11's barely. Vid inside!! Welcome me to the club, I guess! I ran a 11.96 @ 123.2 the other day @ Norwalk, OH. I have the usual bolt ons (Lid, LTs, Corsa exhaust through gutted cats) as well as a hotcam and a NX 100 shot, manual trans street tires. 60 ft was 2.2!! Yupp, my launches are no good. The car runs 12.4 @ 115.5 n/a. I've had huge problems with my rear suspension until I got new cheap shocks and airbags. Somewhat better now. Anyways, looking at the trap speed, the car has much more in it. I need some stickier tires. But I am happy. The car is a streetcar, not a drag car, therefore trap speed is much more important to me than ETs |
you can tell by the trap speed that should be low low 11s or high 10s |
hey man i race at norwalk to when you going next? |
I don't know. I usually try to stay away from the TnTs, its too crowded on those days. I try to sign up for all the track rentals. Hoewever, we should head out one of these days. |
Congrats and welcome to the club. Coach |
cool vid. what are you launching the car at?? sounds pretty high up there in the rpms Try this- 18-20psi in back tires, 44-50 in the front launch it around 3500-4000 rpm and slip the clutch quickly, dont dump it. thats how i do it on street tires and 4.11s |
Thank you! That time I was launching @ 4500 rpm, slipping the clutch like a mofo. I had to laugh when I read your suggestion about tire pressure, because that's exactly how it was set that day. I tried all kinds of different things since it was my first time @ the track with this setup. I know that eventually I'll do a bit better. I am just really happy about the trap speed, the ETs are secondary to me. |
