Atco track results 10/3
Finally got on the track with the turbo setup. I only got one run in because i got there at 8:30pm and it was packed.
Atco Raceway in NJ
GT40 - 10psi
3" cutout
Quaife LSD in stock trans
255/50/16 BFG DRs
pump gas
full interior
60' 2.153
1/8 8.642
mph 87.75
1/4 13.009
mph 113.04
I did a small burnout on the DRs so I didnt heat them up too much, I had bad wheel hop on launch, spun 2nd and 3rd so I short shifted 2nd and lifted in 3rd. Dont know what was up with the wheel spin, because I never spin 3rd on the street on street tires.
I was surprised to run a 13.00 @ 113.04 with it being my first run on boost and the traction problems. Sucks that there was time only for one run, 12s should be easy next time I get to the track.

That is a heck of a time to pull off on the first run. You really got to heat up DR's to get them to stick. You got mid/high 12's easy. Traps look good and will only go up as you keep traction. Congrats!

Not bad at all for a first run!
I know I was getting a 13.27 on 18" street tires and a 2.4 60' on 8psi so I'm sure you will be in the 12's in no time. Just make sure to heat up the tires really good. You can't hurt them by making sure they're hot.

Ill be going to the track this friday so hopefully I get a few runs in. Any suggestions on tire pressure for the drag radials? I plan to launch around
3.5k and do a quick slip...any thoughts on this?

Adjust the bars to pull towards the front the most you can. And run 14 psi in the tires. It will hook. Some have gone as low as 12.5, but 14-16 psi sounds just right.
As for launch RPM, you have a bunch of torque. You will have to launch low. The power has to be applied gradually, you do not want to shock drag radials. Only bias ply slicks can truly handle a straight, high RPM dump. A 3500 slip sounds fine. Good call. If it doesn't hook go lower.

When you say adjust the bars to pull towards the front, do you mean have a pulling tension against the bracket and control arm or a pushing tension against the bracket and control arm.
Ill go lower on the tire pressure. On this run, they were at 23psi and were probably still cold since the burnout was only for a few seconds. Thanks for all the tips. Cant wait till Friday

I'm looking into making a quick-release "solid axle" for maximas. To prevent weight transfer.
Drag civics have solid front suspensions because of this.
