1/4 mile time improves =]

before at Atlanta Dragway ("commerce") on 22psi /w 100octane unleaded i ran 11.92 @ 125 mph with a 4.11 open diff on street tires (441rwhp/381rwtq)

 

this sunday we all went to Import Showdown at Silverdollar Raceway in Reynolds, GA (better track than commerce but far as hell). my best pass of the day was

 

*r/t 2.63 (i just went when i was rdy tongue_1.gif)

*60' 1.996

*330 5.290

*1/8 7.906

*mph 95.53

*1000 10.090

*1/4 11.959

*mph 121.11

 

That was pump gas at 20psi (415rwhp/359rwtq) . Bottom line, i can't see myself doing any better than high 11's on street tires, with a 3.54 open rear end.

 

I'm saving up for some better tires/rims

 

I get just a little of fourth gear in the 1/4 with the 3.54 open, so i would definately like to try a 3.7 lsd out of an 88 turbo 300zx, i think that gear would be perfect cause i'd get some rpm's outta 4th, plus it's the only ratio that's lsd.

 

I don't know if any of my friends got that pass on video, if i can find it i'll post it. but here's the *bonus* vid.......on the giant treadmill in little tijuana of course :coollook:

 

 

there was another run vs iloveboost (470rwhp 03 z06), our run in the vid he misshifted. we did another one, i think i only got him by 2 cars this timelast time was like 2 buses with me and cameraman in my car and him solo, this time i was solo and he had cameraman so he's doing better. his bday is this weekend and his wife is giving him nitrous for it lol

 

boki and iloveboost were running in front of me and thrust (601rwhp 04 cobra), i yelled to thrust "looked like a good one" he couldn't hear me so he yells "40mph"....i'm like "aiight" we went 40-140, he said i got him by a car and a half. both of us were solo so no vid for that one.

 

boki (~500rwhp 2005 m3) is the king of excuses, he was actually on a 150shot not a 125. i respect him cause he does all his own work too. that's a damn fast bmw. we raced for dinner so he bought my applebees house sirloin rofl, which he later said he only did to weigh me down ROFL. i was solo he had cameraman.

 

good times :-D

hehehe =] , i was solo but i had almost a full tank of gas + a full 5 gallon gas caddy in the car. but the other guy's had passengers so it made it more fair. i never got to use my 100octane cause i got to the track with half a tank left :(

 

the best tip i got at the track was "STOP KILLING FIRST GEAR, you got a bunch of power, but you're on street tires with an open diff, don't get all in first gear" soon as i did that my 60' went down. it's just hard to slip my frickin clutch. and when you're against an evo or other awd car and that joker launchs on you, your natural reaction is mash the gas to catch up (= spin = lose ) instead of "u better get your launch cause here i come!" lol
