What should my Stock ss/sc run at a 1/4?

I have new shocks/struts. stock 100k mile springs lol. Fujita 3" intake. Vibrant exhaust, and OTTP 4th gen H/E.

First run was terrible. 16.123

Second run 15.37 best time of all of em.

I did however get a .015 R/T on 1 of them lol everyone was impressed on how fast i react.

I seem to only be able to get my 60'ft at 2.5 or more cant get it down.

Lowered my Tire pressure from 40lbs to 32lbs. Bunny hopped alot but tried to feather the clutch/throttle.

Should my car be a mid-high 14's stock. Also my oil needs a change didnt have time that might of cause some sluggish feel.

 

I belive stock SS/SC is around 14.1-14.6, 14.1 being the record for a stock one, I have mods that should put me in the high 13s, but its just been far too hot and inconsistent track days for me to actually learn to launch my car, my best time was a 14.4 with a broken IC pump

 

and that was stg2

I did my IC pump less than 20k miles ago. Idk however if i got ALL the air outta my system when installed the H/E. Could i just open that valve on top of the h.e to get it out while its running?

I have no clue what my IAT2's are. i need a guage to show me

is my car ok or broken?

My tires are also Eagle GT's very nice compound all season tire

Only reason i went is to see what this car runs almost stock.

 

I have no idea, I didn't even know air bubbles were an issue, almost all my coolant got drained when I had my H/E done

 

your eagle gt's with a very nice compound aren't helping you at all

 

Lol at eagle gt's have a nice compound. Cut ur pressure down to like 25 instead of 33. That might help alittle, or just buy some decent tires.

 

eagle's are decent street tires for griping

 

Lol apparently not with your 2.5 60 foots.

If you pulled decent 60 foots you would have been in the 14's.

 

yeah but it's not my tires if im bunny hopping. I'm getting tons of traction. I don't have aftermarket mounts so im hopping, plus im afraid to f up my clutch. trying not to slip it

this is my first time at the strip ever. so i didn't know what to expect.

 

idk, but does altitude affects right???

 

it was humid as hell out today so...

 

having the correct tire pressure when racing helps for your wheel hop alittle. plus mounts they help alot

 

get some more track time, youll get the times down

 

I'm gonna go back when it's a bit cooler out, see if that helps. Don't wanna ruin my car but trying to enjoy it!

 

X2 and did I get this right? You normally run your tires at 40??

 

when they were installed by Ntb they had the tire pressure at 40lbs so yes. Due to have a comfortable driving condition

 

Huh if you think running 40psi makes it more confortable you should try and run the correct pressure you will think your driving on clouds

 

OP, if you're getting wheel-hop consistently, stop racing until you get mounts. Wheel hop will snap your axles with a quickness, and you don't want that hell.

 

just put my TTR trans mounts on yesterday LOVING THE TORQUE!

whats the correct pressure?

 

like 32-34 pounds i think. 40 will make for a very hard and stiff ride

 

 

my best time for my 06 ss/sc was a 14.01 and i only have a 3.1 pulley runnin 15lbs and a k&n typhoon intake...

 

If it was hot/humid, then your times will suffer (higher DA). Try heading back when its a bit cooler and less humid to see how you do. Try working on that launch to bring the 60' down too.'


Good luck man.

 

lol your times are not going to suffer that bad because of the heat. i promise his problem was running 40 psi tire pressure at the track causing horrible 60 fts and nasty wheel hop. now hes got some trans mounts and if he runs his tire pressure at around 26 give or take some he will hit good times because he will have alot better 60 fts

 

Lower your tire pressure to 27psi...rev to 2500-3000rpm and feather the clutch out as u roll onto the gas. If you feel the car wheel hopping...get of the gas right away.
