i went to to my local track yesterday its 1/8 mile (shitty track)

I got 4 runs the best run was:

9.3 @ 81mph i dont remember by 60 ft

i wanna atleast get into the 8's im pissed

this dude i went with ran a 9.4 with a vr6 he just has a intake chip and exhuast.

this was also my first time at the 1/8 mile track. What can i do to improve my times i was only boosting about 7 psi.

 

uummm turn up the boost

 

lol. instead of that. I know that one

 

81 mph in the 1/8th is pretty quick-9.3 isn't though.. did you have traction issues? what was your tire pressure at? curious

 

what 1/4 would that be?

prob low low 14

 

thats decent time have you tried drs...

 

81 mph trap in the 1/8th mile shows that you have the power. Just work on shifting fast and getting off the line as fast as possible. Drive it like you stole it and you're being chased by the cops .

 

yeah if you knew your 60' times that would help. I usually run around a 15 flat @ ~93 w/ 2.3-2.4 60' in the 1/4, and my 1/8 is usually 9.7 @ ~73, so 81 mph in the 1/8 is definitely good.

 

what was your 60' ?

 

my tire pressure was about 38 psi in 17's maybe i need to get some 15's and run with them instead

This explains the problem. First off 38psi in the front tires is awful for racing. You should be in the area of 20-25 on street tires. Also, get some 15's if your into racing and want your times to drop. I say if you get some 15's and drop the psi in the front then you should be able to land 8's in the 1/8 and some 13 sec. timeslips in the 1/4. Keep us up to date. Your trap speed definately shows your car has a ton of potential. What was your 60ft time?

 

I ran an 8.8 @ 82 in 95 degree heat, my setup was b20 vtec, gsr tranny in a dc2 . I made 226/189 6.5 psi. My run was on nitto drags, your mph is good seems like you just need to hook up. Get 2" 15' wheels w/drag radials and mount those when you go to the track. You mph is good for 8's though

Btw your #'s seem low(212), but then again it is the greddy kit Have you considered gettign something bigger that will produce more power? Drag/Revhard kits generally make 250-270 range on 7 psi
