I finally got back to the track after school started back. I was a little disappointed to say the least. I was hoping to run atleast 11's but the one run that would have possibly been low enough the tracks timing system messed up or something and i only got my 8th mile time.

After looking around at some of the other cars that are running the same mods as me i feel kinda slow. I mean i know the track i was at is considered a "slow track" and i was blowing the tires up through first but i was still expecting better. Oh well it was fun . If anyone could see any thing i could have possibly done better let me know.

 

not bad runs but your mph are a little slow and your 1-2 shifting can be a little faster, if you look at your 3rd run that 4.9 was likely what made that pass a potential 11 sec run with a 114ish...

 

Good times, what mods ?

 

I think my reasoning for such slow shifting was trying to drive the car. I felt like i was back in my camaro trying to pedal the thing through the first 330. The car was all over the place. Ive cut better sixty foot times before so thats another area for imporvement i geuss. The track had NO prep at all and it was cold. Few cars crossed the center line at the 1000 mark from loosing traction.

The specifc mods are

walbro 255
Gsc s1 cams
ebay fmic
Injen cone filter
Halman pro rx mbc
Topspeed Tune
exey twin hd(stock clutch line with restrictor pill)

The car made 355whp and 358 wtq in not so favorable conditions to say the least so needless to say i was hoping fo rhigher speeds. Oh well i geuss its true track times dont like like dynos do.

 

mph seems a little low for 11s.... Put some race gas and up the boost a little and youl be there... On pump i made 340 and went 12.1 @ 113

 

thats what has me scratching my head, the mph are way off. A week before i went down i pulled a stage 3 srt from a 40 roll at the local aiport(hehe) and he trapped at 119. I just dont get it. Oh well time for more mods. thanks yall

 

What were your shift points?

And for other people with stock turbo in low 12s or high 11s, where are your shift points ?

 

i shift exactly at redline, sometimes a little before redline, and ride out 4th as long as i can.

 

Did you shift to 5th gear?

 

He said:

 

what tires you running?

 

kumho 245-45-17s and i shifted into 5th. I shifted at around 7500. I was worried about the procharged camaro passing me honestly so im sure i didnt shift at the exact points.

 

shifting to 5th seems like a waste to me....i let 4th go the whole way...seems to work good..11.8 @ 116

 

I shift past redline in 1st. All other gears I do at redline and ride 4th out.

btw: you were still pulling a desent 1.7 towards the end, so I don't think you were breaking loose that bad. IMO

 

I don't think your ET is bad at all for the MPH, so that shows you are a good driver. The MPH seems a little low for the mods though, like you said.

how much boost are you running? my guess is that you could turn it up a bit.
