Another N/A auto in the 14's
Another N/A auto in the 14's
Went to the track to day and was very happy with the results!!
Times went like this:
1) 15.0462 @ 91.25, 2.3350 60ft
2) 15.0282 @ 91.03, 2.2951 60ft
3) 14.9442 @ 91.59, 2.2848 60ft
4) 14.9937 @ 91.57, 2.3005 60ft
5) 14.9690 @ 91.00, 2.3064 60ft
6) 14.9604 @ 90.83, 2.2828 60ft
It was around 40 degrees outside with a pretty hard head wind out of the north. I changed from a Ractice intake with heat shield to a JWT intake in a hybrid set-up. I'm using the PR CAI piping to bring cooler air from the foglight hole up to the hole in the end of the JWT filter. I took the filter out of the Ractive set-up and put just the heat shield down in the foglight, facing out of the hole to "scoop" the air and help it up the the filter.
It feels great to finally get into the 14's. I've spent almost an entire year running 15.01's-15.05's. I was running on my 17" Enkei RS6's with 215/40/17 Falkens. I've got a set of B/F Goodrich Comp T/A drag Radials but the last time I tried them I ran horrible. They're about 4-5 lbs. heavier (a piece) than my 17" set-up, so until I get some lighter rims to mount them on I'm not going to use them. I'm trying to decide on my next "big" purchase. Either a high stall T/C or the NX kit. Either way, the D/R will be needed then.

get a high stall T/C and if you don't have one get a transmission cooler as well.

Congrats Travis...I knew you could do it, just a matter of time. It definately feels great when you first do it. Maybe some of these 5 speeds guys will learn to look out for at least some of us now. btw, I noticed you mph didn't increase much with the VIM...any thoughts on that? Did your 1/8th mile mph increase at all? Your dyno is very high for an auto, so you have the power there, but it just seems odd? Didn't you say one time that you thought your ECU was pulling timing or something? Once again, congrats!

Cause that is "ONE" of my excuses for the last time I went to the track!

Hell yeah!!! Way to go Travis. I'm hoping the weather will hold out for racing next Sunday. What's the temp cut off at Mo/Kan? I really want to see how my car will run down there compared to KCIR.

I'll have to dig up some old slips and see if my 1/8 increased and by how much. As far as the timing goes, I've been having to put 93 octane + octane booster in my car to keep it from knocking. I'm in the process of running a can of BG44K through it to see if carbon build-up is the culprit. So far, so good. It hasn't been knocking that I can tell and my base timing has been staying at 15 on my Techtom. I hope that's all it is.

It frustrates the hell out me. Dave
I noticed something wierd.
Usually after a day at the track, my passenger door has rubber all over the bottom half of it from burnouts. This time, the passenger door was clean and the driver door has rubber all over the bottom of it. Anyone know why this would happen?
