Ran my GTO last nught @ the local track COMPLETLY STOCK !!! no exhaust no air intake nothing !!!!!

REACTHION: .275

E.T. 14.243 @ 98MPH is that normall for a 400hp GTO A4 LEFT ON D ?

what can i do to hit 13's ????? oh yea car has like 1,043 miles

 

what is your 60ft time?
post up the time slip.
go in detail on how you drove it down the track, miss a shift, bog, what ever could give more detail on what could be improved on.

also how where the other cars their doing

 

REACTHION: .275
I1: 2.162
I2: 6.083
I3: 9.237
ET: 14.243
MPH: 98.292
well thats what my slip says evryone was doing good the weather was like in the 75-80's

 

well that 60ft is not the best but still not the worst.

did you only get one pass?

 

naw i ran it 3 times firt run i stalled @1000rpm car wheelhoped all down the 1/8mile .Then i went again and hit a 14.6 (did not stall) with thoughs 2 runs i had a air cone so i figured it's sucking up nothing but hot air!!(i had removed the stock air box and put the cone .......So then i was really pissed and said F*%K IT ill put the Stock BOX with no Filter and thats when i hit the 14.2 but in beetween runs i didnt let the car rest run after run :-(

 

Damn sorry to hear about those times man. Bone stock my 06 A4 went 13.11 @ 106mph. How many miles do you have on her and what octane are you using?

 

GTO performance can be very inconsistent due to heat soak. try not running back to back passes and maybe run when its a little cooler outside.

 

60 sucks...but a 1.8 would still only put you at 13.8 or so.

Time to give up $$$ and make it go faster.

 

The car was hot each time you ran. Let the car cool with the hood open for about 45min between runs, then only turn the car on to pull forward in the pit and then turn it off as the cars move forward in front of you.
DO NOT leave the car running as you pull forward as the heat soak is your problem , the IAT sensor is located right behind the radiator and will cause the car to pull timing when it reads hot. That will slow you down from a 104- 105mph trap speed down to 98- 99mph trap speed when the car is hot. Just let it cool off between runs and DO NOT leave it running in the pits, you will pick up 5 to 6mph.

 

Not only that, but if you're brake torquing to get the revs up when launching the 06s have a switch behind the brake pedal that kills the throttle, on top of having Torque Management.

 

Don't feel bad....I struggled to get out of the 14s myself. I try not to take the track to seriously anyways. As long as I don't break anything and can actually drive my car home, I'm happy. Heat soak is probably the main culprit.

 

How can i put a stop to this HEAT SOAK thing ??????? can it be deleated with a tune or....well how can i stop it ?????? can it be stoped ? oy yea and when i ran the car i had 1,014 miles i had just passed the 1000 mile mark is that good or bad ?

 

It's a tough call. A tune is supposed to go a long way in keeping your car from pulling all that timing when the heat goes up. Letting your car sit for 45 minutes between runs was a good suggestion too.....though I always found it tough to keep starting and shutting my car off in the staging lanes. Lower temp thermostat may help a bit too. Just a few ideas.

 

A tune will help a lot, even without mods. Torque management is aggressive. Also, make sure traction control is off. If left on, it can take all the timing out of the car.

 

What? That's a new one - are you sure the switch doesn't just turn the brake lights on and shift lockout on autos. Or is that an input for tq mgmt as well?

 

no that's true....try doing a burnout with an automatic '06...

Ya can't unless you zip tie that switch and trick the car into thinking the brake pedal is not being depressed.

 

but my car lets me do burnouts like nothing ?

 

I could see a 14.2 with a 6 speed and perhaps short shifting every gear. Does your car "feel" strong through the entire rpm range? That 60 ft is not bad at all, but 14.2 sure is - there's something terribly wrong...

 

I did just notice you had 1000 miles - that's a bigger issue than heat soak IMO. Kick the crap out of that car and take it back after 5000 miles.

 

yeah man, your car is barely if not even broken in yet. give it some time and some miles and she will work for ya. id get some headers and a good tune.
