Simple question..What do you guys launch at? And what times/60fts do you bring in. Thanks

 

7000-7200

2.1

This has been covered before though...

 

Ok, i know this has been covered before; however, my search found nothing...thats why i asked again. And what do you have done to your ITR. Im running street tires at 20psi w/ an intake and exhaust.

 

to save my clutch, i launch at 5,000 and modulate the throttle...seems to work nice

 

98cwitr, what did you run launching at 5,000? Also, what was your 60ft, and what are your mods

 

only mod i had when i went to the track was an intake...my 60 ft. was around 2.2-2.4 it varied, and my best ET was 14.8@96

 

You guys launching at 5k, 7k on street tyres?? If I was to do that I won't be going anywhere!!

 

yeah no ****...on street tires i launch at about 3-3.5k rpm...slicks i launch at 5-6krpm...i usually trap about 2.0-2.1 60' times and i am a so so driver

 

I launch at 3-4k. I could never launch at 5-7k spin all day long, even if I feather the throttle!

 

i launch at 11K rpm on bald winter blizzaks

 

So, for the most part..you guys launch at around 4-5k on street tires..and get 2.0-2.1 60ft's ? I launch at 6k and ran 14.4 on street tires w/ 20 psi

I see, sometimes the seach sucks. I have an Intake and I usually have about 17-18 psi in the front tires.

 

launching at 7 seems pretty harsh..I went to the track last night, launched at 6, and got continuous wheel hop..The tires weren't grabbing.

Well, the tire pressure was only at 20 psi..so i guess i didn't slip the clutch..Any suggestions? I should be running low 14's, and i was very upset w/ my runs last night

I would drop the pressure to like 18 and then don't enguage the clutch all of the way when you take off.. it'll enguage a little slower and once it is fully enguaged then just shift fast and make sure you stay in the power band. When my clutch enguages I'm already at 7500-8000 so I shift pretty soon. But if you aren't all the way enguaged when you shift at that speed, then you'll drop out of the powerband.

 

Thanks for the advice, and your right..i fell out of VTEC during one of the runs..I switched to second because of the massive wheel hop, and then it dropped to 4k RPM Also, it was pretty hot out last night. Maybe around 80's. I think i just need to practice a little more, but i still don't know about 7k RPM. Your car still runs fine? How many miles do you have?

 

What times are you running w/ just the intake??

 

What do you guys run launching at 3-5k?? Also, what are your 60 ft's? My best time last night was 14.677@94.31mph. 60 ft was 2.413..

Practice is key.

As for the car, it runs wonderfully; but my clutch doesn't like me - I had to replace it. Although I doubt it's from 6 or so times I've gone to the track, I generally drive the hell out of my car. I have 38,XXX miles on my car.

My best is a 14.46 @ 95.XX, with 3 14.5's to back it up.

 

7,000rpm, street tires, intake and header, 2.0 60' and many 2.1's. The end.

Many places don't allow that.

 

Nice runs socalITR. Even though my clutch is starting to wear, i'll try launching at 7,000 to see if they grip. Still seems high to me though. I just hit the 40k mark on the ITR Still running like a champ though

what about your 1/4 mile times?

No. My 13.7 was with the stock exhaust hooked up. My 14.0 with the stock exhaust manifold was open header but that was a long time ago.

Oh and what drag strip doesn't allow open header? If some tracks don't allow open header how are half of the cars even going to race (the real drag cars not us street cars)?

Shrugs:

I asked them at the gate, they said no open header... maybe that's just out in CA. Never tried in PA.
