Well I have ran my best ever ya'll!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well to improve my turbo lag and launch, I hooked up my nitrous with only a 35shot. I hooked up my nitrous to my meth/water boost switch so as soon as the switch detects boost the nitrous turns off. Actually its less than a 35shot because the fuel jet is bigger than its supposed to be. My previous best 1/8th run was:

RT .297
60' 2.278
1/8 9.131 at 82mph
1/4 13.833 at 105.8mph

Now, my new 1/8th was:
RT .842
60' 2.112
1/8 8.62 at 82mph

Now my 1st run i ran a 8.9 because I didnt brake torque at all, then second run was the one above, and the third run i had a great burn out, bottle pressure was higher than 2nd run at 1100(trying to make up for the larger fuel jet), Then I tried power braking even more than 2nd run, but as soon as i took off i had wheel hop and spun the slicks a bit, ran a 8.8, 60' was 2.3.

It was awsome!!!! im happy lol.
Now considering my time best time with the 1/4 run. i ran a 9.1 with 13.8 and 2.2 60', now i ran a 8.6 with 2.1 60', what do you guys estimate my 1/4 to be? I estimate low 13's like 13.3 at 105mph

BTW, i have vids to post.

 

bahahahhaah, that weas UBBER tow atch you run down that Evo. The crowd went nuts, and even the announcer said " wow wait a second, wait.. wait..WAIIITT.... WOW!!!!!!" lol

 

Here is the video of my best run. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/5...490033b1ee.htm

Is my burn out too weak? After seeing the vid, I think i should be heating the slicks up a little more than that. I still gotta get used to the slicks.

 

LMAO @ the announcer!

Wow that was pretty crazy how you ran down that evo. I think you definatly need to heat the slicks up a little more. Very very nice runs man.

 

Holy f**king crap. I think thats all i can say.

 

Nice run man. YOu deff need to warm up the slicks a lot more. Smoke them till there is a lot of smoke like a good burnout.

 

Good job man

 

take off looks a lotttt better

 

Congrats on the new time. Glad to see you continue to improve and build up a good reputation for your setup.

So I see you went with a 35 shot...what happened to the 75 shot you said you were going to run at the track?

 

That's not a burnout... this is a burnout...

lol. Just teasin, but yeah you want to see some solid white smoke from a burnout, not just a couple wisps.

Congrats on the new PB. That 1/8th mile time will put you somewhere around 13.3-13.5.

 

tranny is gonna fall right out with a burnout like that

 

Why do you say that? Mine's held up fine. It's no worse on the tranny than a hard launch from the line, and you can minimize the shock load by the way you use the clutch at the start of the burnout too..

 

Thanx alot for all the props guys, I am very happy with my new times, I am back to loving my nitrous again. i cant believe how just a little 35shot can make such a difference and even spraying it for like litterly 3 seconds maybe.

I gotta practice on the burn out, although this track is not really all that great to yield good 60's, i always do .1 better in our 1/4th track. at the 1/4th track i do a MUCH better burn out. For some reason i just wouldnt spin them here, the car would just pull forward. They put the water inside this ditch on the floor they made lol, so u drive over it and fall in the ditch, then try a burn out and car comes out of the ditch right away, its crap!. only good burnouts i see are the high power cars there.

btw gtr_rider, Grey99 has been doing burn outs like that for years on his stock auto and its still alive, stop putting down the auto you sissy lol.

 

QUESTION, please tell me of this is correct:

I have a polyurethane rear mount, and the front mount is stock and blown, so when I accelerate the engine front lifts up. Now, if the front mount is blown, and engine comes up while hard acceleration, am I loosing time here? since the power being produced is being wasted by the engine lifting up instead of the power being transfered directly to the wheels. Is it possible that if I fix the front mount with a new poly one, the 60' will improve?

 

Well, look what you went and did. and on a 35-shot....

Yes, any movement of the engine or chassis on launch uses (wastes) some power. Rear end squatting - front end rising - engine wrapping up - tires hopping - they're all bad. I used those small rubber blocks to lift the car somewhat, taking slack out of the rear springs. I use wireties to keep them centered on the springs, and I just put a couple on each front Illumina spring as well. The 23" slicks and lowering suspension was making the front end too low, I think. Gotta make room for the 23.5/12/15" Hoosier slicks, you know. My car launches flat and straight. Must be the stock automatic transmission,

I always smoke up the slicks before launch. A good burnout at my tracks will pull the car out of the water box with the Ebrake pulled. Usually in a cloud of tire smoke. Great stuff. I usually wind up in second gear when the burnout is completed - the Shift_Fast_2 shifts up at 6500....

Your 1/8 ET is still a little slow - but if you get your 60' down to 2.0, that will help. I usually click a 8.4 or 8.5 in the 1/8, but the launch can really mess with the 1/8 ET.

Nail the launch and catch a 8.5 ET in the 1/8, and I guess a 13.4 at 108 MPH.

Then you're ready for a Shift_Fast_3 auto tranny shifter....

Good job, man.

P.S. - Get a jug of VHT, mix some 50-50 with methyl alcohol, brush the stuff on your slicks and let them marinate inside trash bags until next outing. You might be surprised!

 

C'mon streetz...grudge match, you and me son! Moroso in a few months!!!!! We shall see who is victorious...


BTW, that EVO driver sucks at launching, but you had a good run mang!

 

Nice. Definately do more of a burnout though. What brand of slicks are you on? M&Hs like to be really hot.

8.62 is about a 13.45 run in the case of most maximas (1.56 x eigth mile = 1/4 mile). sometimes 1.55 sometimes 1.57, mine usually work out to 1.55.

 

Yea now i know to do better burn out, but thing is evertime i did it, it would pull me right out of the waterbox. I guess i gotta try best possible to keep it close to redline. the slicks are MT 22"

 

this site has a 1/8 to 1/4 mile converter it's been pretty close evertime I used it

yeah you need a bunch more heat, just make sure you stay in the box longer, sometimes you might have to slip the tires a bit in the actual puddle itself before you roll forward to actually heat the tires, instead of just rolling through the deep part of the water box.

 

I've always done my burnout in the water rather than rolling through it, even though the track workers will often try to get you to roll through it then start your burnout. Just ignore them and do what you've got to do to get them spinning longer. Then after you get them making a good bit of smoke start letting off the E brake and pull yourself out of the water while continuing the burnout. Then do another spin of them as you head up to the stage lights, not sure if you can do that in an auto.

 

Same here. If you look at the video link I posted streetz you'll notice I'm right at the end of the concrete box, where the water is. If I started further up where all the rubber is already down the slicks just grab right away. The VQ30 doesn't have enough torque, or my back end is too light perhaps but whatever, it'll stick instead of spinning.

I don't usually spin going up to the lights though, just allow the car to pull me out of the burnout by letting the ebrake down while still spinning and then coast up to the line. (just as in the video I linked)

 

Well thanx for the burn out advice guys, I am planning on soon going to the 1/4th track again. And this time, im going for records(my own personal)! no iffs or butts. Im going to really smoke up the tires this time, and also, forget that little sissy 30shot i got now. i got's two little cute things to install, so no 1.# 60' no care!!
