this was my first time running my car at street legals...i just went to a street legals this last weekend to test my ride out and i wanted to know what FC STOCK yr/model each supposed to run at...(street tires) include 60'
this was my quickest...
r/t.... .535
60'... 2.425
330'.. 7.053
1/8... 10.911
mph.. 63.76
1/4... 17.000
mph.. 80.44
how did i do?? any suggestions?
i launched at 4k-5k rpm but the tires couldnt handle it..i was hopping around at the start...all day i was getting 17.000-17.100 for my 1/4mile
frustrated trying to break the 16's

88se
mods...apex n1 exhaust, bonez intake, rebuild engine (w/1000miles),turbo hood
soon to come- street port, bonez racepipe

im gonna go again in 2 weeks with my bonez racepipe installed..hope i break the 16's with that on

 

anyone?????????

 

Well you need to get the 60' time down some. If you could get it to like 2.2 or so I would guess you would be in the 16.4 range right there. Also, not too sure but isn't that a little slow reaction time? What kind of tires do you have?

 

Traction is the single most important element next to HP. Actually i think they should go hand in hand. So better tires or softening up the ones you got could help you out a bit. My friend says he's run a low 15 with his 86 n/a. But he claimed the single biggest factor was the lightweight flywhel. He's using a 9lb aluminum for a TII along with the tranny. He's also got headers and a full 3" exhaust. I would personally run the primaries back as far as you can and stay away from the Monza headers, as we have found out that they are crap. Open the Secondaries and take it from there. try to do one thing at a time. If something goes wrong then at least you'll know exactly what it is. Good luck

 

The fastes bone stock rx7 I saw at qualcolm was a 10.2 in the 1/8 mile. He said he had a drop in filter. I looked under the exaust and was bone rust stock. He said he was just a good driver. I think he might of had tires. The quarter would amount to 15.4 or 6. But most people get low 16s or high 15s at best so dont expect the 15.6. Another 7 with headers cat and filter got a 9.9 at qualcom. This would make a 14.9-15.00 quarter...

I would definatly think somethings not tuned on your car. Every stock 7 should get lower than 16. Could be tires , clutch , fuel dirty, 6ports stuck, VDI closed for some of the main ones.

 

What the altitude at that track? That can make a huge difference. a 17 at my altitude (about 3400 feet) would be a 16 at sea level. And yes the launch is the most important thing. If you can't get off the line good your not gonna run good. Just practice and you'll figure it out.

 

i had ran 15.0 all night with just filter with ca extension,racepipe, wired ports,centerforce clutch.

 

Man .535 is pretty damn good if its on a Sportsman tree (one yellow after another, .500 is perfect)...

Anyway, RT has nothing to do with the ET.

 

true.. I think the time starts when u pass the line no matter how late.. I think. And good job to Detruich.. Do u have a time slip??

 

my fastest time..in the 1/8 is 10.1 STOCK !!! i couldve gotten a 9.9 IF i had a new clutch.
i guess thats good....i never really seen any other 7's around runnin it at the track
10.1 @68.8mph
haha i even had a sloooow reaction time it was 1.03
i dont have any wheel spin on take off...it just launches kinda feels like AWD.....im soon to be hittin the 9's

 

hey Slam. Where do u launch and with what tires. I usually just slam the gas till 4000rpm and dump it. Works for me I guess.

 

i dont know....how i get my launch....i just rev it to 3000rpm and
slide off the clutch then im GONE! the tires i use came with the car..michellin tires...nothing special....i guess i seem to be the fastest
n/a STOCK!

 

i was running on some furtura tires...nothing special. i dont know what the elevation is.. its not high up there..the location is in fontana,ca.ill scan my time slip once i get the chance to..i hear that theres gonna be autoX there on the 16th of Feb...anyone goin? its the same day and place as the next drag race. im lookin foward to go do some auto-Xing..

but i think its not only my tires thats not good, but its prob. the clutch...i dunno whats wrong if U say that stock should run at least 16's...what is the 6th port and how do u know if its workin or not?

 

Well if u look at the ports that are by the airpump.. It will have two mushroom looking things with rods that should move by hand... Rev the car high from inside the engine and wach them open.. Should open around 3800 rpm. Stock and good driving should brake 16s actually.

 

thanks von...ill give that a try

does anyone know what the 60' time should be around for n/a??
im guessing like 2.0 or 2.1 give or take since it is a rear wheel drive it should have a better jump from the start than a fwd

after the engine was rebuilt, there was a quick hesitation inbetween 3800-4300rpm it seemed like it lost power, maybe not enough oil goin through, and then the engine pushes after 4300rpm..im getting that looked into tomorrow...i dunno what is wrong with that
thanks for the advises

 

THe stock N/A times should be as good as 2.2 or thats what most people get... People who get higher than that turn low 16s in the 1/4. I would be happy with 2.2 and with the hesitation... Thiers thousands of threads about the 3800 rpm hesitation... do a search.

 

Englishtown, NJ Raceway Park Nov.14,2001
R/T .653
60' 2.506
330 6.902
1/8 10.537@67.51mph
1000 13.663

Against a Turbo Eclipse that only ran a 14.492@91.76

This was my first night drag racing, so be gentle with the comments. I ran a 16.4 the first time and a 16.9 for my third run. The reason for the 16.9 was they were rushing EVERYONE through for the last run of the night....very quick with the tree. My car is a 1988 Madza RX-7 SE. The car is basically bone stock. It has Opak mufflers on it from the previous owner. He also had a HKS intake(which sucked) that I immediately swapped out for a K&N cone-style intake. That and I stripped down the interior a little bit. It weighs 2700lbs. with me, the passenger seat, 1/2 tank of gas and the spare tire in it. I weighed it at the track. I think I can get down into the high 15 second range if I learn where to dump the clutch. I think that around 4.5k would be good. Three is too low and six was obviously too high(third run ouch). Car had 130,XXX miles on it at the time. It had also been tuned up at 129,801. I'm the 5th owner....wish I knew how the car was treated before I had it....I bought it(well, saved it) from my friend who never took care of her....

 

wheel hop never helps....and there was plenty of that happening.....

 

i guess my car has been babied before i had it....i still seem to runnin the fastest STOCK! n/a
RT:1.037
60FT:2.342

Detriuch may not be able to post a time slip, but im a witness to his slips, and he's no joke. For some reason, the 86 SE/base models were DAMN FAST, another guy on here ran a 14.4 in one with minimal mods.

 

i guess im lucky...cuz i dont have that hestitation im hearin around....
revs nice and smoooth

 

cant wait to see what u run thursday charles. lets put that 88 gtu to work. haha

 

shut up already

 

Not everyone reads from the top...

 

my win=my win, not yours, dont get angry....dont like what i got to say...dont read it. plan and simple. no offense
