hit 13's

[kristen]

ok well here it is. the first time i went i don't even want to talk about i got so excited that i missed 3 and 4th gear and ran a very very poor 15.4. with n/x (don't ask don't want to talk about it) i only got to do 2 runs since it was drag night or something. so after my last run and looking at the time slip i know that i can hit 12's just need practice. this was my first time on the drag tires and a 100 shot so i know i will have better times. heres the slip

r/t .683
60 2.00
3305.911
1/8 8.971
mph 82.09
990 11.519
1/4 13.8
mph 103.40

13.8 for the first time at the track, I wouldn't be complaining ;)

Congrats!

[kristen]

i've been to the track before. total of maybe only 8 passes. but this is the first time this season and my car is like 100% different with the mods. i KNOW that i will and can do better. rock on

[1DangerousV6]

nicely done! ..60' is really good..and theres definitely better times in store with a mph like that on your first time out [img]smile.gif[/img]

congrats...did u launch off the 2 step?

[kristen]

yep!

[foff667]

what air pressure were you at? Was that with the new tires? Did u get the aluminium DS on yet? Wish I were there to help ya out :(

[kristen]

yes new tires, yes aluminium ds. tire pressure was at 32 in the front on my stock pzero nero ms tires and 18 in the rear with the bf comp tires. like i said only had 2 runns one which i don't count. i think that we're going back next tuesday also.

if that tire psi worked for you..go that way next time too..and if you're hooking right off the line and on N20 injection..try bumping the psi up a little..you want as much psi as possible without spin..also..at what rpm were you launching at?..i forgot you drive a manual [img]smile.gif[/img]

if she was launching off the 2 step its 4500rpms...i was going to say the same thing about tires...with a good burnout na you should be able to launch well with the tires up around 25psi...not sure about if your launching with nitrous you'd have to experiement some.

[1DangerousV6]

ahhh..manual lingo..hehe..im only on the stock TC still so i stall up around 2000rpms..my rears are at 27 - 28psi

[kristen]

i was running higer pressure but one of the guys told me to run 18 in the rear. so i was just like ok whatever. i need to find a sweet spot for the tires. i know that i did spin on the launch. so what pressure would you guys recomend?

[12secondv6]

Did you really launch at 4,500 rpm's?

When do you hit the nitrous?

What rear suspension/ tire brand/ size are you running?

HUGE potential!!!!! So, with 10 passes under your belt... you are already in the 13's... and only 2 passes on nitrous!!! Girl, you are gonna kick @ss this year!!!!

Kristen, after watching the burnout and launch on your second run, I say you need to invest a few bucks in a line lock. If you can get those tires heated up nicely it will help your 60' TONS!

Nice shifting on the second pass, maybe I'll get to formally meet you next week.
