Just curious to what other autos w/ nitrous are running.

Please let me know what gen & what size shot.

BTW - I am finally posting up one of my times. It is as follows:

R/T - .596
60 - 2.35
330 - 6.09
1/8 - 9.12
mph - 79.81
1000 - 11.56
1/4 - 14.00
mph - 100.06

I hope to improve my time w/ a set of DR's, Catback, & some tuning on the dyno.

 

no traction eh?

 

doesnt look like it.

 

and i thought i was slow....


if everything goes according to plan i might have some numbers for you later this year...

 

Oh man, Synki, you are really really close to breaking into the 13's. Are you coming to Atco tomorrow (Sunday), maybe you can do it then ?

 

nice times. I really like the MPH

 

14 @ 100mph? is that right? wouldnt it be a faster ET for 100mph?

 

Yep, a 100mph trap speed should be at least a 13.9 run but i am still having traction problems.

 

Nope. None back then and still dont have any. On the street i still get wheel spin through 1st & 2nd w/ me & a friend in my car.

Im just waiting for my axles to snap sooner or later.

 

How about some better tires? Try using some wider tires if that is possible on the hubs.

 

LoL, You and me can be slow together.

I cant wait, maybe we can do a grudge match.

Greg: i wont be making it tomorrow (Sun) for Atco. I will be returning when i put my other new mods on.

 

New mods? Whatcha getting, cat-back?

 

Yea, i am getting catback & drag radials.

I will be dynoing soon so i can i tune the NOS system to squeeze some more power out of this car.

 

After dyno and 13's, you gonna get a new car?

 

Yep. My goal is to hit 13's in an auto and produce nice dyno numbers. I wont expect more then 240fwhp & about 260-270fwtq but that is enough power to get a Max to run 13's.

This car can only go so fast before any internal work & that is something im not willing to do. MVIK or a Lightning sounds nice.

 

Lightning , didn't you say your cousin had a Lightning? The black one right?

 

Yep, he has a Black 99 L that is chipped, K&N intake, & a bigger TB. He dynoed over 400rwhp and he was running 12.7's & Atco last Sunday. Too bad he ran those times w/ a pair of stock Lightning rims, a huge jack, & tool box in his bed while dragging. Im sure if he dumped it he would be at least a 12.5 now. He was also using M/T DR's.

 

Did he have his stock rims chained to a telephone pole at the track? I saw a pair.

 

You running 100 shot now?

 

hmmm...

"...tune the nos... youll be runnin 10's..."

... favorite line in the movie

 

LoL actually I think he actually said 9s! I was like wtf.

 

Haha, and the car didn't even have NOS

 

well synki you know what my times where, 14.2 @ 102 mph with a 2.5 60ft time. NO TRACTION

 

My ex girlfriend has a 99 L. 12.83@108 is her best, and she just dropped $1500 on some new parts last week. Should be around 12.3@113 when she installs them and gets to the track again.

 

your gf has a 99 L? wtf is a 99 L?

 

he forgot the SE infront of the L...

 

Lightning......

 

That's a nice time for an auto! What size jet are you running?

 

Yes, find out some way to put power down. I get 2.27 60' times on street tires @ 25 psi.

 

KMAX98 from Orlando ran spot on that ET, but slower trap speed (14.0@96 mph, 2.08 60 ft) in his 4th gen auto with a 40 shot and an exhaust and 17" street tires. My guess is youre running alot more than a 40 shot!

Are you trying to spray right out of the hole? That would explain your 2.35 60 ft. Try spraying after you get into 2nd gear (or very late into 1st) and youll probably have better luck.

 

sorry to say it synki.. but bigger wheels will probably help you better.. i know you hate big wheels.. but since you are spinning like crazy.. bigger wheels might help

 

You mean my big clunky 18's are actually good for something?

 

got a ride in a 350hp MkIII tonight... holy **** it was fast. I mean, compared to a maxima and all . I'm definiately considering one now.

- matt

 

only 350? try riding in a 900 hp MKIV

 

Nah, all his stuff was still in his truck whne he was dragging.

 

Yep, maybe i'll go higher.

93_Maxspeed. I am running a .047 jet i believe which is a 100 shot.

DMBMaxima (STeve), i am still feeling your pain.

Sprint, i really dont think bigger is going to help but maybe. Smaller will give me faster acceleration but lower my trap speed. Bigger will give me better top end but that is not what im looking for. I have enough top end, but autos are just plain slow on the start.

I just need my damn Drag Radials.

 

I thought Sprint suggested to go with a larger rim with more inertia, not a larger overall wheel diameter.

 

Yea, i talked to him once. I dont understand how he was so fast for only 40 shot. I was running 14.3@97mph on a 50 shot. I mean i only have a CAI, Y-pipe, & Nitrous. Those are my only mods. I know he ran DR's on his 16's. I am on a 100 shot.

I have realized, the more NOS i am trying to use, the harder it is to get better times. 50 shot is probably the best combo for this car.

Mayve you can fill me in on what he had? (PM me perhaps?).

I spray at about 3600rpms in first till the top of 3rd. I dont spray in the 60ft. THat is all NA out of the hole. I have pulled 2.2 before on 15" rims & stock TC but i cant get it any faster unless i put a higher stall TC in.

I have sprayed in 2nd & 3rd & NOT in first and it yeilded me a 14.6 & a 14.5 so far. Not spraying in first has actually hurt me a lot on my times but my trap speeds arent that far off.

 

i am telling you big wheels for traction.. just like jeff just said.. but i know you don't like big wheels.. so i guess you will just keep spinning all day long
