First time to the track 12.76, a little help please R/T ... .354
60 ... 1.986
330 ... 5.488
1/8 ... 8.295
MPH ... 88.12
1000 ... 10.714
1/4 ... 12.763
MPH ... 109.87
Only made one pass because it was crowded. Next time I plan to go on a week night.
My mods are in sig but I don't have the BMR extreme torque arm installed yet. I didn't hook at all, it didnt even feel like my front end came up at all like it does on the street. My burnout was way too short, didn't even smoke the tires. I tried brake stalling to 3000rpms and on the last yellow I let off and floored it. Tires broke free and spun all through first. I never let up and it caught in second after a slight fishtail.
My question is, even though I launched shitty, shouldn't my trap speed be higher? I know it can do a lot better ET but I'm a little worried about such a low trap. The only two things I can think of that might be holding it back are weight(big sub, two amps all bolted to a sheet of carpeted plywood) and/or I noticed my rear tire is slightly rubbing my fender. The mark is only about an inch long by 1/2" thick. Can that make a noticable difference?
What do you guys think my car should be capable of?
TIA,
Lou
