Default First runs with GXP - 14.13 @ 97.44

Had 5 runs. Was hard to launch. It seemed like traction control was engaging even though I turned it off. Here is my best run.

14.13 @ 97.44
2.05 60ft on street tires with 20psi
headlight out and open cone intake. Eveything else is stock. I will post timeslip scan when I can.

Here is the video but my camera guy cut it off at the end.

Looks great. At what RPM do you bring the engine up to before you release the brakes?

nice 60'. IM(not so)HO, cone filters cost you power as they are sucking in hot air. Dallas is probably in the mid 70's right now, so the MPH is looking decent as well. Congratulations on a nice run!

Not yet in this car but I used to bracket race my 2000 GTP all the time at Redline Raceway off of I30 near Greenville. I will be participating in the bracket races at Pontiac Southern Nationals on June 6th.

Did you shift manually or just leave it in drive?

Also impressed by the 60', wish I could've done that when I went to the track last!

Thanks. I had someone on the gp forum tell me that dropping tire pressure on street tires just hurts you. In my experience, the quicker you can hook up, the quicker you go.

you have to figure out what pressure your tires work best at and everytime maybe different as there are so many variables to consider, so on and so on. Unlike slicks or drag radials most tires work best btwn 20-27 psi. Usually anything lower then 20 you start losing traction on regular tires do to sidewall stiffness. Also put your rear tires at 50psi for less rolling resistance on the rear as well. That person who told you that doesn't know much about traction. I once had a guy tell me that adding air adds weight. I had to stop and ask him if he was joking and with the straightest face ever told me he was dead serious. I almost pissed myself laughing as I walked away...
