i'll be heading to the track tomorrow night to get some 1/4 mile runs in...id like to know what kind of things i should check on before heading down the track...should i run with race gas? my times probably won't be great considering i have never really even tried to launch my car...but i have out run a 300zx tt, my friends NOS gsr (14.3@97), and a trans am on the interstate...im running about 6psi because im scared to go any higher...i MAY run 6.5psi tho...i have a V-AFC...what kind settings should i run in high throttle to be safe??? thanks, later.

is it a stock motor?

FAST94GSR

running 6 lbs I would think so.

check for leaks, oil level, change your spark plugs, and make sure you're running rich enough. Race fuel will help. good luck

look for all the mustangs and camaros in tne staging lanes/ try to line up beside
one/ then show-em your tailights. ENJOY

if you tuned your car on pump gas, stick to pump gas, can you even get unleaded fuel at the track? it will ruin your cat (which should be removed), just remember how to shift quickly and keep your revs up, practice even keeping your foot on the gas inbetween shifts no letting it hit the limiter and speed shifting, this will save you min. 3/4 of a second - make sure your clutch likes this abuse. do not deep stage the tree, this will give you a chance to let the car roll out its first 6inches before the time starts. if first time is reasonable go back next week with car stipped, you may pick up a tenth or two

yeah it's a stock motor with a drag gen 2 and in-line pro headgasket...clutchmaster stage 4 clutch...

rtype11

with stage 4 clutch you may find it hard to slip it out of the whole, do not drop the hammer at the start you will just run peg legged for about 20seconds, *no lsd*.

are you running colder plugs?.... that is a definite must.... use a fresh set at the track.... also try dropping your exhaust good luck... btw which track do you run at dinwiddie or rir???

B17aTrbo

im running the factory honda plugs...i usually run at dinwiddie but tonite im gonna run at richmond...do you know when dinwiddie is going to be open??? it's a much better track...somtimes i run at MIR in maryland too...you coming??? i have a set of slicks im gonna try out for maybe a run or two...

newsense

nah i cant get out there this weekend.... i blew the differential in my tranny... im waiting on a quaife so i can run at MIRWWIII..
are you plan on going to that its on the 11th... you really should run some colder plugs ... what size slicks are you running on?

B17aTrbo

yeah im going on the 11th...sunday is my day off...i don't know what size slicks they are to be honest with you...they are a friend of mine...i dunno how good they are because he's got an 87 NOS'd civic 4 door and his car doesn't run any faster with them on...they may be a little big for what we run right now...i just want to do it for fun...i may not even try them tho...im trying to bust into the 13s on my street tires but i want to run 101-103 trap speeds...i have an LS tranny and in my car 3rd will run me up until about 108 so i think it's possible since i don't have to make an extra shift...later.

it's gonna be cold tonite...should be a good nite to run!!!

Suprdave

You'll prolly hafta get your redline raised...108 in your car corelates to like high 90s in trap speed.

If your running big slicks you wont hafta worry though.

Suprdave

newsense

B17aTrbo
