Well I went to the track today hoping to break into the 13s. the track conditions were 40 degrees and 85% humidity. In other words the track was REALLY cold...and therfore traction sucked BAD.
I started out the night with a 2.307 60 foot and ran a NOS'd 14.264@98.12mph....
at first I was very disappointed
Then one the second run...I heated my tires up pretty good...and BOGGED out of the hole BAD and still ran a 14.278@97.51mph.
I was like...ok now I know that heating up the tires helps out of the hole...and I modified my shift points....and on my third run of the night on only a 50 shot with a 2.217 60 foot I ran my best time of the night of 14.048@98mph

By this point I was DETERMINED to break into the 13s....which I never actually did.

Anyway....Josh (MaxDriver847) ran a best time of 15.5@89mph....which is 6 tenths SLOWER than his best time of 14.9@93 two weeks ago...

So I decide to do an N/A run.....and ran what I thought was a good run until I got the timeslip 15.234@90mph....WTF....I know my car can run AT LEAST 14.7 N/A....so if I actually get a NICE day to go to the track...I should EASILY be in the 13s with only a 50shot

 

wow thats pretty fast, hope u break in to 13 next time.

add more shots!

 

Congrats, and pray for a good track day!

 

Humidity was pretty high though.

 

Its all in the launch. 2.1 60's and your in the 13s.

 

This is true. Finished with Cumalot's SC yet?

 

Oh no, taking my pleasent time. Should be done toinight, or worst cast Sunday night. I'm on call with work thiss weekend, and their allready calling this morning

 

There was no way in heck with that cold slippery track that I was going to get a 2.1.....Josh's best 60' of the night was like 2.35 or something and mine was 2.21....I think that's the best my car was gonna do...

 

Not bad at all!

 

Hhow many runs did you do total?

 

Congrats on teh new time.

Im sure wiht some better weather you can hit 13's.

Im also sure you can pull better then 2.2 60fts.

On a 50 shot my trap speeds are almost with yours @ 97.45mph w/ 60fts of 2.3....but i am also auto.

What bottle pressure are you running at? Even when its a bit humid...that is where NOSed cars have an advantage. It shouldnt effect NOSed cars too much at all compared to boosted.

 

yeah weather messed everything up. felt like i was running stock again i even let brian drive my car, figured was me messing up or something, but that didnt even help.

14.0 was sill nice for brian, but if get a decent day around here again, high 13.0's should be no problem at all. alot of guys very impressed with his times, remember just intake, clutch and exhaust

 

 

Maybe i shouldnt have admitted that.

 

probably not but it's cool hehe....get that fuel pump yet?

 

Noooo.

 

hehe...damnit i want to see you run more NOS and break 13's. hurry the f up

 

Congrats on the time. You should be in the 13s in no time fast! Look at it this way, you probably are already faster with a 50 shot of NOS then me with my S/C auto.

 

You'd be suprised...your auto will probably be pretty fast.....

Matt, I got 7 runs in...and my best was run on my third run..

 

Man, sux you didnt break into the 13's, but you still got some really good times. Good luck next time.

 

get nos and be the only VG to break into the 15s!
