Took my IX to the track

Hey everyone whats up? Well i had time to take my IX to the track today and at the end of the day i was pretty happy with my results. I took it to the track before but was only able to pull a 12.4 My mods so far are turboback exhaust(helix dp, helix test pipe, hks catback) Quarter Master twin disk, Forge unos MBC, Reflash done by Adam at Devo tuning. All runs were done on 93oct. and 23 psi. I think i can still get my 60' down a lil but just need to practice. My best run was is on the bottom left timeslip but its kinda hard to tell what i ran from thepicture. 12.004. Well here are my timeslips let me know what u think, or what else i need to improve on. Thanks

Chris

Wow! very nice times and traps. Looks like a better launch would get you some 11's. What launch technique are you using? Other then that it looks like you doing good.

The car is very fast with very simple and proper mods. Your driving looks to be very good, so you're only a good 60' away from an 11. I'd feel bad for your 12.004 if my current best wasn't a 12.000. =P Your car is faster than mine, though, so you can hit 11s at pretty much any time as long as you cut one good 60'.

great times man, your 60' times seem to be consistant even though they are the only thing holding your current setup fron being 11's.. I cant wait to get back to the track.. good luck with the 11's


Have you gotten dyno's? what kinda number did you get? thanks

Based on his traps, he's putting down 350-360whp Dynojet-equivalent, which is just nasty for straight 93oct on a IX with stg1 mods. It does happen, but not to every IX, so this one is in the top percentile.

Whoa, e-brake? Why do people think they have to do that? If you have launch control, then use it...you don't need to mess with the e-brake. Sit there, bounce off the limiter, then go. You pre-load by slowly letting out the clutch until it grabs, then you quickly let out the clutch.
