ATCO - 13.511 @ 103.73 - 8psi (boost leak from 10.5psi)
Like it says!!! I ran a 13.511 with CN Turbo, Catback, 195/60/14 Azenis sagged to 15psi on stock clutch and stock open differential. This is in a 2002 Civic Si EP3 w/ 42,000mi on it. (my daily beater)
I had 5 runs last night. first three were my typical 13.8-13.9. When the fourth run came up i made a decision to stop worrying about my tire life and tranny/clutch and go for broke. I heated the fawk outta the azenis till 3ft clouds of smoke billowed out and when the run started I DUMPED into 1st at 6000rpm and put the pedal to the floor and didn't let go till it was all over. That was this 13.5. The 5th run I tried to duplicate it but only ran a 13.601
Here's the full slip:
Temp: 78F
Re. Humidity: 79%
Absolute Baro: 29.36
R/T: .412
60': 2.013
330: 5.721
1/8: 8.728
MPH: 80.31
990: 11.263
1/4: 13.511
MPH: 103.73
Best part is - later that night I fixed my boost leak!!! So now I'm back to ~10.5 while this run was done at 7.5-8psi.
I NEED TO GO BACK TO THE TRACK!!!!!!

Rep Power: 319 Falken Azenis work better cold, when they get hot, they get greasy & slippery. You probably would do better if they were cold.
But I really dont know anything about drag racing, I autocross, but I run Azenis so I know what happens when they get too hot. Im actually about to get a water sprayer to keep them cool between runs.
Oh yea, good run

Rep Power: 0 thnx.
I was told that by everyone too. I have no clue if there is something I'm missing that haelped me, but the prior runs I was doin 13.8 consistantly. Then I got angry i couldn't do better and smoked the livin FAWK outta the tires to 3ft high billows of smoke - pulled to the line and dumped it and kept the pedal on the floor. 1st gear actually grabbed!! There was only a chirp and no spinning thru the end of 2nd gear. Normally I spin 1st and 2nd and chirp third at the track. I was AMAZED when I got the slip. I got back in line and repeated my tactics - all of which I had done ALL NIGHT except the burnout which I had done only that run. So I did a smokey burnout again and ran a 13.601 with a 2.0 60ft. for my last run of the night I DIDN'T do a burnout, just cleaned the tires. I ran a 13.79 and spun the first two gears.
I dunno, maybe since azenis are softer compound their not good on concrete when hot but being hot and spongey on the all ready sticky track does help.
Unfortunately I VISIBLY wore the tires down bad and spent 2 hrs peeling rubber pieces off my fenderwells... I have to admit tho - I'm gonna do it again this friday with upped boost and see what I can do.
Screw it - Azenis are only $45/ea in the size I'm using.

Rep Power: 0 I get mine at the local speed shop. Not sure a regular auto parts store would carry it since it's specifically for racing.
Good stuff, you don't know you have it on until the rubber rinses right off...

Rep Power: 0 Here is an "In Car" view of me making a 13.517 1/4mi run.
I got the honor of whoopin' a Z28 Camero
Video is 9MB and is MPEG4 format. It will play in Quicktime 6 and Windows Media Player 9 but the extension is funky so you have to tell it to open it in one of those programs, you can't just double click it....
