Wow Jake, an actual 1/4 time for a stock S60R that's close to the claimed stock time of 14.0.

Most S60R's that I've seen run 14.5+, nice job! The trap speed is way above the claimed stock track speed, as well.

what else would you expect from me?!

LOL but really

i have over 350+ runs down the track.. and im finaly starting to get used to this car

14.8 at 96 mph, kind of disappointing :( I only got 3 runs in and it was my first time at the track (Lebanon Valley)

brake boosting at all? What tires are you running and how was traction? I know you can get a lot better then that

60ft? Mods?

I'll +1 anyone who posts timeslips, decent videos of their runs, etc. I love a quality post :)

60 foot was around a 2.2-2.3. I feel like I should be able to get a consistent 2.2 or even 2.1 with this car.

Here are the time slips (I'm the slower of both):

Track conditions were apparently on the bad side that night due to humidity and from what I heard from the other people there (not too familiar with the track).

On my second pass, I accidentally drove through part of the burnout puddle when pulling up to the line, therefore my tires were soaked, and as soon as left the line I just spun and proceeded to for the next 400-500 feet, so that run was done.

Power mods include:

RICA Stage 2 Tune (14.7 psi/1 bar)

3" Turboback Exhaust with high flow cat

3" MAF to Turbo Inlet Intake

iPd HD CBV

iPd HD Coilpacks

FMIC with 2.25" piping

Stock 14T

I know that the power is definitely there to get better times, it's just the matter of driving the car correctly to achieve them.

Brake boosting to about 1800 RPM. I still think I wasn't giving enough instantaneous throttle while letting off the brakes. If I remember correctly, I think I spun a little bit on my third run in first gear.

Running Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 at 44 psi on all four corners.

time for something with more punch then a 16t :ph34r:

exactly :) 18T or 19T are my thoughts. your's and brandon's job this winter/spring is to find something :D

no time to go on a cooler night when u can get like 10 runs in and actually get an accurate time, i know your car and that just doesnt seem right to me

Yea I'd like to go again. Based off a few other modded LPT S60's, I should be able to at least get down to 14.5 ET or better.

Is that what you normally keep your tires at? Any chance you checked them when they were warmed up? Seems fairly high. I used to run 40psi on Falken Fk452 205/55/16 and it was harsh as fuck. Did you make any change to tire pressure for the track night? If you were having traction problems, I'd try lowering them a bit. But it sounds like you were suffering more from bogging than anything else.

Yep, I know people always say that's a high pressure to run at. However I like the firm ride and added steering response with the higher pressure. I had a feeling I should have dropped the pressure down to the high 30's before hitting the track, but I wanted to see how they did at this pressure. My guess is they only went up another 1-2 psi from driving.

And like you said, I truly feel that it was more of a launching/bogging issue resulting in my times.

I'd drop the pressure down to mid to high 20s if I way you.
