Thread: Back from the track.Not too bad

Just got back from the track and did a total of 4 passes at the 1/8th mile. Got 2 kills and 2 losses but overall not bad ill say. Unfortunately no time slips, they were not able to get them printed out but ill list the important stuff i remember. And sorry no dyno run but possibly in a week or two otherwise it will be after the swap.

Run 1: against a 97 stang GT with intake, flowmaster, 5spd(screwed up my launch on this one)
Me:9.8 @71mph Him: 9.5 @74mph

Run 2: against 06 civic si with CAI, headers( much better on this run)
Me: 9.6 @73mph Him: 9.9 @71mph

Run 3: against a Saab 9-3 turbo, exhaust work, manual and lowered( very close but top end worked for me)
Me: 9.6 @ 74mph Him: 9.9 @ 73mph

Run 4: against a stage 2 GTI( he straight killed me after 2nd gear lol but trapped my best launch was near perfect finally)
Me: 9.4 @ 75 Him: 8.8 @ 81

So im happy i was able to hit my goal N/A of mid 9's which if my math is correct would put me between 14.6 and 14.9 in the 1/4 mile. So im done N/A and within the next 2 months the transformation finally begins with boost.

I thought about it but at that point it would be time for me to get another tranny rebuild and thats extra dough and time needed.Plus i have all the blower parts ready to go on all i need is a tune and one or two lil things.

good runs, i personally dont like 1/8 mile, to short haha

Yea i agree too short lol but it is the closest track to me. Eventually will make a trek to miami and do 1/4 mile runs.

Nah, when racing GPs, it lasts forever. Good stuff.

Immokalee regional raceway

I guess I'm old school. 1/8th means nothing to me, I can't even put the numbers into perspective.

I've seen so many cars scream to the 1/8th, then fall on their faces by 1000ft.












Like scooters for instance.

Scooter = Grand Prix.

We know NOTHING of top end.

eh bolt on gt's do low 15's

Nice, im sure if you tuned the prix it could crack a high to mid 14's. i got a qtr mile track 30 min or less from my new house so ill be showing slips sooner or later. still need my hv3 in though argle.

yeah im sure a bolt on gt with a good tune can crack 14's.

An HV3 takes like 20 minutes to put in, nancy.

LOL

^ Forreal or move as slow as zzp and take "30 minutes". If i was tuned i would think a solid mid 14s if i hit the 1/4 mile.

A tune makes a difference...but not half a second in an N/A car. You might have ran a 14.999999999999999999999999999

LOL

check my other thread,.. took alot more then 20 minutes for me lol

Ummm IDK if a fully modded NA could run solid mid 14s. IIRC the best ever build of an NA is only like 240 hp...

Blue what kinda times would silver kar put down???that thing was pretty heavily modded wasn't it. And it still got walked by a stock pulley gyp right.
