First trip to strip w/ ta writeup Well All in all, I was a bit bummed on my e/t and 60's but I was really impressed on my trap speed. I have all the details in here.
02 t/a, 6speed, 3.42, firehawk rims, pirelli street tires 35psi all around, lts, ory, dynomouth, lid, bellows, ported tb, !spare, !emissions, !some interior panels and rear seats, !frontswaybar, !stb.
LCA,s, phb, SLP Bilsteins, Eibach prokit, 1le rear swaybar.
I consider myself a pretty good stick driver but I never had track practice. I had my lt1 z/28 a4 at the same track last year and did a 13.9 @ 101
High of 76 degrees.
This is the 2nd time at the track, 1st time with my 6speed. Here's the story:
Drove 1 hour to the track, right away run w/ no preperation and run my best e/t of the day 13.4 @ 108.29 (2.159 60'). I watched an incar vid and i hit the limiter twice (possibly in neutral) but i wasn't powershifting. I launched easy w/o revving up.
I had a few crappy runs and had to bail once because my clutch slipped. I then had a few good runs averaging 13.5 -13.6 @ 108 - 109. Most of the 60' were 2.2 - 2.3.
My last run I ran 13.5 @ 110.75. I was delighted w/ this trap speed. I launched at 2200, modulated a decent launch and powershifted every gear.
My car feels like its just revving in neutral once i get the tires spinning and i can spin through 1st, 2nd, and some of 3rd easy. I had to be careful not to break em loose or the run was shot. I noticed though that even w/ a good launch, this car was a lot more squirly than my z, it is all over the place.
I really would like to shave off some 60' times and get my car into the 12s.
I generally shifted just under redline and quick precise shifts. At first i launched w/o revving but later i worked myself up to about 2200 and modulated the clutch and gas to minimize spinning. I noticed that at wot shifts right under redline the rpms fluctuate which may mean the clutch is going. My clutch may be on its way out as well but it still has some life.
I didn't try any runs shifting any lower, but should i possibly try shifting lower?
My tires are almost shot so i may be picking out some drag radials. Anything I should try technique wise next time i go? Do you think 12s are possible with my setup and how would i achieve them?

good run bud. I ran a13.5 my first time 2.2 60 w/a4. Its hard to be consistant w/m6 it takes alot of practice. I watched more modded cars than yours go 14s all day you ****** a 12.9 in no time. And if you ran at lapeer you should go to ubly or milan LAPEER sucks
