I feel like my car is pretty damn slow. I ran with I/H/E high flow cat, short shifter, timing advanced to 18 degrees, and 15" kosei k1's mounted on drag radials. My best time was
R/T-.423
60'-2.437
1/8-9.622
1/4- 14.729
MPH-96.23

I guess I just need more practice

 

what rpm are you launching at and what psi are the radials at?

 

i thought it was impossible to get an R/T lower then .5XX
im not a drag person so please forgive my ignorance. thanks

 

actually if you practice your launching, you would have a way better reaction time... and a faster 1/4 time.. i think, so ya... practice makes perfect

 

.423 is a red light
i used to run 13.90s allday on drag radials almost stock
slip launching at 6k rpms and leaving in the 3rd redlight netted me on avg a.55 to .6 r/ts
also lots of practice

 

Englishtown altitude?
Weather conditions?
Bad launch?
Traction?
Shifting points?
Wheight?
Got tuning?

...so many factors.

 

work the launch....lower your tire psi, launch a tad higher....you can get your 60 down to at least 2.1/2.2 on streets, and obviously going by that your car is capable of low 14's

 

nice... i did 14.7 with a low 2.3 60 ft. I can't get into the 2.2's heh. I just have intake & headers.

 

I may be wrong but you can cut a .400 if there running a pro tree.

 

I was launching around 4000 and the radials were at 18 psi.

 

practice makes perfect

how about u practice some launches before next sunday.

oh yea, and next time dont let them take away your slip before you let one of your friends drive...lol

 

that's some horrible 60's. With NItto NT450's at normal pressure in my hatch, my best 60 foot was 2.38. Get that down. What is it?- like 1/10 off your 60 foot is = to 2 or 3/10' off your quarter???

 

and if you let one of your friends drive, you might get to drive thier mid 13 sec car

btw, does 116 octane shifting at the rev limitter help or hurt your time when driving a type R?

haha, must have missed the space bar on that word and you know I'm just messin with you.

 

anyone?

 

The only thing it hurts is your wallet.

 

116 octane will kill your converter if you run it to much.

 

i ran 14.8 stock at 96mph with 2.3 60ft and then added aem intake and improve my 60ft wih a 2.1 and 2.2 and ran 14.4 at 98 with stock tires at etown,,, just keep practicing your car is capable of low 14s probably high 13s,,, let me drive

 

make sure u do a good burn out and dump the clutch around 6k or 7k and hold on tight
