New track times after H/C/I

[91notchbk]

I just completed my H/C/I in April and went to the track the first time. Here are the time slips.

My car is number 18. I ran on street tires and was slipping in first and part of second.

On some DR's she has mid 12's for sure! Nice first time out!

Thanks.

Actually, my first run was 13.83. My second run I lugged it and ran my worst time at 14.03. I found that launching at 2000rpms and feathering the throttle worked best which I was getiing 13.3s. I went around the water box and did not heat up the tires. I also did not powershift.

What times should I expect with some Nitto 555s? Mybe 12.50s or 12.60s?

you should spin street tires a little to clean them off and I've found that with my falken ziex tires I had to really heat them up, not as muchas slicks but close.

I ran the same mph with roughly the same combo. What worked best for me was a 3k launch ridign the cluthc on street tires. As for the falken ziexs, to me it makes no difference whether I heat em or just a quick turnover. :/

Yeah, nice first time!


Have you had it dyno'd yet? What kind of numbers are you putting down?


As far as the Falkens go, I have to agree with a good heat up. Mine hooked great with a stock engine after smoking 'em for a while.

Thanks iLkYsPoNy. My work rented the track for the day and also rented a portable dyno to use for free. I got a run in and it ran 318rwhp. The dyno was not the best set-up and did not gve me hp/torque curves. It gave me speed/hp. See attached link for the print-out. I also weighed at 3020lbs without me and 3230lbs with me.

I really wish I would've hit 300 rwhp. I was so close at 291rwhp and 301 ft lbs. I had some issues after the tune and hopefully with the problems fixed they can squeeze an extra 9 horses out of it for bragging rights tonight when I go.


Maybe I can think like a ricer real fast and not get flamed... I'm putting tint on and maybe it will give me an extra 9hp!



Syke... but I do hope I can better my stock EVERYTHING run of 14.3 w/ a 2.0 60'

Tint will give you at least 10 ponies.
