well i am hella happy wouldnt you be?

 

Nice job!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i was sooo ready to B.S. this until i reread it and saw 1/8 mile, not 1/4 lol

 

lol I thought the same thing.

 

with those mods thats a niceass time...im sure ur prob. in the mid 15s in the 1/4...thats gives me hope for my n/a...are those all your mods, are u on stock ports?

 

You really need to get consistent on your launches.
I'm assuming "0.000" is a perfect launch?
Man, your RT's are all over the place.
If you're going to race for money, get the RT's consistent first!

Your 60' time needs some work.
So not only do you need to get consistent with your RT's, but you also need to practice your launch technique.

When I was messing with drag racing, I was able to cut consistent 0.550 lights (0.050 to you).
60' times were 2.1 to 2.2 consistent also.
(I know, not the greatest, but I found out it was a bad rear camber problem. :P )


-Ted

 

if you were able to cut 0.05's then that is pretty much perfect ted. nice times though lastphaseofthis better than me.

 

thanks all.
3/25/2005 was my first time at the strip, i was unsure how to launch back then.
my average reaction is .120 some */- .015
but i am not a good driver yet, i was mostly posting these times to show what great achievments i made off the track. :P

 

Am I the only one who thinks that trap speed is kinda low for that ET?

 

reaction time has nothing to do with your et at all!

Gaining 10mph for those mods from your initial run is awesome!

Your 60' is horrible. If you could cut a 2.0 60' your et would drop .75 seconds....

 

Maybe i'm just misinformed, but I don't know of any N/A guys who can cut a 2.0 60 foot unless they have some really hardcore **** done. He should be able to do better than 2.4 though... that's like something a FWD car would cut.

 

to be honest, i spin all the way threw first, everytime, i just cant seem to keep the engine from bogging without using the high rpms, but next time i am taking drag radials
o by the way scence this is kinda old i will mention i have ran it again and made a new time of 9.81 i will go again soon and see wat i can do... getting a turbo II soon, i need the practice .

 

Are you dropping the clutch when you launch? If you're launching from higher RPMs with street tires, you wanna ease off the clutch a bit more, or you'll keep spinning.

 

I am running a 15.4 with a 2.3 60', with like a 9.933 1/8. So you are in pretty good shape to hit a low 15.
