Default My New Personal Best at NSCRA

I still have a lot of issues to work out so the car should get a lot faster. My previous pb was a 7.5. Thanks to Turbogixxer Tuning and Straighthype media

Thanks. My best 60' before that day was a 1.79. The major difference was actually learning how to drive the car.

yea watching some of your other runs, it was clear you were shifting into 2nd too soon! Like before you even go to the tree you were shifting, hence the slower 60fts.

Good shyt!!! May's event should be REAL fun!!

Thats great!!. Im still stuck doing 7.3s and 7.1s on my heavy *** 2800 lbs Si. What have you seen working best for you or what changes from before are you doing now aside from having more experience on ur ride and getting the feel? Slipping the clutch? What psi on the slicks? Boost and rpm off the line? ~6.8 is my goal for a decent time. Thanks for ur input.

hp isn't everything

I'm aiming for the 450-500whp mark with a lot of emphasis on my short game! Aiming for mid 10's

I know. But I would like to be able to compete with the true street guys. My short track is decent and I know it needs work but I'm going to need big power in 4th gear

6.5 psi in the slicks worked best for me. We played around with the two step/antilag. We raised the rpm on the 2step and launched with 7psi on the antilag instead of 12. We started to use boost by gear and decided that 15psi in 1st worked the best for us. The little things helped out but they thing that made the biggest difference was learning how to drive the car. I still have a lot to work on as far as driving but I've improved a lot.

It's all trial an error you won't know what works for your car unless you try for yourself

Yea, im trying to get some seat time, freaking rain is killing the track. I dropped my slicks to 8.5 and havent tried lower. On the 2step I was coming on too hard. Spun 1st completely
and 2nd. Gotta put the time behind the wheel, trial and error..... anyways thanks for ur input and congrats!
