did u run that stock petey, i ran 17.3 stock in my car at lacr

 

the first time i ever ran, i had CAI and a straight through muffler. i was hittin 16.5-16.7. once i put my rims, tires, and springs i was runnin 16.1-16.3. and now that my shocks are dead, im runnin 16.5-16.7 again.

 

cai and stright through muffler running 16.5-16.7 hmmmm thats intoresting I went with all the sclc guys and with all the mods they had going i dont think anyone ran under 17.0 i think there may have been one 16.9, i really wanna see that slip, just to see 60' times and etc. Not that im saying anything bad but damn thats really low. Ive seen a stock lancer with a hella good drive drive to a 17.5 i dont think cai and muffler would knock a 1 sec off, thats alot.

um
if they are running 17s even stock there is something wrong.
at the track i saw a stock one run 16.8
thats in arizona.

 

but also depending upon the track that they ran on, the conditions are different, anywayz... i heard our cars can hit 16.8 stock by pro drivers in ideal conditions, the best i hit was 17.3 stock... i am going bak to the track this wednesday night at lacr, and I am hoping to hit less than 16.9 with a header, downpipe, hi-flow cat, and a full cat back exahust. and maybe i'll have my weapon r intake in by then

 

o yah... it also depends on the driver, i kno for a fact that i am not that great if pro's can hit 16.8 in our cars stock, but yah does anyone kno of ne driving techniques i could use on the track?

 

i had problems with my ecu piggy back...and after talking to rock and werking the ecu u again...it actually came out better then last time....running smoother and pick up is off the chart....my friend stumpy221 and I have da same mods...last nite..we flying and weaving through the highway.... havent really ran on the track yet....dun kno if i am planning...but i can say i should really really low 16

 

If there is any other NA lancers from Chicago, Illinois that wanna go to a track and run em lemme know, I really wanna get to one to see what mine will currently run in the quarter.

 

Not sure about that!!!!!!!

 

goin to the track wednesday to run at infineon raceway..not expectin too much there, this track seems to be slower for 1/4 mile times..but i'll post what i get..i wanted to wait till i got my ECU before i ran again, but it'll be 2 weeks before i have the $$ for it..

 

aight, ill try to find my old time slips from last year. ill film my runs next time i go out too and post em. if i get my header before wednesday, ill be out there this week.

 

It's entirely possible to run under 17 stock, just not at the crappy track we were at. The unfortunate part of Southern California is you have to choose between a track at low elevation with crappy traction or a better track at high elevation. Also, most of us are not experienced drag racers, giving us bad 60' times. 16.5 does seem a bit quick, as professionals could only get stock Lancers to 16.8, but it's possible. I might do some runs at Carlsbad this year, but I really prefer to keep doing what the Lancer does best... corner.

 

Hey Brian does the suspension have alot or anything to do with drag racing, my shock are blown to all hell, would that make a difference.

I ran a 16.82 last night, i didnt have a great start because i suck at launching. my second run was even worse...high 17's

try again tonight

 

Whoa i just reread this and i read it now that you ran a 16.1 with just cai and muffler you only added springs tires and wheels with dont do anything but slow you down. Now i really need to see this slip.
