Thread: Track Story

So i got the GTP to the track yesterday... ran a 14.3, had traction issues though. i really think i could have gotten a 14 flat. But now my SES lights on so i gotta figure out wtf happened. seems to be driving fine so hopefully its nothing big.

I did kill a Cobalt and a bunch of other stupid little ricers with honda's and such

Nice bro. Actually that's funny cus when I took mine to the track about a mile after I left the ses light came on and stayed there for about two days. But then it went off and didn't come back. Don't know what it was. But good job on the runs bro. Look at my sig and check out my times

what was your trap and 60's ???

thank you nick!!! yea. next time will be better. i need to get better traction.

Want 13's easy?

1.9 rockers
3.29 gears

In my '02, I ran 14.02 with 1.9 HS RR's, DHP PCM, 3.4, PEM, and 3.29's. I had 60' times of 2.00 - 2.10 and was trapping 96-ish. It was a hot and muggy SOB though. So - my gears were doing their part, but I had nothing up top (headers would have been nice) Now granted - I also didn't have my PS hooked up or turned on in my PCM...if so - I had 13's in the bag easy.

(If Jay aka "ABRASIV" will run his car this year at BGPM, then I'm guessing he'll hit 13.8 ish with no issues at all) <---that would be my '02 GTP.

jeff will be taken care of next week!!!

I guess it was also worth noting that that 14.02 was run the very same day that I finished a complete rebuild.

A 14.3 on a 2.3 60' is going to be something close to a 13.7 on a 2.0 60'. Just getting that 60' to a 2.15 should get you tickling the 13.99 mark.

maybe. i went 14.3 at 98 with a 2.3 60" then 14.1 at 97 with a 2.17 60"

i know its all about 60 foots but i dont think he would have picked up that much. with a 2.0X 60 tho i could deff see 13.9

Like I said, it's possible. Usually I pick up .2 in the quarter for every .1 I drop off my 60'. Every run is different and you don't always see those results if something else happens later on in the run. Like I said, it's just a general rule of thumb everything else being equal.
