Why am i going soooo slow???? i just came back from the track and i only hit a 14.1@100mph on streets... i mean the motor is new and needs some tunning but it put down 220whp... why am i going so slow????

 

haha very funny

 

whats your 60'? Could be the driver...no offense

 

are you on street tires or slicks

 

That MPH is kinda low
That setup should net about 105 to 107 mph on slicks !!!
The times aren't as important as the MPH...

 

yea well i heard between 105 and 112mph....... and the 60ft was bad it was ;ole 2.48

 

i saw you need too practice but im just guessing...

 

?????

 

which track?? elevation at palmdale lowers your et by almost half a sec. also do your tires spin first through third gear?

Welcome to Tulsa International Speedway...the worst race track in the world. I promise you man, the track sucks. That's why your times are off so much.

 

seems like you have too much power to try and run on streets, thats for sure. with a 2.4 60ft. seems like youre just spinning the tires like none other. might want to inspect your driving technique as well. get a hold of some slicks as well.

 

Well i only droped the clutch at maybe 2k... and uhmm i only had 18psi in the tires... shurg.... you think this would make my MPH better?

 

that kind of hp should get you into the 110mph easy IF it was done right.. My customer made 206whp and ran a wopping 112mph on full radial street tires.. with a 12.9! at the same track you went to.. you got some things you need to sort out on your car.. check the compression or do a leakdown.. maybe all your exhaust valves are bent or something.. where did you dyno at btw? alot of dyno's read differently.. if it wasnt a dynojet then that actual # is not correct by industry standards..

Max-

 

sounds like the new infineon raceway over here in sonoma... might be fast for nitro national 6 second cars...but not for hondas

 

How much did that setup cost you??? that setup should easily be in the 12's on slicks. something just isn't right with the motor, you, or both...

 

what kind of car is this motor in?

 

A 92 DX hatch......

 

should be a mid 12 second car. practice launching differently. get that 60ft down to like 2.0 or 1.9. my boy pulled 1.9 60ft in his itr with street tires!!!

 

If car is gutted it should be good for high 11s easy.. need slicks and practice your lauches.. I hit 12.7 in a 94 hatch with 189whp. On 22x8x15 MT.. And that was at 3000ft..

 

you need to tune the car , tuning for your set up is a most .
you will be suprise how much of a difference it makes ....

 

No offense, But if you want to complain about how slow you are look at how it is driven at the track. Get some slicks. Shift faster and get at least 1.8-1.9 60ft and see if you times are still slow, if they are then tune the car. 2.4 60ft are not that great of 60ft and you should be at least hitting a 13.8-13.9 with that 60ft. Practice, practice, practice. Remember about 70% of the race is the 60ft, 30% is shifting, unless you do not know how to shift then it could be more. Good luck the next time you go to the track.

 

there's nothing wrong w/the motor.

there's nothing wrong with the car.

there is something wrong with the way you drive.

practice.
