well to start off iam from the uk
iam in the 11s and need to get in the 10s now
but its my 60ft times letting me down @2.0
iam doing 11.8 @127mph
so any help would be great!
here is my spec
500whp b16a engine on aem, gt30
micky ts 225/50/15 tires
car weighs 980kg
rear suspension up high
iam running a b18c4 think you call it the gsr, s9b box
with quaife lsd
iam thinking of getting some wrinkle walls but dont have a clue what to get and where to get them from!


any help would be great even the smallest!

thanks very much in advanced

a 25/9/13 slick would help with the 60s you should be doing atleast a 1.7 also are you lauching under boost if so how much and also what rpms are you launching at. I would also look into a b16 trans the shorter gearing should help you out. if I'm wrong please let me know but we where running 11.8s with a b16 only making 338 in a heavy 00 civic si.

 

thanks for that
iam launching around the 5500k mark
with no anti lag or lauch control
i always thought longer ratios box were better for boost? just what everyone uses in the uk.
cheers kiel

 

Be the first to go with a b16 than you will be amazed...Launch it higher also I'm launching at around 8200k building around 14lbs of boost and dont be afraid to spin tires a but in first im hitting rev limiter about 3 or 4 times before slamming second and my 60fts are 1.649 just some wheel time load you clutch and have fun it will come to ya. what gear are you ending in at 1/4 and at what rpms im at the top of 4th around 8400k at the end

 

Yes, Get some Mickey Thompson slicks 24.5 8 13 launch at 8000 and hold on tight !

get some lenso wheels to mount them on

 

i agree to get some slicks and launch higher rpms.

im in the same situation as you are, going 12.1-12.3 at around 124 mph launching exactly at 5500 on my bfg drag radial tires. you need the slicks. good luck!

 

get some m/t 24.5/13/9 with some drag launch coils.launch it hard n preload.itll help ur time n ur 60 foot.i went 10.60 at 142 mph wit 540 whp.

 

thanks for that iam in 4th and about 8200k over the line
cheers kiel

 

here is one of my passes on toyo r888

also these are not the mts
these are the toyos
i cant get the mts smoking at all or even spin them long enough to get them warm!

what psi should i be running them at?
i had the
toyo=14psi
mts=12psi

cheers kiel

 

iam looking in to getting some tires now
but iam running 15inch wheels and cant go no smaller cause of my brakes!
now when you say 24.5/9/13
does the 13 mean rim size?
also what would be the best tires to get for 15inch wheels?
thanks kiel

 

iam now at
10.5@133
1.6 60ft
ive got m/t 24.5 slicks 10psi
traction bars
and holdong revs at about 6800

any more advise would be great

 

big difference nice

 

1.6 60' is pretty good, you can still go lower on your tire pressure -- 6 psi or so is what we normally run on the MT 24.5" slick

 

Jesus that was one he'll of a burn out!

 

big difference...good improvement!!

 

thanks guys
i was thinking of trying 6psi

what type of suspension are you running. aslo what kinda tires. might want to look into boost by gear with a 2 step launch

 

m/t 24.5 slicks
d2 with heavy springs at the rear
ive got boost by gear but cant get used to it

 

I WOULD DEFFENITLY BRING YOUR PSI DOWN TO 6 OR 6.5 PLAY WITH IT A LITTLE SEE WHAT THE CAR LIKES. AND START GETTING USED TO YOUR BOOST BY GEAR IT WILL HELP YOU OUT SO MUCH. OR SHOP CAR FOR THE LONGEST TIME DIDNT HAVE IT AND WE WERE LEAVING THE LINE AT 36 PSI SPINNING THRU THIRD. NOW WE HAVE THE BOOST BY GEAR WE ARE LEAVEING AT AROUND 24 PSI PULLING 1.6 60FT AND TRAPPING AT OVER 150

 

sounds good mate thanks for the advise
well the car only weights 820kg now and it weight 1000kg when i did my 10.5 so fingers crossed that will help too
