Here they are....it was sunny and 85 degrees today so it was not the best conditions.

Ok this post is being edited now...pictures from geocities don't seem to like it here. Here's my best run...see my sig for my mods.

R/t 0.853
60' 2.334
330' 6.427
1/8 9.769
MPH 73.39
1000 12.652
1/4 15.078
MPH 93.23

 

image doesnt work.

 

Sorry about that...it should be working now

Works 4 me. Nice r/t on 2nd run. Good time and trap on 1st run.
l8tr -- SS

 

Hey Hawk is this a 2K2 or 2K,, auto or manual ...?

 

It's all in my sig...which was probably hard to find after that gigantic pic...so here it is again...

 

OOPS !

 

I'm assuming the reason your 1/4 time is better than mine is from the launch....what is your 60' time and how were the conditions when you did the 14.8? Cause we have almost identical trap speeds...just wondering...

I couldn't get a good launch for $hit today and I have 245/45 tires that were at 25 psi. What do I need to do?

 

can't see pic. link doesn't work either...cuttin and pasting also.
can someone just post the times? thanks!

 

Best of 15.078@93.12
2.3 is a very decent 60ft time for street tires on a stick...
At which RPM do you shift ? I think shifts is what you should work on... wouldn't be the person to ask though, got automatic

 

I was shifting right at the redline...that seems to be the place to shift on the 3.0 VQ, especially with the y-pipe. Is that wrong?

 

You need to shift right before the rev limiter cuts in. This should appear around 6700-6800rpm on your tach. This should help some.

 

i believe we need to go to redline which is @ 6600rpms. try to get as close to it as possible.

hawkdog: how were u launching? i found the best way to be to reving up to 3k and then slightly slipping the clutch. where in colorado is this track? asking about altitute...pretty good time if ur high up.

 

actually, MIR is in Maryland (Maryland Internation Raceway). i guess Hawkdog isnt in Colorado right now. altitude at MIR is supposedly only about 80 ft

 

ahhhh...thanks. i'm in georgia and this one dragstrip we go to is @ 1100'. supposedly, with my 15.19 there, i should be at 14.99 at sea level. i need to go to another dragstrip...

 

My 60 Foot was 2.305 .... conditions were a Marine layer, and low 70's....not the greatest, but not too hot either...

 

he's also got a 2k2 vs ur 2k.

 

I ran this weekend too - first since I've gotten my vias fixed and put my mods back on. About 85 deg. by the time I ran; moderate humitidy (florida). Don't have the timeslip in front of me but:

60' 2.175
1/4 14.763
trap mid - 93.

Fed spec 2k 5spd; cattman y/SI/RT cat.

Oh, and 3/4 tank of gas.

 

nice 60' time!!! wish i could get that. what tire pressure were u running? and how did u launch?

 

Pilot Sports at 25 psi. Only got in two runs. Track was pretty sticky even after a few hours of racing

Launch at 4000-4500 and walk out the clutch. For the 5th gen, that is really the way to get your best 60' times. The 2.175 was my best ever.

First run was about a 2.3 60' at full inflation (I forgot to lower them). Not a good run all around but got 14.9xx
