New best times!!

[ravenp]

Well, at the beginning of this year, i clocked 16.7 and since then i've had the goal of beating 16.0 without modding.

Today on the last day of the season, i did it!

60' = 2.33
et = 15.84
mph = 86.34

The temp was 5celcious, 80% hum.

My last time at this track I bested 16.3. Since then i've cleaned the TB, adjusted my throttle position sensor, reset my pcm with the SLP IAT mod installed and built an air scoop for under my SLP CAI.

Plus it was colder [img]smile.gif[/img]

Special thanks to Steve (TealV6) for loaning me the nittos to play with. I managed a 2.2 60' with them but couldn't get better than 15.9 with them...??? The track was cold and the nittos weren't hooking :(

Anyways, i am thrilled to hit my goal with this basically stock car in my first season of racing.

Now that I have a healthy car, i'm ready to mod.

I have a line on some 3.42's. LSD is next. Then converter and 1 pc driveshaft.

Next year's goal is 14.99 :D

the nittos werent hooking and all you could muster was 15.8 at 86 MPH? doesnt sound as if you need nittos... not saying that im fast at all but i run just fine on street tires.

i didn't have traction problems UNTIL i got a torque converter--up till that point, street tires were perfectly fine.

Well, this track isn't known for being well taken car of [img]smile.gif[/img]

Tealv6 will back me up on this. He had a whale of a time hooking too.

I wasn't even brake torquing... i just slammed the pedal when the last yellow hit. Brake torquing made it worse(16.1)

Only one of my local tracks sprays enough to keep me from breaking loose and the last time i ran there it was hot and i got 16.0.
