RPW and I went to E-Town last night, and I found out one thing: I SUCK at lauching! All three runs last night I had massive wheelspin and didn't go anywhere, resulting in blazingly fast 2.3 - 2.6 60' foot times!

I suspect the brand of tires resulting in my poor traction. I am running 205/50 Pirelli P700z's on my stock rims, I dropped the fronts to 22psi and raised the rears to 55psi. I set the front AGX's to 1 and the rears at 8. I also removed the spare tire and jack.

Heres my first and best run of the night:

R/T .529
60' 2.382
330 6.424
1/8 9.828
MPH 72.22
1000 12.764
1/4 15.262
MPH 90.00

So I ran a 15.2 @ 90 with almost a 2.4 60' foot. That pretty much shows what the CAR is capable of

, but of what the DRIVER is not

Well at least I beat a IROC Camaro that run which ran a 15.9 BTW

My second run and third run, I had a 2.52 60' foot (NASTY!) and ran a 15.473 @ 89.77, then my third and worse run I had a 2.669 60' foot and ran a wonderful 15.661 @ 90.03. At least I beat the S-10 extreme I was up against, though.

I did run a 15.15 @ 90.12 back a couple months at the SE-R Northeast dyno-day at Englishtown though. I have since added a cat-back exhaust and I couldn't beat my previous time.

Damn the luck.....

Oh and I might as well mention it now before he starts bragging, RPW ran a 15.0 @ 89 or something with his car.

Brag....I don't need to brag. Everybody knows i'm a better driver then you!!! J/K

my best:
60' 2.351
330 6.343
1/8 9.711
mph 72.77
1000 12.627
1/4 15.098
mph 90.68

It was an OK run...but I, like Jordan, have to work on the launch...a little too much wheelspin resulted in a 2.3 60' which sucks! Im happy though that with the wheelspin came no wheelhop, those motor mounts really do what their sposed to. My other 2 runs REALLY SUCKED. I got a [email protected] and a [email protected] In the second run I sat at the line and was dazed for some reason, so I ****ed up the launch cuz I was in a hurry to get goin. In my third run, I just luanched too high, and hit the rev-limiter in 2nd gear. This Friday will be my last drag session before I go to the army, so I will kill myself if I don't hit 14s!!!

LOL.....I think I need a tuneup.

My car has 71,000 miles, and NOTHING has ever been replaced. I'm thinking along the lines of:

1. New spark plugs
2. New spark plug wires
3. New fuel filter
4. New distr. cap and rotor
5. New PCV valve
6. Clean the TB

Hmm anything else?

 

[Guest]

flush radiator and transmission.

maybe a new clutch.

 

[Limited Slip]

changing those would yield better mileage, right? mine sucks. its about ~ 22-26 mixed

You need a computer bad STROM! I think you would see your times drop quite a bit. I am wondering why your mph is so low though? Maybe it is the tuneup? Is that your high mph so far? I am gonna post my most recent timeslip when I get home, cause I just went to the track recently.

JWT is supposed to come out with an ECU for the 98-99's next year. But I'll believe it when I see it. Until then, 7100rpms limit

BTW, your right I DO need a new clutch. This one will probably start to slip in the next few months as I can't even chirp it into 2nd anymore.

 

[dougnosser]

I don't know why you guys don't do the 98-99 conversion and just install the 97 computer. My car runs fine and have had it in since august. There is a check engine light though. Other than that, It runs hard!

J/K! I bet I can't do any better, until next summer when I peice together my ghetto FMAX kit....... MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

 

[dougnosser]

Ok, here is the timeslips:

r/t...705
60'...2.545
330...6.709
1/8...9.826
mph...74.98
1000..12.448
1/4...15.049
mph...94.57

Run #2 I missed the 2-3 shift

r/t...669
60'...2.451
330...6.579
1/8...9.909
mph...74.33
1000..12.767
1/4...15.157
mph...94.11

That's all folks!

 

[Lyn Labahn]

Those are some nice trap speeds doug! I bet the C1's help out a lot. Does that mad rev limiter on the ECU help you in dragging at all?

 

[Soupaflie]

Damn, can't wait til I get some cams. I am running 91mph at 15.3 with 2.6 60' times. I suck at driving but the local yocal track sucks worse. The dude taking money only has three fingers on his right hand, and not many more teeth.

Thanks Lyn. My high MPH is acutally in the low 95mph range. The revlimiter helps out cause I hold her just past 8000-8300 in first gear, then ususally shift at about 7200-7500 after that.

OMG! My dist rotor was a mess at 27000 mi. I can't imagine how bad yours is.

 

[dougnosser]

Mine too! I've got 68,000 and have changed it twice already.

I'm sure mines ****ed up then. Almost 72,000 miles on the car. Original spark plugs, fuel filter, pcv valve.....etc......

I am a bit confused. Clark usually refuses to up the rev limiter beyond 7800 rpm. How did you convince him to get your rev limiter at 8300 rpm? He programed mine at 7800 rpm.

Maybe the tach is a touch off. I have the upped 7700 limit, but my bounces physically at about 8300......???

You're right, there was a big discussion about this in the Kill Stories section. I think his tach is off. Theres no way it goes that high.
