JHEIII874T5M Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Nice run, getting that 60' down to a solid 2.0 could net some very interesting ET for this car... maybe drop MPH, but awesome run man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snabb T5M Posted September 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 yea, hoping after the install of the new LSD that that will help get it down.

dublin14 Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 so is a 107 mph trap!... i trapped 108 but it was like 34 degrees F... Get rid of the pegs for the strip! 108 is great for an 18T! yea, hoping after the install of the new LSD that that will help get it down. Great Numbers!

Snabb T5M Posted September 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 yea, I need to find some lighter wheels for all 4 corners. I want to race the car at the drag strip as I drive it on the street; this way I know what to expect on the street. Yea, I was pretty excited at the track when I broke 13.7; that was my goal all night. Prior best time after install of Stage 3 was 13.77, so I was pretty excited when my first run of the night was 13.72. After that the goal was to get under 13.7, but took me 8 more runs to finally do it. With a fwd its really tough to stay consistent run after run. But at least so far every time I go to the track I come away with a faster time. Get rid of the pegs for the strip! 108 is great for an 18T! Great Numbers!

Snabb T5M Posted September 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Normally I'm running 100 on the street and now that I found 110 will add that before track. Usually I have 5 gals sitting in the garage also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snabb T5M Posted September 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 During the summer months no detontation problems running 93, the 100 is just extra insurance for me. Also during the summer I runner a colder plug. This past Friday while driving normally to/from the dragstrip I got a CEL. Checked the codes and misfires in 2,3 and 4. Now that its getting cooler out, that makes sense, charge is cooler in the engine, high octane fuel, cold plugs = misfires. I swapped in a hotter plug yesterday, went for a drive similar to Friday, and no CEL. Are you having detonation problems when you run below 100 or do you just feel that it helps?

TRACStar Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Nice times, a lighter wheel will defiantly bring the times down. I run steelies at the track with horrible tires on them, and my times are close to yours with a milder setup. I ran with volans at the track one time and I lost 3-4 tenths and 5 mph. I lost all of my slips but I have pics of my 13.9 run and a 2.23 60' was 8.99 1/8@82.7 and 13.904@100 at the line. possibly due to a turbo with more of a bottom end kick but I think most likely due to the lighter wheels. Running your street shoes at the track to see what you run on the street is kind of a moot point, you will never see the same times on an unprepped street as you do at the track.

Snabb T5M Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I think getting out of first gear as quick as possible helps, and not spinning the tires unmerciful in 1st also. It was also a very cool night so that probably helped. That is a great time! Any helpful hints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

besthaticouldo Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 those are pretty solid times. good work man. maybe just get some stock wheels and some slicks and you'd bring your 60ft well under 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
