I was at E-town on saturday and had a great time. There were so many domestics there that i was feeling kinda out of place and out numbered. Once I went up onto the stands, I saw many Camaros and Mustangs, even V8 powered ones running horrible times. My confidence got better.

anyhow, my 95 GSR is set up as follows: full body, full interior, a little bit more than 3/4 tanks of gas with street tires (Dunlop SP8000's). I set my rear tire pressure to 40 psi, fronts to 22psi, stiffenend my rear shocks to the max.
I had some junk in the trunk, didnt remove spare or jack. I am running a stock GSR bottom end, stock GSR tranny ratios with upgraded LSD/Clutch and flywheel

My times were:

14.4, 14.2, 13.9, 14.0 with my worse being a 14.8.
I'll post up the time slips soon.

Anyhow, my best run was a 13.9 @ 97 MPH with a 2.22-2.24 60' time

The cars whose times I smoked that day were a 02 M3 powered Z3 convertible,
a 88-92 Mustang GT that looked real fast but he ran a 14.3, and another Mustang that had big fat slicks that ran a 14.7.

My worst run, a 14.8 was when I lined up next to a Pontiac family car that probably ran mid-15's.....
I guess I drive better when I'm the underdog.
Anyhow, I had high hopes of breaking into the 13's and was able to achieve that goal. I'm happy cuz I did it with street tires. A guy who owns a PY ITR offered me slicks but I declined them....and other people came up to me and told me to strip the interior and gut it the way I used to.

The car weighed 2580 w/o me in it with more than 3/4 tank of gas, and for all the runs, I had to guess when to shift cuz I dont have a shift lite. I revved to 9000 RPM in each gear. overall, after that test and tune session, I now know what I need to make my car run better.

I know a LSD and some supension tweaks didn't make it that fast. Whats your mod list?

 

ITR AEM cold air
Skunk 2 Manifold
DPR stage 6 headwork, 11.8 compression
Toda B's
Toda Header
Apexi catback
2.5" test-pipe
VAFC
Godspeed Toda B ECU
JUN cam gears

simple mods, the rest is in the driving. I havent drag raced in 2.5 years, maybe more....but I was surprised that I still have it in me after alll that time.

those aren't very simple mods...haah

 

Yeah, I don't even know what Toda B's are!

 

How do you get 11.8:1 with the stock bottom end?

 

mill the head or thinner head gasket

 

VTEC-MAN I'm putting a similar setup into my hatch and I hope it runs with yours, damn fine

 

Wow, M5's can run 13's and the new M3's are even faster, that M3-powered Z3 guy must not have known how to drive (the '02 M coupes and roadsters now come w/ a 315hp 3.2L I6, as well).

 

VTEC Man has a DPR StageVI head that welds the combustion chambers and whatnot. Head is milled some I'm sure, but I think it would be tough to mill enough to get to 11.81

Sweet times bud!

Toda power, hehe.

VTECMAN also forgotto mention the most important mod, "Tuned on the dyno by Greg Samaroo"

thats the hottest mod out there IMO


Greg

 

greg: you crack me up!!!!!!! HAHA

charlee: way to go bud, that's what I expected you to pull out there, good job beating on them domestics and are you going back to e-town this saturday (9th)

I constructed this post for those who are interested in a meet:

DPR Stage 6 headwork made to fit Toda cams and 11.8 compression with the sid of a mugen headgasket and combustion chamber welding

 

Oopps sorry Greg, Tuned by Samaroo Money well spent

 

Nope I wont be able to go this saturday, have a funeral service to attend and a date in the afternoon...may even have to work .....gotta save $$$ for new mods
