Just got back from the track, and I can't say im too happy. Best I could pull off was a 13.39@104. I was hoping to stoop into mid 12's, but there was a bunch of issues making it real hard. First of all, i was on stock tires. I noticed that theres some clearance issues with the slicks i have, so i wasnt able to run them. I'm spinning all of first, most of second, and some of third. Second the altitude @ this track is stupid silly, 2,710 ft. above sea level. Its once of the worst track to go to, but i didnt really have a choice so i decided to go anyway. This was also done on a 75 shot with everything else pretty much stock. I made a video of the whole things along with an in cabin view of the run. Ill post it up as soon as i get it form my buddy's cam.

All in all, all i gotta say is the car felt a lot less powerfull cause of the high altitude. And it wasnt just me cause tons if real nice cars were runnign cappy times to. There was a 06 vetter than couldnt run better than a 13.8. I gotta take my car to fontana and see what i run there. Its a much better track, but about 2 hours away from me. I'm probably gonna go again next week, this time with a 100 shot and some decent tires. It should be in the 12's for sure.

 

you went to LACR?

 

ya lol

 

Try running @ 5500 above sea level, thats what we struggle with here in ABQ. Even so, there are calculators that will show you the adjustment for running above sea level. Just do a search on google and quite a few will pop up. You'll have to know a few other conditions as well though.

 

lol i live up here

 

not a bad run but the tires make a huge issue.

 

What are your 60' times. That usually tells it all!

 

that run was a 2.45 60 foot. But the problem is also after 60 foot cause im still running into tractions problems after that. There was a 05 350z with a an eldebrock system running an 80 shot. He has some mickey thompson DR's. I actually have my run against him on video too. Off the line he would immediatly shoot about 3- 4 cars ahead. After that it was a slow but steady creeping towards him. GO NX! My traps were slightly higher than his, but he has a better E.T. Cant wait to get the bigger fuel pump in (for the 150 shot) and the drag radials. Should be a big diff


Also on a side note, i couldnt get a decent bone out for the life of me. Once i started doing the bone out, it would be fine for about 3 seconds, then slowly the rpms would drop, so i had to let off the brakes a little to get the rpm's back up. Then the car would shoot forward and i run out of room for the rest of the boneout. One time tho i did have a pretty decent boneout and managed a 2.01 60 foot. Unfortunatly i missed third so it screwed up the run BTW, I had rear stockers set to 20 psi.

 

Sorry to hear about your disappointing run.
