Finally, 14's
 

All the car needed was a CAI and some cooler air :)

The track was hooking okay, my same 2700 rpm launches net me 2.29 shorts, and the high 60 degree air let me grab a mph.

2.29 short, 14.96 & 91.78

The only thing done to the car is place racing CAI and removed spare tire and jack.

And too my suprise, my MEVI was waiting for me when I got home:)

nice! :)

I think you might get a little better results with a hybrid setup, though. What was the humidity?

With MEVI can get into the low 14's...:D

Good job

Good job doug.

Could I trouble you to post your intermediate numbers too? I just want to compare numbers between my best run & yours. I know my shifts aren't fast so that's costing me time. Thx. :)

What mods did you have when you ran the time in your sig?

I have my mods listed in my sig. The most significant thing is the exhaust system which is 2.5" dia. throughout from exhaust manifold back to muffler tips. I discovered later one of my front wheels was toed-in beyond the maximum recommended. I waited too long to do my front-wheel alignment after I installed the springs/shocks. Now that my toe-in is back within spec, I should be able to get into the high 14s next Spring.

What mods do you have?

Gotcha. Just didn't know if you had them all during your run.

Times in my sig were when I first got the car. Have intake and y-pipe now, with B&G's and KYB's in the mail.

Here are the results from after the y-pipe install:

Once I get off the line I am expecting 14.5's -14.6's at 94mph

how are you guys getting good launches like that?

when i went to the track it felt so slippery compared to a normal road. the best i could do was a 2.36 60ft.
i kept burning my tires, from lauching at 750-1500 (tried different things)
im not sure if its me or the track or what...but that's pathetic.

i went with 4 other maxima's, and the best 60ft i see is a 2.359

when you guys go to the track, is it really really slippery?
there was a ton of burned rubber left from these huge domestic muscle cars running with slicks.

Were you going through the water by chance?

well the cars ahead of me were doing burnouts in the water, i tried my best to avoid it by going around. if i avoid the water all together, ill end up in the soil, which will probably mess up my traction even more, but i did go off to the side as far as the pavement would go.

nice :thumbsup:

Man, I cant wait until I can get out here sometime next year and go to the track. I am really curious what I can run. Plus by then I will have more mods :D

On street tires you need to do what you have to to avoid having water on your tires. If that means going through the grass do it (but others might get mad). Then just do a quick spin of the tires. You don't want to light them up, but just spin them really quickly to get any rocks, sand, dirt, leaves, etc off the tires. The same goes if you have to go through the water, spin them really quickly to get the water off of them, but water is ALOT more persistent than rocks/dirt/grass is. Water will stay in between the treads and trickle down onto the surface, or drip off the inside of your fenderwells, etc. Between water and dirt on the starting line, I'd chose dirt if I am on street tires.

when you go to the track, right before the line, is there like a bunch of burned rubber sitting there? cause im sure that screws up traction, i burned through first so easily it wasn't funny. even the auto's could burn through first, which isn't possible on the street. on the street i don't burn through first unless i intend to, but at the track it's hard not to.
