edwin, use this link to get an idea... http://www.modulardepot.com/density.php

 

That's the reason ... drop the tires pressure to 20-25psi. And then get some sort of LSD dude. It'll help for traction. Mine obviously, has one from the factory.

And next time I'll say "stock engine" to appease you.



I love how my buddy Memed (mojo powered) add DRs to a car that has test pipes and a cone filter and runs a 13.34 and everyone seems to call that stock, but my car has a clutch, and REAL street tires, which are heavier than the stock tires on wheels that are heavier than stock, and my car isn't stock anymore. :-/

Sorry if this sounds like a rant, but stock seems to be a relative term. People talk stock block in F/I forums all the time, and that can mean a million things.
My car is, for most purposes, stock. It has no power adders of any sort (not even a k&n panel filter, nothing) and it does have a better clutch because I had the option at the dealer to have it replaced with any clutch of my choosing when they did my transmission replacement under warranty. The wheels are a result of an accident with a dear and a guardrail, that trashed 2 of my RAYS track wheels. So I got the wheels and tires I thought would LOOK better on the car. Otherwise, besides a stereo and some minor visual stuff, I left the car stock engined, because I plan on going TT in a month or so.

And you bet your *** I'll be hunting for low 12s/high 11s with a simple GReddy Kit and exhaust on street tires and a walbro on "stock" boost. 5.5psi.

 

Sorry if you took offense to me not considering you stock. I was not trying to take anything away from your moral victory. I complimented your driving and asked several questions which you did not answer.

Good luck on those 11's.

 

Sorry for being pissed, late long nights at work with rude people will turn someone rude pretty quick. I was on a short fuse last night.

Not sure on the altitude. You might be able to find out on thier website, racewaypark.com I'm not too concerned tho. I know it's at least at sea level or above. Gas was 93 octane from Wawa .... had about a 1/2 tank when I ran. Weather was hot, pretty annoyingly hot haha. 90 degrees. Actually I think it was 91 on the first run and by the second run it was probably 88ish (sun was going down by then)

 

Your tires are the most un-stock thing about your car for sure. It is very hard to get a 2.0 60' at Englishtown. I also think the clutch might be helping you more than you'd think.

I dropped my tire pressure to 19-20psi last time I went, tried different shift points and could do no better than 2.20.

Englishtown is usually not a well prepped track and it's a shame because it is such a nice venue.

I've been racing there for 6 years. Someone mentioned how Atco is faster, and I agree. I always always ran faster at Atco when I had my old Civic Si. That damn track has traction to spare. I've yet to take the Z there, but I can almsot guarantee 13s if I go during the spring or fall. You should try it too.

 

I had a turbo civic a while back. I've been at both E-town and Atco, as well as Maple Grove, MIR, Cecil county, and Island dragway. I like E-town usually the best. And my times for some reason are usually better there. Not sure why. *Shrug*.

 

E-Town is just a really quick track. Its at 0 altitude if I'm not mistaken, and its faster times can even be seen all the way up to the pro level!

 

I don't think it's that fast of a track. I've always ran some of my slowest times there.

It's just an average sea level track. Seriously, the prep is not that great there and in the summer it gets hot as hell and you see a lot of slow times.

Here are a list of cars I see frequently run at Englishtown

Cars like E46 m3s run like 14.0@100 there.
Stock GTO run about the same for the most part
350z/G35 are usually in the mid to low 14s and rarely trap above 100mph


There are way faster track on the East coast, that's for damn sure.

I think Cecil County and Atco are among the fastest on the East coast.
