ok its gonna be my first time at the track first time ever racing with mt dr what should i do.
ok at the track what should my tire pressure be
around town and high way what pressure
and do i have to smoke the tires before a race.
do i have to go threw the water or is that just for slick.
any other info guys please

 

You want to drive around the box and then reverse into it ifyou can. You want a big smokeshow to get these real hot.

 

Yea i think i might go around the wet box then back into it, cause i spin em till they smoking but ****in still spin half the time.

idk what im doing wrong.

 

aahh see thats what im scared off i dont wanna be spinning off the line. the reason why i got these were so i stop spining lol

 

If you can avoid the waterbox, do. Try not to track water everywhere with the fronts. Get the rears wet, but don't spin them in the water. Pull out in the dry, and do a nice 2nd gear burnout. Plenty of smoke. You should feel them trying to bite.

WARNING! Don't come back and yell at me if you break an axle or screw something up, but when you feel the tires are hot enough, let off the brakes and roll out 5-10 feet still spinning. It's kinda hard on the drive train, but that's the best way to get them really hot IMO.

Track pressure is not a concrete number. If it's prepped well, you could get away with 17-18. If you're having trouble sticking, maybe 12-15. On the street, I've always ran 26-28.

If you pay attention to one thing I've said, remember this. You want to run AS MUCH pressure as you can get away with. Lower pressure that you need will just create extra drag, and slow you down. Your car is heavy, so the pressure is needed. Good luck, and REMEMBER TO POST YOUR TIMES IN THE TIMESLIPS STICKY!

 

i sure will thanks man im hoping to see high 12 with my mods and a 75 shot if that doesnt do it im goig with a 100shot.
what r the best axles i can get for my setup
what else can i mess up

 

lol **** one time i went almost sideways man

it was bad. im an automatic chirping 2nd gear with M/ts.

guess i didnt dry them to good that time.

 

I don't think you should have to worry about upgrading axles until you get a stall and a real slick. Those MT's and stock tranny should be awesome for what you are wanting to do.

You should see 12's easy

 

my friend betted my that with my mods i wont see 12 he said low 13 so i put 100 on it plus 50 on me and him a stock ss
i will be happy with 12.9 or so
so with these mt i dont have to worry to much about my axles.

 

You are about to have yourself $150 it sounds like. A stock SS should be no problem, and neither should 12's.

Have you sprayed the car yet? How does it feel off the line? Lot of spin?
