any ideas as to what else i can do to my car to get a bit of a better 60ft? Would ltweight pullys help me out in the bottom end and getting through 1st gear a bit faster? What i realy need is a bottle in my trunk or some boost.

 

HOW AND WHEN are you launching to get a 2.1 60ft?

I cant get better than 2.3

Does altitude affect 60 ft too?

 

Not really. In most cases it's negligible since its such a short distance.

Some tracks are just badly prepped and won't allow you to get anything under 2.2 for our cars. But most of the time, it's usually the driver. Just get more practice and play around with different methods of launching.

.

 

It could be the track because every 6-7 runs a car blows out.. Oil everywhere.

Gotta keep practicing!

 

not sure if altitude affects 60ft too but i would assume it does...

I think i could have done a bit better, but anyways heres my process

1. line up, throw the car in neutral and rev it to about 4.5k rpm and push the brake pedal in as deep as it goes
2. once the revs have come down, throw the car back into drive, then into tiptronic.
3. once the lights start comming down the tree i push the gas once the yellow lights start comming down the tree to preload it without holding it for too long and heating up the transmission, and once it gets to the last yellow light i take off.

its all a very quick process. i dont like to stall it for too long because i feel like the car leaves the line slower if i do, thats why i do a quick stall then go. I also do it quick because i dont like to heat the transmission up and get more drivetrain loss.

and if your spinning too much off the line, try letting some air out of your tires.

hope that helps.

and if thats not enough try taking out the back seat!

 

I use basically the same process as Gary and I usually see mid to high 2.1s. It still feels slow as hell though. If we could get around the Nissan throttle Nanny, these cars could get 2.0s pretty easily.

 

Wow 7k?! Dont we stop making power at ~6500RPM?

 

not bad times at all.... you got a few mor mods than me but i go all the time and i just found my best slip...its only an 1/8th mile track but here is my slip

 

i get 2.0 60's all the time...i launch at bout 1500-just under 2000... and i manually shift.... my needle says it goes to 7000 but ive never had a tune or reflash and bought it 100% stock......all i have is nismo cold air..greddy evo2 exhaust and a 5/8" skunk spacer

 

ya but it drops me in a much better place in the next gear. ive found that it helps me. not saying itl work for everyone but it might

 

automatics benefit from shifting at 7k rpm because of their longer gearing.

 

yup^

 

Excellent times! Thanks for posting how you launched! I've yet to do it in my car but i plan to after i get the Osiris! I have almost the same mods...just missing the exhaust. Time for a drive up to austin for a tune and then to baytown...

 

well stop by SA on your way back if you want to get a few runs at the "track" lol

 

any updates on the dyno sheet?
