My first run VS Svt cobra W mods


Second run VS Camaro SS With hella mods Waited in the staged position for 13 sec due to issues down track. trans went into limp and had to let off

Last run VS Evo 8

 

If it wasn't for your reaction time you woulda broke 14 seconds :P

 

Is it just me or is the time & mph a bit on the slow side. I would expect those times from a stock ralliart but considering the flash and the exhaust I would hope for faster times?

 

It's not just you I'm thinking his launch RPM was probably about 750. Definately did not load it up at all.

 

def. needs to work on that launch if you wanna hit 13's. especially with what you got on.
I hit mid 13's all day, with just an AMS tune. but you gotta launch it right.

 

reaction time has nothing to do with your ET

Lol, you beat me to it. ET's aren't affected by a persons reaction time. A better 60' and shift points would impact ET's.

 

Yea I couldn't get the launch. It was so hot that the tranny had me worried.

 

The "canned" tune was created off of a dyno run.That would be why they have a shop car, that is currently pushing 370wph. My tune was sightly detuned because I still have the stock BOV and they didn't wanna crack it from to much boost.

 

dont be afraind to launch that bia. if you wanna go to the track.
Only way youll get a good time is if you launch it.
Just dont abuse it.

 

If it's any help to you...
When I race I have my foot on the brake, and the other foot on the gas at 3000 RPM. When it's time to launch, it launches. There is ZERO lag and you are off!

 

I think he went into the shop and they tuned him specifically.

 

+1

I went to the track last fri and Launched that biotch 5-6 times! the first 2 times it didn't rev up to 3000rpm cause it was way too hot and I had just traveled 30 miles... I got my *** handed to my by my friend in his 06 'Rex due to the poor launch; let her rest 10 minutes, then got back on and creamed everybody else lol (including a 'stang GT and Civic Si's did NOT want to run me)

too bad they had no time slip, track's only 1/8 of a mile

practice your launch and you'll be good; Here's a video to show you EXACTLY where to launch it:

Yea! I'm gonna work on it. There is another strip closer that I'm gonna hit up in a few weeks. I drove 70 mi to that one. It was really nice tho. Not worth the drive and wait. We had to wait an hour between runs.

 

Crap... a run every hour...? damn

I'll try 2 hit our Local drag-strip Morosso also next fri and get a time slip its not cool draggin without TS
