Default went to the track on 8psi

well i got to go out to the track last night i only got one pass in cuz i waited to the last minute to get in line then they close the lanes. it wasnt a good pass but it got a decent time. had to let off in second gear since the tires broke completly loose and the car hit redline but got back in it. i thknk this car def has some 119-120 traps speeds in it i took a short vid to but no host and you cannot see the time since i was unisnt a dig camera with mpeg tech i could not zoom in at all but you can hear the tires brake lose and second and you could herar the limiter briefly well here is the timeslip for those who would like to analyze it

Not a bad time at all....work on the launch and get those 60' down and you've got very low 12's.

Traction is your enemy right now...

mjedens made an 11.70 pass with a 120 trap.

Full slicks is helping him hit that 1.5 60ft.

Get it to launch, and enjoy being in the 11s.

Congrats!

Insane trap speed, and great time, considering you lost major traction. I agree...this car can easily do low 12's or hi 11's. Damn, I need to get my car tuned for 8psi right away.

Default By My Calculations

Fluidz said it right!! I've found that every .10 decrease in your 60 ft shows a corresponding .18 decrease in the total 1/4 time. I had a 11.72 pass that had a 1.70 60 ft ( MT ET Streets-not full slicks) . By my calculation on the above slip, a 1.70 60 ft. vs your 2.11 would decrease your time by about .72 putting you in the neighborhood of 11.8. All this is conjecture but the answer is definitely in the first 60 ft. I'm working on getting the 60 ft into the mid 1.5's to 1.6 with intermittent success. PM if your interested in more discussion.

OMG, I want your trap speed soooo bad, I am jealous. So you were running 8psi when you ran? What did you dyno @ 5.5 psi? Do you run the car @ 8psi daily or just when you want to murder somebody? Sorry for all the Q's I think your power/traps are very impressive.

Won't you need a rollcage if you break into the 11's?

PPW, congrats... those are impressive numbers. With traction you'll have no problem breaking 11's. And on the highway you'll have no problems killing Vipers as it is right now =)

i use the car at 8psi daily i never did a 5.5 pull on the dyno only a 6 and i hit 365rwhp i no longer will ever use 6 will be using 8psi daily 10psi race setup. im also working at putting the alky injection in the setup to raise the boost even more. i want to see how much this motor will take before it will go with proper tunning and alcohol injection!

Yeah Nitto tires are the worst, if you want a good drag radial tire get BFG. Those are the best IMO, or full on slick of course... Nice times considering their is room for improvement, and awesome trap speed!! :THUMBS UP!:
