Well... finally decided to get drag radials [225/50/16 hoosiers] mounted on 16" SSR, I also fixed my motor mounts.
Mods:
intake, hotshot headers, warpspeed b-pipe w/ greddy muffler, gutted cat, SSIM, UDP, technosquare ECU, Fidanza Flywheel, super aFCII Untunned.

Wish i could have done better, but still not bad. Launching on drags is totally different from street tires. I did however lose some MPH, not quite sure why yet. But overall, not bad!

 

dang man! awesome times for those mods! great job!

 

nice man good job!

 

wow looks like I need the TS ECU reflash. I've even got a few more NA mods than you (other than the ECU) and you've got half a second on me. Good times!

 

Its about time you got those DR's man. How was the weather the day you went?

 

Pretty good actually. about 74, overcast, low humidty

 

I hoping to get better times in the up coming weeks. I had a pretty bad exhuast leak b4 the rear o2 sensors that i fixed yesterday. If all works well i should break 12's this season.

 

There it is. JPing the situation I was waitng for it.

 

Good job man...Nice times. can't wait to get some modding money

 

he really did this time

 

he really did this time BTW whats the record for N/A 5.5???

 

Sweet, nice time!

IIRC the N/A 5.5 record is still SR20DEN's 12.89. I'm sure Neal will correct me if I'm wrong, he seems to remember the numbers better than I do.. haha

 

Whelp, It's the perks of being able to beat all the people who say i am!!! It's in the contract, y'all may have one sent to you one day.LOL!!

 

Yeah, he still holds the record from maybe over 3 years ago. I'm still a MPH shy of his 108mph. Maybe ill try some weight reduction?!

 

CF hood and remove back seat and your there!

 

There's not too much weight reduction to be had except for the passenger seat and the spare/etc. I think with all that stuff and the back seat out I only lost around 100 lbs.

 

you think thats enough to go from 13.2 to 12.8, i think your lunchin, i say whatever extra mods sparks got plus weight reduction and fingers cross with a word of prayer lol (i exaggerated greatly at the end)

 

My car race weight last year was 3395. If i can get in the 3200, then i should be good. I want to take out my back seats, but my amps are on the back of them. And i keep my jack with me, just in case!

 

Definitely not doing CF, I'll try to tune again and some weight reduction at the next big event.

 

You ever thought of a MSD 6 Ignition Timing Box! That might help without the need for weight reduction!

 

I definitely could never see you with CF!

 

Aaron's IM spacers should complimet your SSIM pretty well and drop your time a tad. I'm guessing those DRs were a vast improvement over your previous tire. Job well done man. An insipiration to us N/A dudes.

 

I'm sure you'll break 12's at Imports vs domestics.

 

Good work JP.

 

 

im sure I will long before then with full interior..lol

 

Define "untunned" in this situation... I have seen you play around with that thing in your car 100s of times.

 

congrats JP, look forward to seeing you break 12's, although i'm not really sure what more you can do at this point though.

 

Congrats man great times!!!

 

I think he could still do cams.

 

UTEC.

 

I think the reason you lost mph has to do with your tire pressure. If it is too low then you get a nice launch with the possible downside of less top end. I think the intuition here is that the lower pressure reduces the diameter of the tire so you are essentially covering less ground, or at least a non-slick tire. Don't quote me though.

 

its the stickier tires actually, a lower 60' always leads to a slower MPH. he lost a lot though, probly a combo of that and his exhaust leak caused the difference

 

also, as you do down in wheel size your speed will decrease; it's a change in ratio from the wheel size to the gears. Same goes with tire pressure, the lower your pressure the harder the car has to work but at the same time you have better grip. I say increase the tire pressure a little and see what happens.

 

when are you gonna run down at MIR?
