Not really happy with my times, i think my trap speed is there but maybe there's a few things i need to work on. here's my best pass...

R.T ... .100
60' ... 2.468
330 ... 6.682
1/8 ... 9.996
MPH ... 72.25
1000 ... 12.841
1/4 ... 15.201
MPH ... 98.06

Keep in mind this Arizona and it was 100+ degrees outside. I think i'll wait now for winter when it's alot cooler out.

my mods are Injen cai. and megan exhaust.

 

mods? the trap speed is OK considering the weather. your 60 foot is terrible. how are you launching? I assume you are launching too hard and spinning a lot. You want to put as much power down without spinning as possible. A little spin is ok, but a lot will just make you slower. remember going WOT right away doesn't make you accelerate faster. use the clutch to keep control of the tires while rolling into the gas. dont just mash the gas and dump the clutch.

 

i edited my post with mods..

 

60' ... 2.468. Cut that down to around 2.00 and you will increase you eta. Also your probably losing .5 due to how friggen hot it is here.

By the way I installed my rotors yesterday. Thanks for the good deal again!

 

yeah i started the night in the mid to high 15's... and worked my way down to that 15.2 . It was my first time out in the car so hopefuly more practice will get me there. Glad you liked them man!

 

Do some cooling mods. And launch easier and youll get it down

 

I personally launch at 2500 and feather the throttle until around 5000. Then I can mash it right before I shift to second.

 

Also,Iknow everyone probably knows this,run your tank almost empty.I almost always end up going with a full tank(doh)Did you drop your tire pressure?What RPM did you launch at?

 

12 gallon tank... 6 lbs per gallon... 72 lbs of added weight

 

I was launching hard at around 2k rpm. I did not drop the tire pressure, and i had a full tank of gas LOL. Reading the posts i think ill be prepared for next time out.

 

well i was going to say that you weren't really doing anything wrong. cause looking at the slips. theres not really any mistakes. theres some things that could be better. but nothings really "wrong" its just hot. but then you just said you didn't adjust your tire pressure. you don't want to lower it down too much, but if you don't adjust it at all you'll start to hop, and then spin. i've got a video on my facebook of me racing an '02 prelude. and i only beat him by 2 cars because i didn't lower it down and spun aaaall of first. and aaaall of second.

 

what's a good psi to set it at?

 

buy a bag of ice at the track or bring a bag or 2 in a cooler, put it on ur blower during cool-down...

 

depends on the tire. you don't want to go too low. because if its a thicker, not taller, sidewall. then you could risk blowing it out. also if you go too low the tire will sort of buckle, and you'll only be riding on the outside of the tire and not all the way across.

 

Hatrickstu mod works well too.
