did some 1/4 miles tonight i think i did pretty good

3 runs
16.5776
15.9811
16.2113

i had a question though whats the best thing to eliminate wheel hop ? i was getting a lot of that.

 

Post up the whole timeslip with like 60 foot, 1/8th miles, and your mph at the end of your runs. For wheel hop i hear motor mounts or maybe damper kit work good.

 

What Kevin said, and drop your tire pressure a bit to help hook up. But I'm tempted to say "damper" to see if Mysz comes and edits my post, too

Yep.

 

Damper!

Motor mounts and lower tire pressures. Don't dump the clutch, do a quick slip.

 

don't floor the gas pedal... get your 60' times... so we ll be better to help you out

 

this was my second run

Reaction - .9051
60 FT - 2.3819
330 FT - 6.7199
1/8 Mile - 10.2992
1/4 Mile - 15.9811
1/4 MPH - 86.37

first run was with a friend of mine in his 2002 WRX

Me ----------------- him
1.3893 ---reaction---1.2511
2.5599------60 FT----2.4700
7.0700------330 FT--7.0265
10.7574-----1/8-----10.7188
16.5776------1/4----16.5243

damn close race i know he should have beaten me by more than .2 seconds

 

Fighting misinformation, one post edit at a time.

 

Now back on topic.
A big place for you to gain time is to improve those 60' times. Even on stock tires, you should be able to pull pretty close to a 2.2 sec time. Work on that launch!

 

need to work on 60ft

 

your 60ft time is pretty good but like others have said you need to work it a bit more - maybe launch at 1800rpm any more than that and you will just sit there spinning - quick slip is also an art form and changing just as the wheels have stopped or almost stopped spinning I suppose what I am saying is almost drive the car off the line but at higher rpms than you do for street

tire pressure should be around 23psi (front only)anythng less than that will give you wheel hop/engine tramping if you have your tires too hard same thing will happen you need a good balance

2.3sec for your first time out is very good I think the best I have seen is 2.1sec (not me ) and I got a 2.2sec so you are not far off good work tho

 

good job man, i pulledd 2.4 and 2.5 60 ft when i went first, i launched at about 2200rpm and that worked pretty well with slipping the clutch to avoid tire spin.

 

you need to work on your reaction time, .500 is the goal. when i launch its at 2200, even if you have tire spin let it keep spinning but not to hit the rev limiter cause then your just being silly. but let it keep spinning at around 5,000, its going to go down to around 4500 and then let it go all the way up to 6500. all i have is intake and exhaust and i run a 15.2 oh and 3 silly subs in the rear.
