im not really that experienced at the track...and was looking for some helpful advice.

i recently was down at the track, was trapping 104-106 all night on low boost, hopping like a MOTHER out of the hole, which resulted in horrible 14.xx times.

car is a 2001 gsr, tein basics, bfg g-force sport 205/55/15.

tire pressure was at around 30 psi in the front, and i was slipping the clutch...still massive wheel hop.

im going down again tomorrow night, i just need a little advice i get. from the searches ive done, its more of a "driver error" and the solution will really be based on me, the driver.

im going to be getting full-race traction bars and e.s. motor mount inserts within the next few weeks, but want to atleast pull some decent e.t.'s tomorrow night.

should i drop the psi in the front a little more? less gas upon acceleration?

tia everyone

 

try lower the tire pressure a few pounds

 

launch higher

 

hm...last time i was keeping it steady at about 3500...

what do you think would be an ideal launch rpm?

full-race kit with a gt28rs...so it spools really quick, i wanna lower my 60 ft's...but i dont know how well the tired will stay planed

 

try somewhere around 5-7k

 

why so high??

and preload.................that helped me

 

can someone clarify a bit for me? im familiar with preload with suspension, are you referring to preloading the drivetrain? like i said, im not so knowledgable with drag racing...

thanks

 

alrite...and just slip the clutch?

i was highly dissapointed last time, i know the car can lay down some nice times...

i guess its just "practice makes perfect"

any other tips?
