Default First time to the track with my setup

Ok, guys I went to the track today. It was my first time every racing at the track not to mention the first time running my car. Track conditions were shitty. I couldn't get traction at all. For all of you that have been to Atlanta Dragway you know what I'm talking about. And my bald Kumhos weren't helping me to much either. The best 60ft i could pull was a 2.424. Well anyway here is my best run.

R/T.921
60' 2.424
330 6.390
1/8 9.642
mph 76.27
1000 12.430
1/4 14.799
mph 95.14

my setup:
96 LS stock motor Max Rev turbo kit at 6psi
T3/To4e 57trim/.63ar
NGK plugs part# NGK ZFR7-11's
Walbro 255lph
Hondata S100 with boost on the stock basemap right now
Accord V6 380cc injectors
stock LS fuel pressure
Tial 35mm
3in custom exhaust Apex N1
Bald Kumhos at 33psi
Groung Controls and KYB AGX set at 2 in front and 8 in the rear.

I guess this wasen't to bad considering my horrible 60ft, bald tires and I'm only running 6psi. Oh and my car is a sedan too . Once I get good tires, lower 60ft and the car tuned and up the boost a little bit I should be able to run in the 13's. All in all it was a good learning expirence. I've pretty much got the car figured out now, and that is what I wanted to accomplish with this trip to the track.

Did you lower you tire pressure, or try changing where you launch at?

On my LS at 7psi I was running 2.0 flat 60 foots on crappy dunlop tires at 20psi, launching around 3500rpm

Unfortuntely with a trap speed of 95mph you aren't gonna hit 13's unless you get some VERY VERY good launches. Even if you up the boost a bit and get some better 60 foots, breaking the 13's will be difficult. I ran Nitto 555r's with 2.20 60-foots and got my best of 14.5@95 all motor...so if you can break the 13's with a couple more psi and a better launch, more power to you.

my first time at the track i ran about the times/speed the first few runs, i played around with my launch and shifting and got my times down (same day) i ran low 14's consistant and a 13.7 same day. thats was with my civic/b16/t3 turbo @7psi.
I got consistant high 13 with speeds of 103mph give or take a few...
i was bogging big time just after the 60' mark, started launching at about 5krpm and improved my times.....nitto 450's...
I'm still trying to get back to the track this year...to see what i run now
You should be runing low 14's with that set-up if it's tuned properly...how does the top end pull?

yea practice launching the car of course new tires and less pressure would help..my best time so far is 15.00 at 93 mph with a 2.3 60 ft with an all moter b16...t3t4 50 trim 48 ar on the way though

Top end pulls pretty hard, I just need to work on my launches.
