I also have a question, does the clock start running when the light turns green, or when you cross the line?

 

when u cross the line! reaction time has nothing to do with ur e/t in the 1/4 mile only when u r bracket racing will it matter!!! u can sit there for 10sec and then go and u will sitll run the same time as u would if u went on the 3rd yellow!

will

 

once you move.

You could sit there for half an hour, and leave and still do a 9 second pass. Of course, you'd have a HORRIBLE RT.

RT is the only thing that goes while you are at the line and don't move.


Good runs, get those RTs down and those 60' with them and you should have a quick car!

i'm still trying to get a higher trap than 93mph (some say it's a high 14sec car)...?

 

Gotta work on getting my launches consistent and finding the "sweet" spot.

 

For all those guys who have stick out there...what is the best method..I had my first run today as well and I thought I ran fairly well my time is below with a reaction time of .7 ( i forget the rest of the info,,the slips are out in my car) but I don't really know how the best way to race a stick is..can anyone help me my biggest problem is clealy the start any suggestions please

 

Stop whoring my thread

 

Hey greg How about I'll actually be seeing the ****** when I go to the strip club.. oh yeah thats right your still gonna be 17

 

Who's car was faster?!?! Eat that.

 

by 1/20 of a second, you know when i get better at driving stick i'll sweep your *** with my car and when i get my ypipe and exaust well you'll be smelling my exaust

 

 

sounds like u guy's had fun.. sucks that i couldn't make it.. but theres always next time..

 

You have a slowtomagic also??

Cool
Roger

 

well..my best reaction time was .43.
i normally rev up the motor to about 1,400-1,500rpm and dump the clutch..any higher than this, i'd smoke my tires too badly..any lower..well..u'd stall..
my best run so far is a 15.1 run with intake and y-pipe..and a horrible horrible launch(this time, i dropped my clutch at almost 2k rpm)...

 

pretty good times

manually shifting the auto is good

 

with the ypipe and the exaust do you think I could get into the 14's??

 

yes, probably

 

Nice times for a first timer.

 

was this on a pro-tree? sportsman tree will have you redlighted with a .430.

.500 is perfect for Sportsman (individual ambers)
.400 is perfect for Pro-Tree (all three ambers, then green).

 

Have any of you guys dynod your cars to see where you were at stock and then later to find out what your mods did for you? Thanks.

 

I want to dyno after I can get my car into the 14s.. I have the stillen high flow now but i don't know what to get next..What do u guys think should be my next mod a new exaust and what type or the y pipe or something else that is a better bang??

 

y-pipe

 

I would think that a Y-pipe would help you a lot, and even though I have one on my car, do you guys have to worry about emission testing, or clearance of speed bumps!? Just something to think about, these are issues that I am dealing with right now. I am actually going to put my stock springs back on to lift my car back up 1.5-inches so I don't scrape my $1500 exhaust system over any more tall speed bumps!

Please note I drive a Camaro though, so clearance is probably more of an issue for me.
