went to the track sat ran 14.0 @99 only got one pass so i def think I could do better. My car is bone stock with nitto 555r. my 60ft was a 2.0 any tips oh yea i had 15 psi in the tires. But again like i said i only got one pass

 

very nice man, why only 1 run?

 

friggin people kept breakin like every 5th run someone would brake

 

yea, it does slow down everyting. For some reason it always happens to me when I am staged.
then I have to just sit there while they clean up some Honda motor parts.

 

I'm still new to the whole drag racing thing, so maybe some of the other guys here can back me up, or correct me.

From what I read, if tire pressure is too low it can really slow down you trap speed. I haven't run radials yet, but maybe you can start inching the pressure up and see what happens to your times. There's another good thread a few down on using DR's.

With the nittos you should pull better 60' than 2.0, people are getting that on stock tires (wish I could).

 

Run with the stock pressure, too low will drag your trap speed down.

 

Damn 15 PSI?? Thats low.. What does everybody on here recomend PSI wise for the track on stock tires???

 

I run with 36 lbs.

 

I've had good luck at 25 lbs...check my sig....

 

Great ET!, but how did you pull that off with a 2.22 60"?

 

Thanks! I do need to work on my 60's. The 2.22 was a result of dropping the clutch out at 2500 RPM's and then bogging the engine.

I am thinking I was able to keep my ET is so low because my TRAP is so high @103.91 mph. I gained something like 23 mph after the 1/8 mile marker. I just shift as fast as I can. All the runs were on stock 17's and and stock tires.

I had a 4 or 5 runs that night all in the high 103' mph, just couldn't launch for beans.

I was really looking for 13.5's before winter, but ran out of days this year.

 

slip

 

I beleived you but thanks for posting the slip. It shows where you are really coming on at the 1/8.
My best so far is a 13.903 @ 99.99. I have hit 100 trap speed and I have had problems launching too but in the above run my 60" was 2.087 That is why I was wondering.

 

Ya, no problem. Just thought it would help if you could see all the times from the run. It is a low ET with a mediocre to poor 60'. So this way you can see how the numbers pan out.

At another track about a month before this I ran a 13.79 @ 102.81. In that run my 60' was 2.1xx. So I guess I wasn't shifting as quickly up high, but got off the line better and it panned out. Now I just need to combine the two.

 

when you get it together you are going to haul azzz!
