Well, like I told I was on my 1st DRAG event in Hungary where a real DRAG race like in USA was. All the stuff with christmas tree, 60 feet time, 1/8 time, 1/4 time.

It was very very hot outside, we had 35 degree Celsius (95 Farenheit). The track is about 500 meters (1600 feet) above sea-level. Local guys told me that this track slightly climbs up and it is about 1 seconds slower than other tracks. I was boosting around 17 psi and uped it to 21 in 3rd and 4th for my best run. Damn car was not as quick as usual, cause I realy feelt a huge power loss due the hot air. Hot air sux and make the car feel like a stock type-R , I realy need something to bring down the intake air temp.

My 1/8 mile time: 9.5xx
My 1/4 mile time 14.0xx @ 185 kmH (115 mph)

There must be something wrong, cause last year I pulled a 14.3xx at 155 kpH (96 mph) with the JRSC at 5.5psi and 30kph differenc must be a way better time, right?! Also I droves with heavy 17inchers and 225/35/17 with my old setup.

I used 225/45/16 on 7.5x16 Volk te 37 and tried 2 runs with 185/50/15 track slicks on stock rims. With the slicks I pulled the best 1/8 mile time and lost only 0.05 seconds to my friends AWD Audi S3 with 265bhp.

There was an another AWD S3 with full MTM tuning (Germany) and dyno proven 327 bhp. Man, this car realy jumped from the start. His best time was 14.1xx.

I don't know my 60 feet time and my reaction time, it will need a few days to be online I guess.

BTW: I won my clas (2.0 - 2.5 liters) but when I compare our times with the times you pull, there is something wrong I think. I had no wheel spin at all, and my 1/8 mile time is realy good compared to an AWD Audi S3 which always jumps away from the start, I don't see improvements without DRAG slicks or radials.

Was it the hot air, was it the sligtly going up track, was it the sea-level or was it just me beeing an ***.

Some corvettes with 125 or more shots NOS and some engine mods pulled low 12 to high 13 using M/T DRAG slicks size XXXL.

PS: I'm ashame on my times with my powerful car.

115mph is ALOT of mph. u should be able to run low 12's with that.

 

1600 feet above sea level....95 degrees out...and you still had a 115mph trap. I'd be happy if I was you. The only thing keeping you from getting 12's (or elevens if it was colder and you were at a lower elevation) is traction by the looks of things.

and remember thats 12's at 1600 ft. that is FAST at sea level.

 

That track+weather sounds like a very slow track.

115mph trap speed is pretty damn fast. You'd turn a lot of heads at a track over hear.

 

Yeah, head turners are even here. But it is bad that there are only about 200 visitors at such races. There is only one race (only 1/4 mile time and speed) in Neumarkt where 500+ people are. Since F&F the people are more interessted in quarter mile racing, even when they don't know the q & a of DRAG sports. Everywhere: (Do you have NOS, do you have NOS, do you have NOS???????????????) I like when I get thumb ups at events, also from Corvettes and Porsche guys which are famous to act like pompous asses, but most of them are realy nice and cool guys.

 

We have ran 11.8's in a ls integra at 115 mph. 1.7 60foots. That high of a mph is def good for 11's. Get a set of lenso's with some 24.5's on it and you will HOOK.
