Default 1st Time on SLICKS!!

http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p...t=100_1229.flv


1.79 60 ft
4.82 330 ft
7.24 1/8th @ 101.95MPH
11.1 1/4 @ 128.21MPH

can someone analyse my slip and tell me about my shifting?

I was very happy with the results.

tried to lower my tire press to 7.5 psi and snapped my NAPA axle.

if I get the 60' in 1.6 would it be possible to hit a 10.9?

learn to preload correctly and you won't break axles.

I suck at preloading.
I guess it's time to learn.

Yeah preload and run stock axles with no problems, get more power out the hole and maybe up you launch rpm. Def a 10 second car.

nice time especially for your first time on slicks. You ran the same time i did but my mph was 132 in my 92 Sentra SE-R. I was running on 7 year old 24.5X7X13 m/ts that were literally bald and down to the threads on the surface. The benifit i saw from running those over my other new 22X8X15 m/ts was the longer gearing by far. I crossed in 4th instead of having to shift to 5th. Only bad part was i was getting better traction with the 22" ones because they were new and grippy.

Me and a buddy are gonna pitch in for some new 24.5X9X13 and try setting them to a bit lower psi. probably 9 psi or so.

Definitely preload. Im still running factory Nissan oem axles and have never broken one ever. Preloading is definetly key and will keep the slicks from just breaking lose due to the quick snap of the drivetrain not to mention you wont break anything.

Good luck next time out.

why couldnt you, all you are doing is holding the ebrake up and letting the clutch out, obviously a stock clutch is not a good clutch to heat up in this manner though.
