Englishtown SATURDAY March 3rd !!!

a couple of us are going to raceway on the 3rd....come down if you can

Saturday morning, not Friday evening. It's $30 for a few practice runs and then there are the races. Track opens at 9am, so come early.

jwt popcharger, z-tube, turboxs test pipes, borla exhaust

i set my tire pressure to 28psi but still didnt' get enough traction.

best 60 foot time was a 2.1 when i ran 14.002@100.46mph.... if i get down to a 2.0 60 foot i'll be in the 13's no problem.

i have the rev up motor shifted at 7200rpm's no power shifting and launched at 4000 rpm's with easy going off the clutch

there are a number of factors especially the weather conditions and practicing the launch is most important there.

i'm getting a set of drag radials nxt time -- the stock bridgestones just don't do justice especially when vinny ten brought the twin turbo G35 coupe on OEM 19's spinning 1st 2nd and 3rd gears

Yea traction wasnt a strong point for me either ... but what really slowed me down ( I think) was my gas tank was full since I garage my car for the winter.... i topped it off before garaging it and I never had a chance to take it out before the track

Anyways I'm thinking of getting a motordyne 5/16 spacer you think it will improve my track time?

lol had a full tank too...umm one of them lol, had volk rims and painted headlight housing

i have a 5/16 spacer, it should help a little bit...but main thing is just practice...alot of guys with similar mods as me were running 14.0-14.2
