Hey guys, i wanted to end my drag racing season with a best ET. You guys have any special ideas to assure a good end to a racing season, this excludes of course the obvious normal factors, such as race tires, gutting, and driving well. The only thing i have thought of so far is pretty normal, i'm gonna run M&H dot's (thanks John ), take out all the seats, go with a low tank. Share your good ideas.

 

race it like you stole it its the end of the year - if anything breaks u got all winter to fix it

 

Haha, yeah. Thats definitely on the checklist.

i would at least get a set of slicks if your looking for your best et

 

well i mean my best ET for this season, all my other run were on all season daily tires, so the M&H will definitely help me there. I mean stuff like ice on the intake mani, headlight removal, there might be things i cannot think of so thats what i trying to figure out here.

 

drive it like you stole it and race the ****** **** out of it

I trying to think of stuff to improve my traps, i'll running with no air flter, that has helped me a tad before, ice on the intake mani,stuff like that. I can think of any other weight to take out, i want my dash and carpet to stay in.

 

keep the throttle planted if u dont already

 

Get a Trans that doesnt grind and some Slicks...

 

run 40psi in your rear tires..that should help a little for higher traps.......how about a rear diffuser as well or bumper wholes of some kind

Lol, sounds like you remember my tranny, haha. I'll stick with the grinder for now.

 

race gas

What for? In and of itself, it won't make him faster.

 

I'm not sure what your car is, motor or turbo, but don't use limit straps in my opinion. When running the intake pipe threw the headlight make it as long as possible, should pick you up some horse P. Any seams between fender panels and holes in the bumper tape flush. If the car has never been tuned, then pay the few bucks to do it, makes all the diff in the world even on the stock motor. Raise the rear. Don't be afraid of playing with tire pressure or launch rpm. dont let off the gas when u shift, ( make sure you shift fast though). Anticipate your shifts. Good luck too you.

 

Thanks for the ideas, i am all motor by the way, tuned 202whp.

 

put a 200 shot of nos. might not have a motor left but you will defently trap higher and have a better time.
