4dr gsr gets torn up at San Antonio Raceway
Dead stock down to every bushing besides 24psi in the front tires. Full interior with some misc. tools/junk it in. 140k miles on engine/transmission. 175-180 comp., acceptable leak down %. I've had the car about 2 weeks. Tires are some all seasons the PO put on with about 80% tread.
SAR is notorious for being hard to hook up at, but I got destroyed.
I had 5 runs, all 16.5-16.6X at 87-88.XX mph. The car weighed in at 2835 with 1/4 tank of gas and my 170lbs in it. Not a newbie drag racer, I've ran some of the best 60's in a few of my friend's cars at this very track, and have put in a few hundred runs down at Baytown in Houston with my old turbo 300zx. Every 60' was between 2.6-2.7. I believe the main problem is my mounts are just about gone and the tires are mediocre, I can't remember them off hand.
I could probably search and find this, but since I already made a post I'll throw it in->
Best engine/transmission mounts, and best mounts that don't cause harsh vibration as I have no tuning capabilities [obviously] right now.
Best transmission fluid? I'm guessing GM syncro is up there, any prefered royal purple race brands etc.?
The car is mainly going to be used for autocrossing and probably road racing sometime next year when I have more done to it, but any other suggestions to tighten it up are appreciated like suspension bushings etc.
