I went back to Englishtown last night to redeem myself from a slew of 14.1-14.4's 2 weeks ago. I put 275/40/17 BFG DR's on a set of stock 17"s(thanks Sam). My first 2 runs i got 13.8's at 101.8 with 2.1 60's. The 3rd run I cracked a 13.6 with a 1.9 60' at 101.8.
The last run my clutch stuck to the floor, and ran a 17 or something like that. I was pissed because I new what I had to do to get better, but my car was in severe disagreement. Oh well

 

you have the time slips?

 

Run #3

R/T .400
60' 1.995
330' 5.727
1/8 8.821
MPH 79.94
1000' 11.451
1/4 13.674
MPH 101.8

I have the slips, but I lost my usb wire for my camera so I cant do anything as far as posting them.

 

you're obviously not stock, what mods do you have?

 

what mods do you have? people claim that "if you have a short ram instead or a cold air" you will get alot better times

 

my clutch sticks to the floor when i do a nice launch too ><. I heard steel braided clutch lines and high temp clutch fluid is whats needed to fix that prorblem

 

Good driving. Do you think that the car can do 13.57 as is?

 

I have an Invidia exhaust and a injen cold air. I have headers to put in, but I'm waiting to get some resonated test pipes to do the whole job in one swoop.
The first run I spun the tires a little and got a 2.1 60. The second run I pulled the brake light fuse and cooked them. 2.1 60 again. third run I spun them a little in the box(no water), dumped it at about 4500, spun for a little, hopped, and ground second. I didnt lift to shift 2-3 and 3-4.
I do think I could have got a better time, but we'll see. To throw out an exact number like 13.57, well thats just taking bracket racing to a whole new level

As far as the clutch sticking to the floor. I have done back to back comparisons on the street and (I think)figured this out. If the car is being reved and dumped, it doesnt like that. If I hold the throttle steady and drop it it, it never sticks. Either way, its no fun cooking the clutch like that.

 

nice driving, try taking the injen out and putting back the stock box with a KnN for fun next time you go... it helped me for sure!!

 

Must be nice running with a low D.A. Here in Vegas, it's usually 5000' +.

 

which invidia exhaust? the g200 or n1?

 

I'm going to try the intake swap next week.
The exhaust is the N1...

 

Congrats...car has more in it at that 60ft.

 

oh yeah.. it definitely has more..

try also a bit lower tire pressure, you should do better 60fts

my time in the sig was with 1.92 60fts, jwt intake and test pipes only. A bit more practice with tire pressure experiment and you'll drop easily another .2-.3 in my opinion.

 

Things look good --- heat soak at the strip sucks and the stock box will most likely be better --- 13.5 or better!

Anyone dyno with just testpipes changed out? Open header runs?

 

+1 Also, sell your exhaust and intake and get a utec. Thats what I did, I kept my stillen tp's and put a K&N drop in filter. I might look into a Y-pipe but just with those changes I felt a big difference. I your big money then just get a utec and have fun.
