First time at the 1/4 mile

[Shodown]

Sigh....

Probably 100+ cars and only 2 hours for TnT cuz they started late so I only got 3 runs in :( They dont have stadium lights so you can only run during the day.

Elevation...2,031 ft
Daily Temp...75*
Humidity.....85%

Run 1:

60'....2.319
1/8...9.35
1/4....14.36
mph...98.69

Run 2:

I left it in 1st gear from the burnout, it bounced the rev limiter so the run was a 15.xx :o

Run 3:

60'....2.34
1/8....9.28
1/4....14.30
mph....98.48

My 60's are KILLING me!!!!! It just wont take off. I have it figured out though, I thought about it on the way home. I will have some updates in the nitrous section in the next few weeks of what Im going to do to fix my launches ;)

Re: First time at the 1/4 mile

hell not bad times though considering the 60's definately a solid 13 second car with a good launch.

Re: First time at the 1/4 mile

Re: First time at the 1/4 mile

I wasnt spinning at all, it just wont take off quickly.....

Re: First time at the 1/4 mile

Sounds like it's time for a high-stall converter, or hit the nitrous sooner.

Re: First time at the 1/4 mile

or hit the nitrous sooner.

Bingo ;)

I am gathering parts for a supplemental set up.

Re: First time at the 1/4 mile

You need to be able to come out of the hole on nitrous, until you get a converter you wont be able to do that safely. I wouldnt spray under 3000 rpms, and until your car is launchign at 3000 rpms you're gonna have problems.

Your car still isnt making the power it should be though. I still think it's in your tune and that's why it's only trapping 98 mph.

Atleast now you have a 1/4 under your belt and oyu know what you are working with...that's half the battle.

It's also good you could drive it home...always a plus :P

With a dry kit I can spray out of the hole under 3000 ;)

BTW, I'll be hittin you up soon for some nitrous parts Shawn :D

Re: First time at the 1/4 mile

Thats right...I always forget you're running dry and not wet. Definatley safer to spray lower on dry than wet.

And I'll be ready when you need something :)

I am running a wet kit right now, but I will be modifying the set up to be 2 stages: dry down low and wet up top :D
