in the 1/4 mile if u spin alot off the line, and than get off the gas and back on it how much time do u loose doing this? im talking about getting off it quick and than back on it than waiting for the tranny to kick back in and go.. let me know if u can guys

if you spin a lot off the line youre screwed either way... but you cant let off the gas and then gas it again, you will lose a lot like that... if anything gradually bring your foot off the gas

ga2000

so if i ran a 15.1 to a 15.2 spinning and than getting off it and than back on it i should be in the 14s right?

well what was your 60' time?

ga2000

it was high 2.4s and 2.5s

Holy crap. Get down to a 2.0 '60 and you easily have a mid-low 14 second car.

you say that like a 2.0 on street tires is simple

ga2000

id be happy witha 2.2 or a low 2.3 60ft. its hard to get there, i never knew an automatic is this hard to launch the right way lol.. on the street its a 14 second car.. because i dont spin alot, on the track the tires just scream which puts me into a low 15 second car.. i WANT the slip to prove im in the 14s, but the launch is hard help guys im going back to the track soon.. how do u launch your 02 and 03s? with stock tires.

learn how to launch a 6 speed and the automatic will be a joke... when i was at the track this guy with an 02 altima 3.5 came with us, and he let me run his car once and i pulled a 2.21 60' time.. first time driving the car let alone launching it. i ran a 14.754 @ 93.65 on that run, but the car didnt really seem that fast to me

ga2000

i have a spec v that has a 6spd, i know the difference from launching an auto and a stick lol.. but bro for an auto this thing isnt easy, u have to feather the gas pedal on this auto, otherwise u get way to much wheel spin, just like on a stick.. when u ran the auto altima how did u launch that car?

Get new tires if you're having that much of a problem with launching.

ga2000

if a stock 03 with those tires can run high 14s with the stock tires than an 04 can with stock tires.

True, an 02-04 auto can reach 14s easy, but you seem to be having a traction issue. New tires would help that.

i power braked but i didnt bring the revs up much at all... on the last yellow i let off the brake with my left and gave it gas with the right but i didnt just slam the gas.. when i took off i made the slightest chirp with the tires, the wheels barely spun at all

Lower the tire pressures? I recall someone mentioning they had a good day at the track with the tire pressures down to 22-24psi...

ga2000

i might lower it to about 25 front and 40 in the rear, but well see thanks for all your advice guys

ga2000

what where your tire pressure set at?

Y2KSESteve

iTrader: (22)

Pump the rear tires to max before going to the track and make psi adjustments to the front tires while you're at the track.

ga2000

ok the max in the rear is 44 from whats on the tire, so i would set it at like 40 psi.. front im thinking 25 psi, but the lower u go doesnt that hurt top end power?

Y2KSESteve

At WOT having your tires low in the front really isn't going to hurt your ¼ mile time...

ga2000

hmm i thaught it did, ok ill take your advice, whats the lowest you have gone in the front

JoesMAX

iTrader: (2)

im not sure what pressure he had it set at, i dont think he lowered it though

ga2000

i had the fronts at 28 psi and the rear at about 32....

ga2000

but isnt it a waste of time lowering stock tires at the track though? i just dont get the concept of lowing tire pressure i dont wanna hurt my top end. its a matter of like low 15s and high 14s lol
