well it was my first night at the track and im not happy. first of all i couldnt hit third for anything. my best pass was a 15.0 still with a bad 2nd to third shift. i have an aem intake and mugen exaust, can i expect better slips if i drive better this week. any advice that could help id appreciate. thanks.

 

I just started racing too and i have got faster everytime i go. I have gone from a 15.4 to a 14.9 just from improved driving. All i have done to my car is AEM CAI. So expect to get better. It just takes practice.

Later

Low-D

 

First time I went with my R I did 15.0 with shitty 3000 rpm launching.
Going back this week end, stock ITR. Might slap on a set of R compound tires to see the difference.

Id like to do 14.6

 

thanks for the info, one more question for those who have good 60 fts, what do you launch at? thanks....

 

My best time stock with a 14.9 too

 

well my best 60 ft is 2.25. I dont know if that is good but i usually launch between 4k and 5k rpms. I vary it everyso often too see what happens.

 

my best time with bolt ons was 14.108@98mph. I was launching at 7600rpm on regular street tires. 60ft was 2.1

 

thanks ill just try to get there early before all the other400 cars and play around with the launch.

 

launch a bit higher (idealy around 5500-6500) for the better times... you'll ideally want to spin through your 60's but not too much further.

 

My best time was 14.878@95.8 in 40 degree weather @ 1100ft. stock minus an intake. Most of the night i was running 15.0s, 14s came right before I left. I went back a few months ago and couldnt pull better than a 15.1 in 80 degree weather, 75% hum. and bald ass tires. Just goes to show you how well tires and good weather help. My average for that nice was 15.3s :cry: btw my best ever 60ft was a 2.369 ops:
