13.8 @ 104

Saturday night, I went to the track. Track conditions were pretty terrible, I should've had much better 60's. Nonetheless, here are the results:

Got three 13 second passes.

First run out:

RT: .6797 :shock:
60: 2.2739
ET: 13.8719
MPH: 103.69

Not bad for the first run of the night.

Next best run:
RT: .2658
60: 2.3663
ET: 13.8877
MPH: 104.60

I let a friend of mine make a pass, this was his 2d run:
RT: .6240
60: 2.3644
ET: 13.9948
MPH: 106.06 :shock:

I figure with some better 60's, I should have under a 13.5 easy. Next Saturday night the track should be more well prepped so I'm hoping for low 13's. We'll see how it goes.

Edit: Didnt' see your sig. I figured you would be in the low low 13's with almost 250 hp. Nice job though

On a side note, I'm glad a boosted person finally went to the track.

Yes, I was running drag radials at 32 psi. I'm going to lower it to about 25 and see how much that helps.

I am running about 13.5 psi boost.

drop the pressure to 18 and watch your 60ft time drop also.

trap speed doesnt really mean anything besides that he had a loss of traction and that his friend was probally spinning the tires a bit which is why he had a higher trap speed. with a lower trap speed you usually have less tire spin and a lower ET.

Holy **** that is fast for a 7thgen! Good job! You'll beat a lot of SRT4's with times like that, match some, lose to some.. but you can hang! What a suprise your car must be to unsuspecting motorists. Everyone expects every 7th gen to be a dog. Thumbsup. Make videos if possible, I'd like to see them!

awesome times homie. Try lowering the psi in your tires to see if it helps any. I know playing with that and finding the right tire pressure can shave a few tenths off your 1/4

andyman 25psi would still be to much drop it down between 10 to 14psi and make sure you drive around the water box with drag radials and do a dry burnout in 2nd gear to get enough wheel speed pull strait up to the starting line (don't do a dry hop that will shock the heat out the tires) when you launch your car slip the clutch a bit so you don't hit the tires too hard, with a little bit of practice you should be cutting 1.9 to 2.0 60ft. or you could just ditch the drag radials and buy some slicks for instant 1.8 60ft. Also if you want to shave another .10 or more off your 60ft I can get you hooked up on some sweet tire dope

Here my old stock suspension bucket of **** cutting another sweet ***
1.65 60ft.

The pic was taken at Virginia Motorsport Park I use to live near Richmond and now live in Canada and that explains that incase your wondering,lol

If I had slicks, I'd be running 12's on a good track.

I'm not too concerned about getting it on video. I don't have a camcorder, so I don't really care. The track isn't open right now, and yes, I need to do some work before I take it back out. Won't be too long, just not sure when the track will open back up. I believe it'll prolly be in February sometime.
