Well last night I went to the drag strip for the first time.I went to san antonio raceway in Texas. First of all my only power mods are stilling intake and z tube, motordyne spacer and berk hfc, and I had on stock wheels with Goodyear 245s as well. Ok so now for the times, for the first 8 ish passes I ran 14.9x 2.4x 60ft at 96-97! What is going on! Isn't this car supposed trap 99 stock?!!! I couldn't figure out what was going on, I
waashamed

 

So then I took I dropped the tire pressure more and tightened my rear shocks some (dspecs ) and I was able to make a few 14.6x 2.3x 60ft 97-98 mph passes. Though I got better I was still disappointed. Anyone have ideas on what's going on? Even with the slow times and still had fun and plan to go back soon.

 

Oh btw I have a 03 coupe 6mt

 

what was altitude there. also barametric pressure and outside temp...it all plays a part. example at sea level at the Jerseyshore on a 65 degree day my car feels like a handful..

 

what rpms are you launching at?

 

I just calculated the DA and it was around 3090 the whole night. And I was launching anywhere from 2500-3500 best felt right under 3k

 

I put the stocks on cause I just didn't need them and didn't feel bad tearing them up, but I have piaa super rozzas with nt555 275s ill use next time

 

My solution






It also came bundled with this thing

 

it's the weather in 3k+ DA your car is making less than 100% of it's power check out the da calculator on dragtimes and input your times for a corrected sea level time.

 

Yeah my best tome corrected is a 14.15

 

Yeah my best time corrected is a 14.15

 

Feel a little better now? If you get your 60ft down to the 2.1-1.9 range you will be running 13's.

 

Where u @ in jerz?

 

A little bit but who really compares corrected times?

 

nobody, but everyone sure mocks guys that try to compare corrected times.
