Good #'s, any time you can improve on your previous best is a +
Wow, Hagerstown ... I used to cruise the dual highway in my 280z back in the late 80's. I thought I was hot $hit LOL!!
Oops, shouldn't date myself like that...

 

I really cant remember, i will have to ask him again. Here is a pic

alberto launches like a little girl on training wheels, i would guess he had like a 2.5 60foot. actually, one night when bert was going to launch at the track, i stood next to his car on foot. i actually hit the 60 foot then had time to turn around before he got there.....

oh yeah BTW, i have been working a lot and havent had time to go where you asked me yet, i will first thing in the morning... thanks!!!

 

^^ Funny stuff!

(I live in Hagerstown)

Wicked run Todd!

 

wow, you were crusin when i was just gettin out of elementary school... hehehe

 

to the thread starter... i don't know that much about Z, but running 12.9 air to fuel ratio? isn't that a LITTLE too lean?

 

I think he was talking about his 1/4 time.

actually on a dyno, i made the most hp NA at 12.8 to 1, there were many different runs and that was the most power i made...

 

With the time i spent on the dyno, what i have above is also where i made the most power. But that was with the Kinetix SSV. I sold it so i need more dyno time once i get a spacer or something.

Right now i am running the stock plenum and my A/F is 12.5 then 12.2 near redline. I just ran on the reflash at the track, did not bother doing a tune with the utec. I will retune once i get the newer plenum. Running a bit rich, but the car does feel strong.

13.13 was a 1.94 60ft (didnt do the brake fuse mod, so I didnt heat the slicks nearly wnough), 2nd run was a 1.86 60ft, but ran a tick slower...

 

I need to do the fuse mod aswell.

Cant wait to go back. Also, i love the fact that all my wheel hop was gone with the slicks

Those some nice times Bert, i will try my best to beat them

Cant wait to see your new turbo times, i know you and Jeremy have a friendly competition going on. I heard he can run faster than you can shift.

First off congrats on your times for your first time out on slicks... Oh and that comment about Jeremy running faster than Bert can shift..
I ran on slicks for my first time about 2 weeks ago.. I only got 3 runs in, my best 60ft was 1.96 or something close to that. After the first launch my clutch just wasn't having it. I was leaving around 4800-5000, and the clutch would just stick to the floor.. I'm going back tomorrow on street tires just to see what I can trap. Probably like 113 lol...... damnit.

 

Thanks Osix,

Now that i have the slicks my interest for drag racing as taken a 180 degree turn. I am really looking forward to going back. I have the base model Z, so when i first started drag racing i had a 1 tire fire. Since then i swapped out the rearend to a LSD. And with that came the Wheel hop, so i did not enjoy the strip as much. Now with the slicks, the wheel hop is gone. Its fun again

Before this past weekend, it was a good 6 months since my last time at the drag strip. I was a little rusty im sure. Practice Practice

You are probably about an 1 hour and 15 mins away from capital Raceway in Crofton. You should come down tomorrow at 4pm, a bunch of us will be down there... Bring your Buddies with the Supras too.

Cant wait until the day that i am back to living a normal life.

oh well, another time.. Hopefully I'll see you at the meet on Saturday. Don't have too much fun at work tonight..

 

I encountered an issue in the water box, when you attempt a burn out the revs drops no matter how much throttle is being utilized. Is this "brake fuse mod" the remedy? If so, how is it done? Thanks.

The "brake fuse mod" is the remedy. Open the drivers side kick panels and you will find the fuse box. Open the cover and find the brake light fuse. Remove it, and you can burn out however long you want.

 

Thanks for the input. Beautiful car btw. Besides the Civic, I also run a Supra in SRWD. 40R, Boost Logic trans, fun indeed.
