Try about 30 lbs. Most good looking rims weight over 30 lbs., plus have weight toward the outside of the rim. Stock 18's are 24 lbs, and stock forged 19's weight about 20 lbs. The stock 18 in. michelins weight about 24 lbs., the stock brigestone 19's weight about 28. Most 275 wide tires will weight between 28 and 30 lbs. So if I'm even close to being right, your have about 20 lbs. extra rotational lbs. Does this sound correct anyone?

 

s2k is not a drag car at all. My friend brought his s2k to LACR once he managed to brake into 14.9 with dropping the clutch at 6,500 rpm.

 

I still don't see a 60' time. The right launch makes all the difference. That's probably why you're seeing dissappointing times. 75 degrees is in no way hot outside and humidity @ LACR isn't bad at all usually. Try running in the summer heat in TX w/ Houston's humidity Now that's a bitch.

 

LACR is around 2000ft. elevation and in the thin/hot desert air...
Ive ran usually between .5 to 1 sec. SLOWER at LACR...
compared w/ carlsbad, pomona, fontana, or bakersfield...

Been tempted to try Irvindale @ night(thursdays) but its only 1/8th mile

LACR has discouraged many drivers/tuners alike...

next time try unbolting the seats, removing the sway bars(for weight transfer)
run RACE gas, bump up the front air press. for low rolling resistance..

good luck

they're pretty decent.... I know a couple people with a stock s2k with drag radials that ran consistent 14.1's

 

I wouldn't get too discouraged. EVERY car I've read about going to LACR runs dismal times. It just can't be the elevation because 2,000 isn't extremely terrible, but the track seems to make cars perform as if they were running at 4,000-5,000'. If I live in LA, I wouldn't even consider LACR. Some tracks are just faster than others. Go to a coastal/sea level track like ATCO in the cool months with high baro pressures and you'll be pulling off stellar times, even with crap 60 foots.

When the conditions is really good at a sea level track, the density altitude (oxygen density) can often be in the -1,000 to -1,500' range. That means the motor is making about 104-106% power. When my G sedna with Z-pipe ran it's 14.3-14.4@97-98mph, the track was at 800', but the conditions were equal to ~-100' below sea level. Prior to the 14.3s, the car ran 14.4-14.5@96-97mph in 1,100' air.

Conditions make all the difference.

 

Can you post your slip?

Thanks

"Conditions make all the difference."

Wow, now if he can take his own advice sometimes.

 

Just curious...whatcha talkin' 'bout, Willis? You're not going to tell me conditions are going to make a difference on the dyno, now are you?

 

Whats the fastest 1/4 mile time for a completly stock 04 stock 6mt anyone has seen? I have a bet with a friend that i go high 13's but still 13's.... possible? and is the sway bar thing really worth doing? like where would i do this? is it safe to drive on the highway with if off? btw im a pretty good driver.... i jus want to kno if its possible... and also should i empty my trunk or is that a bad idea bc i will have to launch at a lower rpm.... my tires are pretty bald.... stock piolets but i would think on the track it may make more contact.... i dunno just a thought. also i was thinking going test pipes

 

LACR is exactly 2710ft above sea level... it is always dusty (there is a motocross track right next to the 1/4 mile track)... it is said that the track is slightly elevated at the finish line due to the age of the track and having settled from start line (being lower)... normally the temps are high due to the tracks location... in the summer it is in the 90's (even at night) - mid 70's is a GREAT temp at that track... Winter is the only time I would go back (if ever).

The dust and distance (from my house) are two MAJOR factors that keep me from visiting LACR often. It is ridiculous how filthy the car gets!!! The dust is so fine you can barely see it while at the track - but the next day - Oh My GAWD!!! A layer of very fine dust ALL OVER the car inside and out and in engine compartment!!!! It plain SUX!

Rant over - just my .02

BTW, my best time there was 15.00 (equates to 14.5 at sea level) - that was mid summer temps in the low 90's... 04 AT sedan.

 

Hey Dave, check PM when you get a chance

 

I am talking avbout LACR!

 

You have heavier tires and not enough power to utliize the extra rubber.

 

i just ran a 14.8 first time at track, i was dissapointed but its all good jus went for some fun..i wanna go again and use the manual mode since my car was auto see if it makes difference
