Tried to go fast but I failed

Last night I went out to the track to see if I could get a good run out of my car. Turn out to be a very fun night with STM and some friends. After last night I realized all of my flaws which I have to fix and hopefully and get some more progress from there. I had 3 11.2's the best 2 being:


60' 1.977
330 5.019
1/8 7.443
mph 102.36
1000 9.491
1/4 11.250
MPH 122.31


60' 1.890
330 5.031
1/8 7.472
mph 101.79
1000 9.534
1/4 11.287
MPH 123.33


I did trap 125 two times but I bounced off of the rev limiter. We also had the boost down a turn and a half from the last time I had it on the dyno. The biggest flaw I have is getting nervous when 1st starts to spin and I instantly slam it to 2nd. So I have to work on my feathering skills. Over all I had an awesome night and thanks to STM for the support and help!

I am on some Hankook ventus street tires on the stock rims. Did not drop any tire pressure either. I want to get my hands on some FD rims for slicks!

8200 sounds about right for mid 120s on stock 8 gearing.

With Evo 8 gearing and factory tire size, 235/45, 123.00mph = 7,613rpms 125.01mph = 7,737rpms

thats a pretty low MPH for 11.2 but your 1/8 mph is damn good are you letting off in the top end or something?, get that 60' down and you got yourself some 10 second slips

He said rev limit not what is he crossing the line at. I know Emery had mine set at 8000-8200 if i remember correctly when i was on stock tires and all and i was on all weather tires and stock 8 gearing.

Thanks James I'm trying! I will hit the track again soon and we will see how I trap again. Yes I let off twice because I trapped 125 bouncing off the limiter.
