Well Finally got back to the track after getting 3 new mods (spacer, headers, tune). I went from running consistant 9.5s to running 9.2s

I had the spare out, and 1/4 tank of gas.

1st run:
Reaction Time: .954
60 Foot Time: 2.238
Trap MPH: 77.5
ET: 9.275

2nd run:
Reaction Time: .711
60 Foot Time: 2.245
Trap MPH: 77.8
ET: 9.252

Are these good times at all? and I cant seem to crack a 60 foot under 2.2.

Im a 5AT on Nitto555 street tires (on stock 19s) launching at about 1500, getting no/barely any wheel spin.

Also what do you think this would translate to in the 1/4?

Also the track was preped OK, people were saying it was running slow that night.

Track Specs For the night:

Countyline Dragway 1/8 mile

Elevation above sea-level: 15 feet
Air Temp: ~79
Barometric Pressure: ~29.96
Relative Humidty: ~77%

Density Altitude: 1592 feet
Relative Density: 95.42 %

 

Not bad. You could have done better though.

I ran a 9.2 with a 2.2 60ft in 3600ft DA's with my 06 G35c 6MT (mods: exhaust, test pipes, spacer).

I don't have a 5AT so I really can't offer any advise as to how to get a better 60ft.

I've only gone into the 2.1 60ft range a few times, and haven't gotten into 2.0 flat thus far

.

 

so your runing mid 9s in the 1/8 with a 5at?

what would it be with a 6mt by chance with the same mods

 

Yeah I was hoping for 8s, maybe it was the track, alot of people were complaining that it was "running" slow.

when the 1/4 opens up ill give it another shot.

Hopefully some 5at guys can chime in here about the their times/60 foots.

 

Good times, but you need to work on that .60. My G with spacer, test pipes ran consistant 8.80s with a 2.0 60ft. usually at 79mph. That was on the stock Pilot Sport tires. Work on your 60 and your times will improve.

 

What were you launching at? ive been told around 1500 should be good, maybe i should try ramping it up a bit.

it might also be because of the water box, lol I dont know how to drive around it lol.

also maybe 40 psi is to much in the tires. I dropped it to 25 last time I was out and my 60 foot went to a 2.4.

I feel like such a noob!

 

I usually launch at 3K-3500, and 25 psi worked the best. I was able to cut ALOT of 2.0 .60 fts. Are you stalling up or just punching it off the line? Avoid the water box if you can, I would always do a slight burnout just to make sure no water was on te tires.

 

Corrected to sea level, your time is a 9.088@79.231. That's only correcting for DA. I wish I could find your track on my calculator becasue I'd be able to to offer you a full correction.

In terms of launching, a 2.2 isn't bad, but you can def. get down to a 2.1. You mentioned that track prep was ****ty, and I believe it. I ran at a horrible track over the summer and I would spin if I launched at 1500. On a well prepped track, you should get no wheel spin if launching from 1500 or 1800.

I have been stuck in the 2.2x's with a low time of 2.200. Then again, I am on 215's in the rear. I launch at between 1500 and 1800, but some members recommend to try 2500. I tried going from that rpm last time I went, and my tires spun. The track prep wasn't the best, and there is the chance that there was a little water on my right tire, so at a **** track you might lose a little traction from that high of a launch rpm. I am hoping to try it again next time I run, and hopefully I'll hook and go.

As for your time, I think it's good! You should AT LEAST be a low 14, and you can probably put together a high 13. A 77 trap is solid. You should be able to get a 100 or maybe 101 for the 1/4mi in the right conditions. The VQ picks up a lot of mph in the second half of the 1/4mi.

 

That's spot on to what my 5AT G with a spacer did in 1700' air. My G was running 14.3s@99mph. To convert to 1/4 mile, simply take your 1/8 times 1.55.

 

Im stalling up to about 1500 ish. Yeah ill try to aviod the water box as best I can next time but there is like no room to get around it. What tires were you on with the 25psi? last time I did that I was getting 2.4 60 foots.

Thanks! Yeah Im going to have to wait untill moroso opens back up (brand new everything) and im hoping for 13.8 ish. Ill try launching higher next time, but when my car gets to about 2k -2200 is starts to spin the tires a bit from a stand still.

I just think with the auto it doesnt have enough low end to get out. Im going to be putting in pulleys here soon, so hopefully I can see some quicker times.

Any other adivce/input is appreciated!

 

GinFLA, I was on the OEM Pilot Sports. About the crank pulley, it is the best bang for the buck mod. I have done on my car. Low end feels V8 torquey, just the ease of acceleration amazed me. Definately a worth-while mod.

 

really? i heard that the pulleies mess up the crank in the long run that they are not recommended for the VQs

 

Did you get the entire set or just the crank pulley? which would you recommend?

Only if you get it installed wrong. Thats why you go to a pro to get that done. The problems come from excess vibration and what not.

 

It's more of an old wives tale. Lots of people speak of it, but noone has any proof af anything. I have never had a problem with mine at all. I just have the crank pulley BTW, not the set.

 

so what do you think? Should I get the entire set or just the crank?
