Well, First off the track traction was soooooooo bad and progressively got worse…….All I can say is wow. I am very pleased with the potential and that there is soooo much left in her the way it sits once I put a tire on her.

If you look at the last 3 passes you can see the potential power that my car is putting out. It’s insane the torque this car has now. I cannot begin to think what this car would actually put down at the track with a good tire. I still have to do the TB bypass and install the UD pulley. I am very pleased right now. There is so much more in the car

One thing for sure is that I need a tire from here on out and will have to go LSD

Next is to get my GT out before the end of the track season.

Good times........in the 14's
Im hoping to go down to the strip in el paso next week to see what i run.

fitbikeco

good runs man
what tires are you on
do you heat them up
do you drive through the water box
i can help you with some tips if you want me to

Nice job! Run 3 had a very good 60' for a pegleg. After my first trip to the track with my S197, I too wanted LSD.

merlinsrealm

I am on the stock 16" wheels and tires.........

yes I am heating the tires. I am on it about 4000rpm about 5-7 seconds to get a nice burnout. There is no way with the traction issues last night I would be able to launch the car without heating the tires" Not like it mattered" LOL. The car is putting down crazy torque now. I Def needs tires now........

ya i hear that a few weeks ago it was about 40 and i had to heat my pneros up alot to get them to stick
now that i look back at that day i dont understand how i ran that time at all

rygenstormlocke

Great runs, congrats on breaking into the 14's. And with a peg leg, damn good job!

merlinsrealm

these stock tires suck as it is so that doesnt help. When I got home I saw the weather where dense fog was forming in the area so It was just a bad night altogether for traction..............

Might as well get the UD pulley and TB bypass done. Then look on what tire/wheel combo to use.

Eric

fitbikeco

just get some DRs

rygenstormlocke

The BFG's suck, but the pneros actually are pretty good. They hooked better than my Nittos.
