I decided to go to the track the last day it was open since I haven't had a chance to run all year and I now have a new personal best time.

2.30 -60ft
9.53 -1/8 ET
76.40 -1/8 mph
14.68 -1/4 ET
94.98 -1/4 mph

mods:
stock resonator w/ cone filter
budget y-pipe
2.25" catback w/o resonator and a maxspeed muffler
sprint springs/AGX's 4/8

I'm very happy with my new time probably coulda went a .1-.2 faster if I did bog off the line. As soon as the track opens back up I'll be there hopefully running some low 14's.

 

that's a good time and has alot of potential if you bring your 60ft's down a bit. Good Job.

 

Yeah good job man. I remember some of your first runs. Practice does go a LONG way in racing a 5spd. Did you go to the Richmond track?

 

Very healthy 1/8 mile trap. Nice times

 

those are some nice times! i'm impressed at the trap speeds too... not bad at all!

 

dang fine job !

 

thanks fellas.

Aaron- I went to Richmond and they were actually treating the track with healthy amounts of VHT this time.

I had another run and it went like this:

2.23 -60'
9.61 -1/8 ET
74.38 -1/8 mph
14.79 -1/4 ET
95.12 -1/5 mph

I think I short shifted the car a little bit. still not bad. I was very happy with my first pass above especially since i hadn't run at the track almost all year.

 

That's cool. I've heard nothing but good things about the track in Richmond. It's suppose to be a fast track. Up there with EngTown, Houston, Fayetteville NC, Seattle, and FL. Keep busting those great times.

 

how the hell do you trap 95 with just i/y/e?? The best I trap is 92.8mph and that was with a 14.7xx and a 2.282. I gotta 96 se 5speed with i/y only. I ran it at etown and I heard thats a pretty good track with low elevation, something like 300ft above sea level?

I dont know about low 14's, but mids for sure. Work on the 60' or get better rubber.

Good times man. Keep up the good work.

 

Good Run....

 

Are you shifting to 4th? The reason I ask is that your car runs a lot like my car did prior to the MEVI/JWT (ie bit slow in 1st, but hauls once in 2nd). I ran a few 14.6s and a ton of 14.7s@95-96mph with an intake/y-pipe/UDP/b-pipe. Your high 2.2/low 2.3 60 foots and 9.5@76mph 1/8 is right in line with what my car did, but my car tended to get higher 95s and sometimes 96mph. If I held on to 3rd then I was in the 14.7s@94-95mph.

by low 14's i meant after I get some more stuff like maybe ECU and maybe the VI. I'm definitely going to try to get those two things over the summer. Right now I have a UDP and slightly ported throttlebody sitting here at the house. Hopefully those will go on soon enough.


yea, I shifted into 4th. I shifted 1-2 at 6500, 2-3 at ~6300 and 3-4 at ~6100. I just wish I could get a shift light that will light up at those RPMs for each gear. on the launch I rode the clutch out from ~3000 RPMs and got a 2.3 60' my second run I rode the clutch out from ~3300 rpms and got a much better 60' but I think I might've shifted a little late or something. I'm happy with my times though.
