I have a 87' turboII 81k on her. intake filter,mufflers,new clutch,shortthrow,and gutted cat/no split air pipe. Highschool nationals at norwalk 1/4 mile are sunday so im going to run her for the hell of it... Just wondering what I should expect to run so I have something to go by. Once summer is offically here ill be upgrading fuelpump/secondarys/wastegate and full exhaust/rtek etc. . But until then what should I run with my pretty much stock setup??

 

Not as fast as you think it will go..

 

15's all day if it's your first time.

 

yaa i kno i go to the track all the time "or used to". i live 40 minutes from 2 dragways . . . I just dont really kno wut to expect out of the ol rx7

 

you'll trap 99

 

Agreed.

My first time at the track was one of the most humbling experiences of my life.

As was mine!

 

MINE WAS CRUNK.

And terrible .

 

I remember thinking I was hot ****...I had my 1970 GTO with a 400 and 4 speed....after the trip to the drag strip, I definitely didn't think I was so fast anymore.

well my 1st run down the track i ran a 16.2...i was furious...2nd run i pulled off a 14.587 at 95.07mph with a reaction time of .599.I was sooooo happy with myself and the car. ill get the time slip up soon once i find a camera/get my scanner to work so its clear.

 

Nice work, 14.5's are respectable with your mods.

 

ya I think i can pull off a better time I need to improve my r/t + i granny shifted into 3rd.
What do you think is a good rpm to launch from on street tires?? I was launching at about 4500.

 

r/t doesnt matter. you can sit at the line with the light green for 5 minutes and run a 13 second pass.

 

It is rather annoying when people think the R/T helps their overall time.

If you're running heads up, it'll just give you a better chance at beating the other guy to the finish line...even though your time would be the same.

 

o ok lol i never knew that :P
