well i tracked my car last night. i cant launch. i tried different things but im still trying to get it down.

my best run was 13.65@112.98, but with a 2.37 60ft.

if i can get that down to maybe 2.1 or so, what kind of et differences are to be expected?? (vauge question i know)

my car is making 318whp currently and weighs about 2700 with me in it

 

i ran a 12.1 at 112 on the brakes with a 1.6 something 60foot. With that mph you should be in the mid to low 12's with some slicks.

 

I have always thought it to be true that for every tenth you take off your sixty-foot, it's worth a good two tenths in the quarter.

its not an exact calculation of course, but its a very good general assumption.

 

You need to start wearin down those radials focker...still not bad times man

 

I ran a regression analysis on about 50 of my track times that are pretty consistent. Found that .100 off of the 60 foot let to .150 off of the quarter. But again. Probably not exact. But the fact that it came close was pretty cool.

Another thing that will throw this off was the fact that my car was a stock GSR swapped hatch. Very easy to drive and very different from a boosted engine.

interesting #'s...

 

And Mr. Quickel the genius chimes in.

 

at that weight and power you should have no issue with low low 12's on BFG's at about 115-118mph

nothing i ever do or touch comes out the way it should, not just cars, so im not even gonna try for what other people do. just do well for myself.


the track sucks, ive never driven on radials(which could have been lower than 18-20psi i had them at). im still experimenting, and im sure ill find what works. im just curious as to the potential

 

try goin lower on presure to about 12-15psi. aim for 1.9-1.8 60fts

ya man, too bad i realize this after the track .
im gonna give it a shot though

 

i was always told every .1 off the bottom = .2 upstairs, but there is a point where you will have your best achievable 60' and no longer gain anymore up top from that.

i usually get about 1.65 60 foots and run a low 12.3 et. when i hit a 1.74 60' i ran a 12.65 et. so thats about a .3 or so difference by the 60 foot. with your trap speed, you should be going a lot faster... slicks make your track experience a lot moe betta!!

 

night and day

 

id say with that trap and a solid 2.2 on street tires you can get it down to a 12.9...

slicks are a whole new game.

yea man i hear that. realistically id like to get the 60fts down to a 2.2-2.0.
id be happy with high 12's. i know that on the highway i can roll even with mid to high 12 second cars, ive done it in the past

 

latest info

13.20@113.17 with a 2.26 60ft.

im confident that i can put down a 12.7-12.9 with a 1.9 to 2.0 60ft, which i think is my goal for the summer

 

good times matt. did alot of people go up to the track with you?? lol the usualy evos and subies?

 

You can crack a 1.9 60', just practice. I did a 1.96 on bald Falken Azenis's @ full pressure, just drove to the track and lined up.
