I am going to the track tomrrow and i need some advice and prep before going... should i do anything with the tire pressure with my tires (stock tires) Traction control on or off?? and other help and with my mods below what would my times be thank you...

 

12.7 +/- some.

I would lower my tire pressure. TCS off.

 

12.7 - 12.9assuming with the stock tires and how much you spin, and yes TCS off and lower the tire pressure....

 

With almost those exact mods (I'm running DR's though) I'm doing consistent 13.2's. I know I should be faster than that but the DA hasn't been conducive to fast times. Also, I have an MGW shifter and I'm still getting used to how notchy it is. I think I'm going to lengthen the throw to see if that helps a little. Also, I'm not going all out since I bracket race and it's not about how fast you are but how consistent you are. With street tires and yoiur first time at the track, I predict 13.6.

TCS off, adjust tire pressure to about 28 and feather the clutch.

 

The 4.10s will probably hurt more than helpsince you are on the stockers. You have a mid 12 car with that setup, even on the stock tires, if you dont blow the tires off the line. TCS off is a must for the best times. Where are you located? Don't expect anything great your first time out. Your first run will be a very humbling experience, but at the same time, will get you addicted to the track. Slip the clutch, do not drop it! You will spin all of first andprobably all of second, I ran arounda 14.6 on my very first run. No burn outs with stock tires, just give them a small spin to clean them off. Experience is the biggest factor of all. I drop my stock tire pressure to 27 psi. I'm assuming you have the adjustable D-Specs shock and struts. I usually set the front to 7 turns from full hard, and the rear about 5 turns from full hard.

 

I ran a 13.5 with just my CAI and tune. Your first runs will be sucky(kind of like sex ). It okay. I ran 14.6 my first run. Hopefully, the track is not packed and so you can get mult. runs, that the only way to get better. Make sure you don’t go into the water box, and do a little burn out to clean off the tire and to heat them up a bit. Don’t worry about you reaction time, just work on launching with out spinning the tires. The rest will take care of it self.

Have fun, my heart always races before running. It addicting.

 

+1 dont look at it as racing the other car as much as the clock. Consentrate on the launch and have some fun.
