last week i pulled a 101 mph trap speed in my Ls turbo hatch on 555r's @ 14.5 sec (forgot the exact time) on 8 psi.. this was also on a bad slippin clutch..

next time around, i'm plannin on goin w/ a ACT clutch and 10psi and maybe even open exhaust.. hopin for at least low 13's... but how realistic am i at dipping into the high 12's with my setup...

I've got all the above and the following:
RC 440's, hondata 2B, walbro, fpr, 3" exhaust, intercooled t3t4 turbo..

 

seems like 105ish should be the par... what was the temp/elevation at the track..

I pulled a 97mph with the R.

-who would like to b00st...

 

track elevation approx. 800ft, in MIchigan.. temps were in the 60's, but all my runs were done after my car had a good cool down. remember, i had about 40-50 mins between runs.. tons of people there, bout 260 cars there that day.. i was #202..

 

14.x's is kinda low for 100+traps...

maybe with a better clutch and some sticky tires low 13's?

 

yep,, ACT clutch is coming, but dont exactly know when... as for the 555R's, dont know how good they are compared to other drag tires, but they're sure better than street tires... my friend took vids of my launches and i noticed some wheel spin at the line.. perhaps its due to my crappy burnout.. didn't get the tires hot enough... well i'll try again next time when the new clutch is in.. no point on goin back to run similar times or even worser times w/ the shitty dying clutch..

 

the nittos grip great if you get them hot enough. im talking big burnout here. nitto states that optimum operating temps for the 555r's are above 100F. you will need to smoke the tires for a bit, and if you dont have an LSD you should get one. and soon.

 

I am pretty sure the clutch will put you in the 13's. There is gonna be huge difference between stock and aftermarket. You'll love it.

drive safe,

Just don't blow it up dude!
