NO VENOM

Last Saturday I went drag racing the first time since I got the car done,now I my best time was 12.6 @ 113 mph @ 6000 ft elevation and running only 1 bar of boost I could of up the boost but I'm still trying to baby my damn car,and my 60ft was pretty bad(2.3)I was running Nitto drag radials and still slipping all first gear.What do you think ??

How are you launching? your 60' should be down a bit more than that.

I was launching at 5500rpm,do you think I could have done better?

ttpowerd

Try launching a little lower to keep from the massive wheel spin. That ought to help a lot. Remember 'more traction = better times'

I don't doubt you could get it down to about 12.3 or 12.4. Just keep practicing

Your 60 could have been better maybe.. but your time total time was good. What do you have in your car?

umm 12.6 is a really good time that means you have a very fast car compared to most on the road
however with the mods you have I'd think you could do much better than that. I don't know how much the elevation hurts your time but it should be considerably higher I think.
Why did you get all those mods? Raise the damn boost!!
How many miles on your car?
I understand if you are trying to baby it if you just got the motor put in but you shouldn't be at the track at all if that is the case. I would say give it a good 1000 miles after to break in and then use it 100%.
I have intake, downpipe, and catback, pettit ecu and a rebuilt mild street ported motor and thats about all that I have that adds hp and I'll be running 12 pounds of boost. The owner of the shop told me with this setup I will run 12.7 on a very good run. So I'm guessing from this that yours should be much better. He also told me if I add fuel pump, midpipe, and turn the boost up to 13 I will run a 12.4.

good luck with that and be nice to your car for a while I know I'm going to....

Yea, with a single turbo you should be running much better than that....11's perhaps. Just need to work on the launch and you should be low 12's if not 11's.

West TX RX-7

If he runnin 12's at 6k feet he would drop a lil more than a second at sea level. Thats Low 11's on the street, thats really fast!!

I have an idea for you. Spend the cash on some ET streets, launch it at 5500 and run mid to high 11's at 6000 ft. elevation. That would be most impressive.

Oh... yeah, crank up the boost and really give it hell!
