13 second N/A runs

Re: 13 second N/A runs

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....

Why are you still trying to validate doing that nonsense?

No, dont purposely spin the tires on the launch.

Stall it up, as high as you can without breaking the tires loose, and let 'er rip on the 2nd amber.

No. It is absolutely, positively the worst thing you could ever do at the line, especially on street tires

Bottom line, don't do it.

Re: 13 second N/A runs

well....I didnt run the time I wanted...got about 10 runs in though :banana:...couldnt get any traction, so I think if I wanna run better I definetly need drag radials...heres my best 3 times

60.......2.204
330......6.349
1/8......9.777
MPH.....71.31
1000.....12.759
1/4.....15.256
MPH....90.45

60....2.235
330...6.376
1/8...9.798
MPH...71.48
1000...12.773
1/4...15.267
MPH...90.50

60...2.233
330...6.384
1/8...9.806
MPH...71.57
1000...12.778
1/4...15.277
MPH...90.37

all in all it was fun...I beat my buddies srt-4 which made my day (he missed 2nd lol)

to be honest I think the track prep was kinda crappy today...and its weird they entire time I went down the track I heard this whine come from my car....This is the first time Ive ever heard the noise, and it was every single time I ran....loud high pitched whining sound with the pedal down....thought it might be the gears but on normal roads its quiet...

Re: 13 second N/A runs

^with the whining, sounds like your gears may not be set properly. With your complaint about "track prep," track prep isn't going to make the nearly 1.3-second difference you were predicting at the beginning of the thread

Re: 13 second N/A runs

You'll be lucky if you even get a 14 second time slip from the mods you have done since the 15.60.

Guess I was taking to myself.

A 15 second car does not need drag radials.

This is the first I ever heard the whine....its only at the race track....full throttle getting onto the highway shes super quiet...Like there is no whine now, only at the track....thats why I dont think it is the gears...I guess it could be, but wouldnt the whine still be present?

I did spin quiet a bit, and I know that because the rear was kicking out at the beginning no matter what I tried...if you look at my 60ft times, they are pretty much the exact same as last time when the car was squatting....I thought they were supposed to be better?

I was playing with the agx shocks a little, I am not too sure what I should have them set with...on top of this I was running the car right after 1hour 45 minute drive to get there PLUS...sitting in traffic quite a bit....my first runs were 15.4....then I let the car cool down for about 20 mins while I grabbed some food....then I ran the 15.2, but the car was still pretty damn hot....the temp gauge was quarter way up....I would like to run the car when she is cold since thats how I ran it last time....I think then I would break 14's no sweat, but I still need to do something about the spinning...maybe put the lca's to the lowest bolt and play with the shocks some more...I just put them on 2 days ago, so I dont know much about them, I have to feel them out still....

I wasnt predicting 13's I was trying to break them...Just having high hopes thats all...I still think I should be running no more then around 14.5, its ok...gunna tinker with the shocks, and prolly go back around may 31st....hopefully I will do better....

Good way to spin a rod.

Re: 13 second N/A runs

not that cold...I mean just above 75...like 75-80

[Shodown]

Re: 13 second N/A runs

Yeah, 75-80 is not hot enough.

Ideally you'd want to be in the 170-190* range.

my temp gauge doesnt go up that high...i have 75-125....125 means your in big trouble...I think I am talking degrees C here....my 15.4 runs were being run with the temp gauge on the dash half way up....which is hot...the 15.2 was run after it cooled for 20 mins and it was between the 1/2 and 1/4 mark....I would like it below the 1/4 mark which is where it is usually at with normal driving...only time it goes higher is if I am idling too much cause I am in traffic....plus I was idling a lot in the stage lanes....If I dropped 2 tenths with that little bit of temp change I am 100% positive I will be under 15 seconds when I am running colder (normal driving temps)...like maybe 14.9...14.8....

Re: 13 second N/A runs

Just wanted to throw in I did run high 14s with "intake/exhaust" but I also ran low 15s with a best of a 15.2 bone stock.

I ran 14.8s with an unhooked exhaust, 14.6s with unhooked exhaust nad intake... and the 14.4s with the pulled belt.


My car was usually ~130* temp wise

Re: 13 second N/A runs

Good weather makes a huge difference.

I dont know the density altitude that your track normally sees so it's impossible for me to know if your times are good or on par or what....

Go to google and look up a DA calculator and then find information for the tracks area, plug it in, and let us know what the DA is.

Keep racing and it'll eventually all come together.

Re: 13 second N/A runs

Drag radials are unnecessary. What kind of tire do you have now? You should be fine with a street tire, but a good one. I was consistently going 2.0 on stock Goodyear Eagle GA's. The #'s aren't bad. 90mph is scooting for these cars, but that will come down slightly with a better 60'.
