Ok, so you're bringing the car back down to, what...near stock weight? And what to stock weight cars, with stock internals, run?
100 less...unless I can figure out where to drop more weight...like I said it looks like from the responses running 13's is next to impossible with my current set up...however I wont be satisfied until I go to the track and see for myself which will be may 31'st...I will post my results either way whether I run 18 seconds or w.e it happens to be
After you run the car we will be able to give you solid advice on how to go faster. Smokes has more experience racing these cars than most members and I have more experience than probably 95% in these cars...I know we can both help you out if you go get solid info to work off of.
Speculation will just upset you from our answers and then annoy us with the continued speculation.
Density Altitude plays a HUGE roll in how quick your car will run.
At your DA running a high 14 would NOT be a bad time at all.
What you need to do is go and see what other cars are running and compare to them. Dont compare on paper because some people run at tracks that have lower DA.
I've picked up nearly a half second difference before just from the DA being so much better on one day.
well....assuming my retuned pcm gets here in time, I am most likely going to the track this saturday....its not cayuga though...Im not even sure of the name, Im actually following some guys up...I'll try and find the DA of the track and other info so you guys can help me out on that kinda stuff...when Im there who at the track would know information like that?
Go onto a weather website and find out the temperature, altitude of the area, pressure and relative humidity and you should be able to plug that into a DA calculator (go to google.com and type in DA calculator)
Good luck at the track...have fun and dont expect anything spectacular your first time out with new mods.
ok...so this is going to seem like a dumb question I think...I was testing out the new shocks on a back industrial road when I decided...I wonder how I will launch in the A4 with the 3.90's in the rear....I was able to hold the breakstand to like 2700-2800rpm before I let go...can I do that at the track? I know they say no burnouts except in the burnout box...
I know to launch at the track Im going to have to brake torque...I'd like to see how long I can hold it, but I dont wanna get kicked out because I am beginnning to burn rubber at the start line while the tree is counting down...Will I get introuble if I do something like this....when I let off the rpm sky rocketed up but it seemed to grab after a maybe 10ft?...I think this could be an ideal launch?...
I'd like to see how long I can hold it, but I dont wanna get kicked out because I am beginnning to burn rubber at the start line while the tree is counting down...Will I get introuble if I do something like this....
No not at all. People spin all the time off the line.

Ummmm, no LOL. You dont want to spin the first 10 feet, thats a terrible launch and will net bad ETs and 60's.
BTW, do you have drag radial tires?
u wanna spin a bit though no?....and I would be spinning my tires likely before the light even goes green...
and no I dont have drag radials....this would not be a burnout in the burnout box....it would be my tires spinning while Im brake torquing at the line waiting for the light to go green...
I was able to hold the breakstand to like 2700-2800rpm before I let go...can I do that at the track?
You can...you'll just run a 16-second ET, and probably get laughed at by everyone at the track.

If you want to hold the car at a higher RPM, without burning out, you'll need an aftermarket stall.

yea, spinning more than the length of your car is not "an ideal launch"
No not at all. People spin all the time off the line.
he's talking about doing a break-stand burnout at the line...as in, staging and then revving so high that the rear wheels spin, while the tree is falling.

I know I would need a stall to hold it higher, Im not ready for one of those yet...but spinning at the line is ok then, not good....but ok?...even if I dont hold it to 2700, I need to still find the threshold of the highest point I can hold it without the tires breaking loose...I think its around 2g's
but spinning at the line is ok then, not good....but ok?...
No. It is absolutely, positively the worst thing you could ever do at the line, especially on street tires.

If only I had some sort of emoticon to convey my feelings at the moment. I wish I could wake up one morning and find out this is a joke post, but it's not. Thusly, I fear for the future of the earth.
Stall it up, as high as you can without breaking the tires loose, and let 'er rip on the 2nd amber.

I got that...but I am saying, what happens if the tires break loose while I am sitting there?...would I get kicked for that?...I mean, its a trial and error kind of thing....
Hey guys. For starters I’ve always been a big car guy, I love all types of cars and can appreciate all types of engineering. I’ve always been a Chevy...
