please help me... went to the track on thurs only ran a 13.2 here are my mods...
HKS intake
Perrin 3"dp
HKS catback
HKS SSQV BOV
turbo xs mbc set to 20 psi
exedy twin plate clutch
grounding kit
dynoflash

i still have a straight pipe and a fuel pump to install
i figured id be running faster than what i did, at least hi 12's... any ideas as to why or was i over expecting ? my reaction time on the 12.2 was like .57 and my 60ft time was quick as hell so i dont know...let me know what you guys think...please help thanks

 

Well, list all the times on the slip...

 

13.2 or 12.2

 

WHat was your 60' time?

 

How hot was it? It's summertime and all turbo cars suffer from the warmer air. I bet a 50 degree day would net you high 12s. Also, what did you trap? That's a good indicator.

 

i will get my slip for you hold on and yes i said 13.2 not 12.2... i was thinkin 12.4 at least to 12.7...i also have a system in my trunk with a false floor which adds weight, but i ran a 13.3 with just intake and catback, it was a little cooler then but still that is ridiculous

 

.6085 reaction
1.8097 60ft
5.4429 330ft
8.4574 1/8 et
82.86 1/8 mph
11.0505 1000et
13.2296 1/4 et
103.66 1/4 mph

that is the slip from my fastest time my fastest speed was 104.63 and ran a 13.30 on that run. and yes i know summer is warmer but it was 945 at night and i sprayed the crap out of my intercooler before that run... so i dont know...i just think i still should of ran hi 12's with those mods, and i dont think that when i install the straight pipe and fuel pump that that is gonna drop 2 tenths for me...oh well, let me know what you guys think

 

maybe you're not shifting fast enough that's why your ET is a bit high, with a 3in pipe you should hit mid 12's

 

trap is LOW!!!!! That is a stock trap, you should have a 108, thats your problem right there, seriously....

 

maybe the driver is to blame? There is more the getting a low time in drag racing than putting a bunch of mods on your car and standing on the gas.

 

errrmmm whats trap speed? hehehe...

 

The speed the car is going at the very end of the 1/4 mile, in this case 103.66

 

What Are You Shifting At?

 

Not exactly how fast the car is going at the end of the track. More like how fast it travels from point A to point B, which is timed during the last 66 ft.

 

While I believe your times can improve with better shifting, I also am a new found believer in the effects of hot tempatures and turbo cars. I always knew the temp can play a big role just didn't think it could play such a big role. I went to California Speedway on Saturday to enjoy some racing, got there around 4PM and it was pretty hot, in the upper 80s and everybody and I mean EVERYBODY was running freaking slow. There was a 11 second Cobra running 12.6, a 11 second SRT-4 running 12.5, a 11 second Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo ran a 12.5. The EVOs there running during the heat, let's just say , if one cracked in the 13s it was a good time. Low to high 14s was the norm. Around 8PM it started to get much cooler, and talk about a dramatic change. Cobra 11.8, SRT-4 11.1, and the same EVOs all were runing between mid 12s to high 13s. So now I fully understand the effects of heat, and the point is the temps can effect your times dramactically, take your car out when it's cooler and see what she runs.
