Well I ran my car for the first time tonight, I ended up running a 13.54 at 101 mph I had a 1.5 for a reaction time and a 2.3 60foot. Ive never launched an awd car or been to the track before so I think I did allright.Hopefully I do beter next weekend when I go back.

 

terrible. I hope you're bone stock.

 

Lower your 60'.

 

Wrong forum, but how about listing some mods?

 

Just one run??? Seems like a waste of cash to me.

On my first time I did 3 runs cuz the first two I missed a gear (4th, 2nd) . Third run I did a 12.7.

 

i would practice to lower you 0-60ft times. if you're stock, u should try to hit lower 13's and stay in 4th gear to the finish

edit: slip the clutch too if u didn't. a 2.3 0-60 is usually when the car bog down then takes off. is that what you did? just my 50cents

 

2.3 was my 60 foot in my old 330whp fwd sentra (azenis). You can do better than that.

 

A few tips ...

1) Don't baby the clutch on the launch. When the slack is gone from the drivetrain, get off the clutch quickly!
2) Leave on the 3rd yellow, not on the green. This will lower your R/T. You have ~7" of rolling room before you trip the lights if you stage correctly.
3) Stage "shallow" (where the second set of staging lights are just coming on) for the best trap speed and ET. This basically gives you a running start.
4) Shift above 6800 or so. I've gotten the best results in my MR shifting at ~7200, but it will be different in your 5 speed. Try different shift points and watch your trap speed to figure out the best shift point.

Good luck on future trips!

 

good work, im looking foward to my first trip to the track.

 

I can't wait to get to the track for my EVO's first run down the 1/4. I'm kinda scared cause the track is about 3 hours away & Ill be on a stock clutch. I have not launched the car yet, because I know the stock clutch only has a few launches in it. Maybee I'll get enough money for an upgraded clutch before I go.

 

My mods are a megan racing 3in tbe, 4 inch mas adapter, clutch, turbo xs boost controller and 264 cams. Now dont forget today I have owned the car for a week so I havnt had much time with it.

 

with them mods..
thats horrible

i ran a 13.2 with a 2.2 60ft @ 108mph
and all i have is a tbe,intake, mbc and my car is still untuned

 

Who gives a **** how you compare. Give the guy a break, it's his first time and only with 1 run.

 

Thats almost as bad as the op's!

 

Don't plan to replace your clutch based on the results of bad drivers ... I've got about 30 drag launches on my stock clutch and it still holds fine. I'm putting down around 350 whp as well.

Just don't be afraid of the clutch. As long as you still have the pill in the clutch line you can disengage very quickly after the slack is out of the drivetrain.
