Went to the track today :) Picture and video.
 

So like I have said before, my state isn't blessed with a 1/4 mile track. We have a 1000ft track which is longer then a 1/8 mile track but shorter then a 1/4 mile track. Anyways I put down my personal best today.

My mods...
Cobb intake
CS Midpipe
TS Boost controller/w homeade map clamp set to 17-18psi.

102 fuel
26psi in stock tires
Temp was 63 degrees

I am car 1025

1000 footer huh? that sucks they cant extend it. Nice run :bigok:

I just went a searched some time slips on the other forums and I found lalooshs time slip for his 12.9.....his 1000ft time was a 10.85. So that makes me happy to be at least low 13's :)

Up the boost and get some slicks!

my 1/8th was a 8.4 @ 87.7 and your is 8.5 @ 85.3 and yet your are actually faster than me at 1000. I went 10.858 on my 12.90....wierd. Thats a killer time for your mods if the track is legit

Somhow u were a tenth off at the 1/8th and 2 mph slower but managed to edge me to the 1000? lol makes no sense to me.

I would love to be on slicks...and I don't want to up the boost untill I get my wideband :)

I noticed that too. The track is legit...the speed chanel did a episode of "Pipes" at this track. Anyhow...i'm just happy to know I can run a low 13 pass...I wish they had your mph for your 1000ft time and we could see what happened...

your at 97 and i finished at 111, i somehow highly doubt im picking up 14mph in the last 320 feet. Something smells fishy:D

you picked up 12 mph in 340. which is alot easier at lower speeds. This either means my car is monster once it hits 5th gear or one of our tracks is off. I doubt atco raceway is off, its a nation nhra track lol

In your speedo videos your car pulls pretty freakin hard past 100...

funny you say that cuase i do all my damage in 5th. All the street races i get into, im always loosing till 5th lol then i pull 3 cars

Oh and plus I was shifting around 5800rpms, where if I recall, you were shifting higher because of the fuel pump...that could have done somthing with your mph being so much higher...ahhh I don't know...:) I'm gald I am finally getting my launch down with this car...

def one hell of a launch...you amost hit a 1.9 on street tires, thats very impressive. Stop adding mods, i dont wanna get beat:261:

Dude i'm not even on your level....I don't think you gotta worry about anything.

Although I have been needing a downpipe and a front mount :)

how far is the closest 1/4 track to you. Id be really curious to see where you land.

It is probabley going to be memphis....A few of us are going in april....

I think it would put me between a 13.1-13.3....just because of how my car just doesn't pull as hard past 100....I am really thinking that your tbe and fuel pump is what is making your car pull like it does up top....

1.9 on street tires?

Not quite a 1.9...the 2.00 felt really good :)

That's all in the track prep. The only awesome prepped track out here is Irwindale and sadly its only an 1/8th mile. that track is re-prepped every 15 runs.

I don't blame them, though. There is no point in spraying down VHT when most of the cars are using radials which cuts through the VHT. But they could at least sweep the sand

This was just a test and tune....all they did is wipe up the water from cars(water in underpanel from icing the intake manifold, ect). I'll get some more times on a saturday night event when that starts going on and see if that makes any difference.

I knew I should have went. Still recovering from this sickness. Doctors got me on the hydrocodone syrup, so my times would have stunk anyway :). Awesome time, David! I'd be proud of that one! This just goes to show what I've been saying. I need to get me a map clamp and a boost controller. What is wierd is the fact that when I ran my 11.03 last weekend, my 60' was also a 2.0, but my mph was 99. Probably had something to do with those 2 fuel cuts I had in 4th. I'll hit me a 10 as soon as I can get this POS of a car lined out, if I don't get frustrated and trade for an STI or something........... Again, big congratz! Also, on your "homemade" map clamp, did you use the how to from the other forums? I have to get this done........fuel cut SUCKS! I have to say it once more ....... CONGRADULATIONS ON THAT AWESOME TIME! Keep it up! Hopefully, I won't be too far behind ya :)

Dude if you weren't fuel cutting your times would be lower then mine. That just goes to show you how much of a gain is in the downpipe ;)

Yeah I used the how to from 24/7. We need to make a trip to memphis once you get your car lined out and see what we can do. We need some slicks...

Nice work bro, good driving!

Thats a good 60ft for stock tires!
Mind sharing your launching technique?

Don't do it David! You must take the secret to your grave!

:shhhhh:pratice:shhhh: oh shit i said it.

Seriously though, low rpm (i'd say no higher than 2300) and slip the clutch, rolling into the throttle. Almost as if you were driving on the street, like from a redlight. You don't try to burn the tires off in stop and go traffic do you? Same basic technique, just a hair more aggressive. You want the LEAST amount of wheelspin possible. Takes much prctice. Of course this is how I do it and am only assuming that David does it somewhat the same. This method nets me consistent 2.1s and occasional 2.0s. Of course I still screw up and hit a 2.3 now and again :) If you have any additional info David, please chime in. I'm kind of curious to see if your launch technique has any tricks in it I could stea.....err.....use in mine :) Hope to get my map clamp made and installed mid to late this week and possibly squeeze in a trip to the track. See if I can't hit me a 10. When is the Memphis trip again?

i dunno btw im goin gto a shitty track saturday....i want to back up my 12 and maybe even hit a 1.99:D Davids on my ass now, i gotta fight back:)

Slicks, Slicks, and Slicks.. radials are for the birds at tracks!

i cant afford to break something right now, im going on my snow tires at 20 psi lol.

ram air/fmic/tbe/pump/18psi should be intresting. I HATE this track, but the other is too far and i got shit to do at night. Well c how it goes. If i hti 12s saturday, mid 12s easy at my usual track.

Don't you disrespect my E-Town.

Since when has Chris ever been scared to break anything?

since i didnt get the job i applied for....:(

That sucks, thought you still have a job though?

sure do, this was just going to be a big jump in pay and i really though i was going to get it.

what do you do for a living loosher?

enviornmental work

So you collect dirty samples and shit?

Yeah I would never go with slicks.

not really, i shot waves into the earth and figure out where stuff is. Kinda a brief summary lol

Hmm, interesting. I got a friend out here who does Environmental work... Sytech, look it up :)

will do.

like in Jurassic park!

ehh not really, its all geophysics, im kind of a math freak.

like in Jurassic park!

Nice run. I'm personally glad you weren't at a 1/4 mile track, that would have knocked me down the list! I need to hurry up and head back out.
