Tonight me and Chris91SE decided to head down to e-town and try our luck. I had to redeem myself after a terrible perf at 75-80 during Maxus. Ane once again i was right, there was something about the 75-80 that made me run slow. Anyways, we only got 3 runs in and they booted us out. As far as what i have, its a 99 cali spec GXE AUTO w/ CAI, Y-pipe, 50 shot. And yes i have it on mpeg, just waiting for my cousin to send it to me.

As far as what i ran, here it goes.

r/t-.742 (Im still sleeping)
60'-2.31
330-6.17
1/8-9.32
mph-77.32
1000-12.07
1/4-14.41
mph-96.49

No this wasnt a fluke. I backed this up with another 14.4 run as well. The times are almost identical. Instead the other run was at 14.43@96.64

As far as what Chris did, well he broke his new record too with his VG. I will leave that to him to post about.

BTW-They didnt post the weather conditions on the slip for some reason. It was about 7x degrees and around 50-60% humidity. It was around 80% when we first got there.

 

hmmm.. looks like i have to head to etown soon

 

nice times man. once i'm all done with this round of mods i'll have to swing down, it's a drive. udp, vb, and 100shot still to go. can't wait.

 

Lets all go on aug 25th. There should be a maxima meet and we all could race.

 

joo wanna race me???

 

I forgot to mention that i had 1/3 tank of gas and full interior. I also weigh in at 3238 w/ me. Last time i weighed in i was at 3387...wtf?

 

Nice run Synki! Time to go for the 100 shot!

 

he would be if i didn't get to matt's fuel pump first, it works good too. just installed it today.

 

The scale is broken or else you had an extra 20+ gallons of gas in your tank. That makes no sense. BTW, nice run.

 

OK here goes...

old best was a 16.82 @ ~82mph with CAI/Y-pipe

now with full exhaust added i ran a 16.61 @ 81.23 mph

I ran a 16.61 @ 81.23 mph...

60ft 2.405
330 6.894
1/8 10.618 @ 65.70
1000 13.848

car weighed in at 3308lbs with a 1/4 tank of gas...

 

PLEASE tell me that you have a 5 speed. I'm feeling VERY uncomfortable now.

 

nope

 

Oh lord.

 

im sure whatever it is you'll find out what the problem is. i still don't trust the 75-80 times...

 

But it looks like I hit the nail right on the head.. Can I call 'em or what??

Nice times buddy, 75-80 was killing me also...
I don't think that I'll hit the track in the next few weeks, wedding is right around the corner. But keep in touch and as soon as I'm able, I'll go with you. If I run the car the way I should (less fuel and letting it cool a bit) I'm sure that I'll run quicker than before.. Once again, congrats...

 

ya i was standing right next to him when you said it and damn, you did hit it right on the head. Now if i only could get down to e-town. i'm gonna go on august 25th, right??

 

Nice runs Synki and Chris ..

Hahahahahahaha Chris's VG is faster then Med's VQ
(dun worry med, i had everyone laughing at me when my knock sensor was bad, still i only ran a slow time of 15.9)

I might head down on the 25th but if that is an event day i WILL NOT drag race cuz it sux .. wayyy to busy ...

I'll try and setup a date for a saturday in late september or october to do this .. it will be coooooold then and much better times


Ant

 

Uh, I ran quite a few 16.3s. I'm still faster dude.

 

ya but you couldn't tell from you dyno.

 

man you guys are brutal...

yeah etown on the 25th...no dragging for me...

 

chris, what mods do you have? cai, y pipe, and 2k max muffler?

you are a vg or ve auto?

you are running almost the same time as me.

i have intake, hi flow cat, removed resonator, hi flow muffler, and advance timing and i ran 16.69 on my vg auto.

i would love to race you but you would probably win seeing how your time is couple mili seconds faster but man it would be a close and fun race.

 

yes, yes we are. now i want to go to e-town when i can get some runs in. when would be good for that.

 

auto...you nailed the mods except my highflow cat...

i plan on advancing the timing when i run again in the fall and see what happens. where are you located?

 

14.4 @ 96 mph.. pretty good bro.. it must be that Y pipe I sent ya :P lol j/k

Honestly, I think the MPH is a little low. You might want to strap it to a dyno and have it tuned with the NOS because you should be capable of 99-101 mph trap speeds.

 

Congrats man! Good runs. Itching to go faster now are you not? Automagics rule joo.....

 

As far as what i ran, here it goes.

r/t-.742 (Im still sleeping)
60'-2.31
330-6.17
1/8-9.32
mph-77.32
1000-12.07
1/4-14.41
mph-96.49

Thats some good times. Congrats! I was wondering how your car was coming off the line did you get wheel spin? Because I had massive wheel spin but I was running wit ha 70 shot it really killed my 60 ft time (2.4)

 

i am in oklahoma and you are from texas right? i go down to texas areas alot.

 

no we're from Jersey. That would be a loooong haul for you

 

well aug. 25th might be for someone that has to drive far like yourself. only problem is those events are usually really packed and it's still pretty hot and humid in the end of august...

night time is the best if you ever wanna make a day trip out of it. the track's open on wed. night and fri. night at 5:30 ish. One time i got 5 runs in and last night we only got 3 because it was so packed...

 

Keep your goal in mind... 13.82!!

 

Phuong-LoL. Maybe it was just teh y-pipe heheh. I have almost hit 97mph before. It was high 70's to low 80s last night. I really dont htink i can run that high of a trap speed. You can help me do the dyno. *hint* tuning *hint*

Jim W-Yes your right. That damn 75-80 track killed me. Just let me know when your ready after your wedding. Again, congrats on that. We shall see if we can pair up and im sure that would be a killer race.

BottleFed-I didnt get much tire spin at all. I got some but not alot. I dont think i even hit the NOS yet during my 60ft. I dont spray till about 3400rpms. I was running 22psi in teh front tires and 35 in teh rear.

Matt-Thanks! Too bad Steve beat me to your pump. Oh well. He needs it more then i do right now.

 

I ran a 16.312 @ 80.86 (16.357 @ 82.25 was the previous run)
in my 87SE auto with CAI, exhaust, UDP and 60mm TB. Race weight was 3355lbs with driver, 3210lb without hehe .

 

hehe...did you have runs before and after the UDP install? I was planning on adding that next and then the torque convertor. Someday my slushbox will be in the 15's damnit!

 

I ran a 16.3 with my auto VG also here in florida, I never thought I would be competing with VQ's.....

 

I must be 13.9 by end of summer dammit! And will use less then a 60 shot too. Maybe i can talk Phuong into helping me tune the damn car.

 

haha...i think you will be...it was humid and warm last night...jsut wait until the weather changes...

 

Oh i cant wait for that. Then we'll both be running so good times.


Well since im not dragging till then, i got to releash my anger on a 540i & a GSR on the highway today.

 

Damn, geuss that means I won't be running tomorrow.

 

i'm gonna try out lebanon dragway, screamingfast is right near there. i'm gonna drag, dyno up the street and chill out at his place for a while. but not until UDP and vb.

 

ya i definetly do need it worse than you do right now, way worse.
