went to atco last night, only got two runs in and wasnt happy with either

my first run i left traction control on, not realizing, so it ruined my burnout and my 60 foot

RT- .565
60- 2.244
1/8- 8.717 @ 85mph
1/4- 13.297 @ 106

my second run i remembered to turn T/C off, but still need to get a better burnout. i tried dumping the clutch then getting on the brakes to burnout, but i think i got on brakes to hard or something. tires def didnt get hot enough

RT .440
60- 1.9
missed third, wouldn't go into fourth, so i coasted the rest of the way
1/4- 16.867 at 85mph !

i always miss third! what the hell is wrong with me. Im buying a shifter and hoping that'll help me a little. i have to be doing something wrong theres no reason i should miss third so consistently lol.

A shifter will help but also try moving your seat up as far as you can while still being able to shift comfortably. A little cramped is ok, you want to minimize the distance your leg and arm travel while maximizing your reactions and strength.

cacimar

not bad but you should be in the 12s with those mods for sure

BolognaPony

You need tires.

I cut a 1.7 60 foot an ran a 7.9 with 1 mph faster one ET Drags with basically the same mods you have.



Wait...omg....did cacimar just admit a light bolt-on GT with a 100 shot should be in the 12s?

cacimar

12s should be no problem, but claiming you run low 12s without acutally running it is stupid kid. Should i claim my car is mid 11s high 11 second car just because of BIG Turbo ehhhhhh NO!!! IT IS NOT A 11 second car until i run that is that simple

Yeah shifter will be ordered monday. Tri-ax with FRPP **** from AM.

I need tires? no way, driver mod possibly. Im running 315 nitto D/R's that are brand new. I just cant drive. I ran 20 psi in the rear and launched at 4000k or a little higher. I need burnout advice.

When i tried the burnout i dumped the clutch and got on the brakes, but i was nervous being my first time out and that probably had a lot to do with it, i was only in a burnout for a split second. And my first run i had traction control on so there was no burnout.

Do you need a line lock to do a good burnout with a stick shift?

is there a better shifter than the steeda tri-ax i should look at?

thanks for quick replys guys!

btw driving on a drag strip feels so much faster than on the street. (also my second run, the 16 second one, i still beat the 240sx i was running against haha)

BolognaPony

id be highly suprised if you ran any better than a 1.9 60 foot on those ****tos.

Nitto drags have nothing on a good set of ET Streets or ET Drags.

I mean i run 8.60s on motor with et drags to your 8.7 on a 100 shot, that should show you the lack of traction right there.

max427

but my issue is getting a good burnout and obviously not missing a gear. Also i dont think it was lack of traction as much as leaving T/C on screwed that me up the worst. I'll hit the track again soon and hopefully get a clean run in. i should be in 12's

i could see going to ET drags if i didnt just buy nitto drag radials.

BolognaPony

woh wait, you left the TC on when spraying nitrous?

Thats a big nono.

You should still be able to get into the 12s on the nittos.

You still have factory rear gear?

Rev it up and do a nice smokey burnout until you hear your tires screech, then they are hot enough. Find the launch where you are spinning just a hair or chirping and taking off. If you are running a factory rear end and you dead hook it, goodbye axle.
