went to the track yesterday and only got in two runs so i didnt really have time to dial in my 60's. anyway both times my mph was 114 on 15" tires w/ a 300hp 2400lb w/ driver turbo car... what should i be looking for with drag radials, then slicks?

yesterday i was on azenis and the first time i launched too high and they spun, second time i launched too low and i bogged. 60's were 2.4 (13.4) then 2.36 (13.2)

You're leaving out the most important part of the equation... TURBO OR N/A?

Slicks vs. street tires also play a part in it.

With 114mph, expect anywhere from 11.7 in a N/A car, to about a 12.50 in a boosted car..

 

o sorry, turbo

 

114 will easily get you into the 11's on slicks in a turbo car

 

your mph will drop if you hook hard though

i disagree. with a street coupe, weighting probably 2600-2700 with full interior and driver, 300 to the wheels probably would not run an 11 at all. it "could" happen, but not "easily". i would expect low 12's. 12.00 - 12.30's depending on driver, slicks, track, clutch, tranny, etc.....too many variables.

 

car wieghs ~2400 with me in it

 

ok, maybe i didnt read into it enough, maybe 114 wont "Easily get u into 11's", but i think if u drop another 50 pounds and drive yer *** off, you can crack 11's, i.e. 11.9's

 

If its any help I went 12.13@114.9 with my old set up(b16 dp nos).
1.84 60ft
7.8? 1/8
92.? 1/8 mph
22x8x13 slick

You might need to turn it up a little for those 11 sec time slips, A high 1.6 low 1.7 60ft might get you in there but wont be easy with a 2400lbs car. Good luck

 

Cut a mid 1.7 60 ft, and you got yourself an 11.90 time slip w/ no problem....

 

I ran 11.99 @ 112MPH with slicks and a turbo car weighing in at 2470. You just have to drive the **** out of the car!

 

is this on the turbo i sold you a couple of months ago?

Driving ability and track attendance have nothing to do with each other, Etown is a great track, and is prepped better then just about any regular track on regular TnT nites..

if you can show me anyother place to practice my launch on slicks, legally, i'd probably be there.

 

someone should open just like a 60' track to practice lauches... bc thats the most important thing.
