What time are you going?

 

It's in the morning. So plan to be there around 6 am.

 

bump for tomorrow

 

2 ppl?
idk if im goin
my clutch is not
ready for the track

 

thinking about it. although I have no tires. what if I just put them at like 20psi? haha

 

iim goin assuming i have my car back.lol

 

^^ what's up with your car?

Also, I have a helmet if anyone happens to need one. 13.99 or faster.

 

I should be there in the Cobalt. Forecast is showing drizzles likely until 11am, so hopefully they don't cancel.

 

A lot of people showed up, I got my first run in at about 11 and I got there at 6:50. But.....

First run:
r/t .128
60' 2.102
330 5.929
1/8 9.050
mph 79.70
1000 11.680
1/4 13.920
mph 100.7

I was happy, it was my first 13.
Put the helmet on...Second run:
r/t .109
60' 2.115 (a little wheel hop, let off a touch)
330 5.907
1/8 8.984 (first 8 second 1/8 mile)
mph 80.64
1000 11.595
1/4 13.814
mph 101.51

Called it a day. I have cams to install....

 

wow that many ppl ?
so between 9 and 1059
ya just parked and waited >_<
they need more lanes

 

no way tom u hit 13's on ur sunfire? did u do the new things yet?

 

Yup, didn't install the cams or the valve springs, but I did tune it for the methanol injection and 42 lb injectors.

 

Me and a few solstices are heading to irwindale on the 4th if any of you want to join us.

 

cool cool. wat size pulley? why not 60's?

**** that 8th mile ****

 

Nice times man I watched your second run

Anyways here were my times

 

this is why u need a dash hawk.

so we can pratice b4 the track. lol. i can tell ur bad launch man.

 

That program on my laptop can do 1/4 mile times too I should try it out

Check out the wheelspin lol

dam man what were u racing these 3 runs..u won everytime lol..

 

1st was a late 90's early 2000's GT mustang
2nd was a newer Civic SI
3rd was an IS300 with a T67 Turbo (he came up to me and wanted to race, then claimed that he bogged at the launch)

 

I went with a lnf cobalt friend of mine. One of my tunes on his car, otherwise stock.

13.5@105 with a 2.2 60'
Second time at the track, all in all wasnt a bad turn out.

 

ahh well thats funny cuz he sounds like the honda owners lol...he probably had a honda be4

 

Lol sort of limited to the 1/8th mile since California Speedway might kick you off the track if your a convertible running under 13.99 and no roll bar.


Also Dashhawk doesn't display accurate readings of 0-60's and etc sometimes. Wheel Spin can confuse it easily. Have had people posting on the solstice forums that they have done 0-60 times of like around 4.2seconds with just a tune which seems highly unlikely to me. If you really want to practice get an iphone/itouch and download Dynolicious. Its accurate within 1-2% of track times.

 

3.0 pulley (I see 11.5 psi), idc is about 80% in hptuners.


David I knew you could easily hit 13's. I'll see if I can post up the video of your first run. I was amazed by your trap speed at 109 mph. Those new lnf's have great power. I saw your second run too, it look like you missed second and let off for a second. Get that 60 foot down to a 2.0 or 2.1 and it's low 13's.

 

looks like fun stuff guys...i need mounts and axles lol
