New Personal Best - But Disappointed!
 

Well, went to the track last night to take advantage of the cooler weather (63 Degrees but with a lot of humidity).

Made 2 runs:

(1st Run) (2nd Run)
60 - 1.758 60 - 1.828
330 - 5.184 330 - 5.331
1/8 - 7.951 1/8 - 8.101
mph - 88.23 MPH - 88.16
1000 - ??? (Slip didn't list it) 1000 - 10.460
1/4 - 12.280 1/4 - 12.423
MPH - 114.94 115.14

My best run prior to this night was made in 83 degree weather so I thought I would pic up several tenths in the 1/4 but I only picked up 1 tenth. My mph went up by 3 which is great. I looked back at my best 12.3 run and my 60's were almost identical to my new PB. (1.74)

With my mph, does it seem like I should be hitting high 11's or even lower 12's?

Thanks for your feedback. All runs were on 93 and alky (50/50) @ 26.5psi tapering to 22. < Not holding boost well with the taper. Location is Cleves Ohio with no elevation. See signature for mods.

Thanks,
Mike

I'm no expert, but 115mph traps with that 60' should have been 11s. Need someone with similar times to compare 1/8 mile runs.

Ya, you have pretty hig traps for mid-low 12's. Are you shifting quickly enough?

Well, I believe I'm shifting pretty quick but you never really know until you see how an expert does it. My 1st to second shift may be a little slower only because I get locked out of second sometimes. But, by no means is it "slow".

I have this feeling my car is not up to par through the first 3 gears but still quick none the less. When I hit 4th though, it pulls like a mule. This may explain my high traps but lower then normal times. Could be a boost issue as I know I'm hitting and holding higher boost in 4th gear. I'll take a look at my boost next time out and also concentrate a bit more on my shifting and see if that helps out.

Just looking at my times, does anyone see anything else a mis? I could get a better 60' but I'm fine with a 1.75. For 2003 Evo's when do most people shift out of second gear? I'm shifting about 58-60. I'm not sure where the rpms are and maybe that might be a issue too. I usually focus on the mph rather then the rpms. Maybe I should be looking at the rpms rather the the mph going down the track??

Thanks,

Your 1/8th time is slow, due to shifting it looks like. Try shiftin quicker from 1-2-3 and youll run your high 11s. My 1/8th my time is barely higher than your first one and im trapping like 5mph slower in the 1/8th due to crappy altitude/weather here.

Well you should keep an eye on your rpm's next time and shift at 7000-7100 with your power level. Your trap is good and your 1/8th is alittle low but I do believe your shifting could be improved alittle.

Your 60fts are holding you back.

I dont think his 60' are that bad. The 8th mile though looks to be a little down, which is probably because of your shifting speed.

^^ sorry to be off topic, but Soon2BEVO, that is a nice ass you have as your Avatar. {thumbup}

your 330' times should be 4.9s, your 1-2 shifts are rather slow or you are spinning a great deal, one of the two, get those times down and your ets will drop considerably...

If you pulled off a 1.65 60ft on each of those runs, you would have run 12.0 on both.

Yeah soon2bevo, where is the link to the full size version... :updown:

On my hard drive lol

Well, I am spinning a bit out of the hole, but that was still a 1.75. I'll work to get this down next time and there after.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I think most of my focus needs to be on my first three shifts by speeding it up a bit and also out of the hole. I'll be out again next Friday to try and improve a bit.

Thanks,
Mike

yea punk send us that pic of your woman!!!! :) :D
