Cool meng, congratz.. Did anyone else go with you?

 

^^ nope lol, I had 3/4 thank of gas and some stuff + spare in the trunk. But no one was there who I could leave it with.

 

Congrats... You did great. I hate those lights... Your car has a good a good pick up and that helps in the 60 ft. Great video.

 

that was a pro tree. Did they start you like that everytime? Congrats bro talk to you soon.

 

Perfect day for racing. I would have gone but I was up in Orlando doing the Food and Wine thing at Epcot. It was a crazy ride into work this morning with temps in the lower 60's. I had forgotten what a difference the weather made.

Congrats on your runs.

 

Thanks everyone.

For the heck of it I found out the DA of my best run. 335 feet

What do you mean by a Pro tree?I usually went by my self. my RT avg around .300 from all my runs.

I need to practice some more on the shift 1st to 2nd it lags a bit I need to compensate. And also I never need to go into 4th in the vid you can see I did :O ( was my first run) My tires were down to 25psi and that's were I got my 2.198 60'. I went down to 20psi but I did not get a better 60', only did this for the last few runs.

I was launching between 1.8k to 2.8k rpm most of the time it was around 2k. two times I had a chance to set my rpms up I launched at mid and higher 2k one of them gave me a 60' of 2.198 but my time was only 14.77 that time.

 

Get the Transgo kit for the VB and the shifts will get better dramatically. Great run!!!

 

check out this site for explanation of Pro Tre, Sportsman or Full Tree. Very interesting indeed,, http://www.nhra.net/basics/basics.html

 

That way you almost have no time to rev your engine and for AT is a bit more complicated.

 

Thanks for the link

ha, I did not even know about all that. I am not sure if they all were like that. Honestly when I just saw the light above the green get lit I went for it.

mesias -

yea, I remember you telling me about it. I am sure it put lots of strain on my tranny so I wont be dragging for a bit or untill I get the rest of the mods on the car. Ill look into the VB kit.

I did let it sit 15-20 min in-between each run for anyone wondering.

edit: damn forgot to get my free "tech card" what ever that is :P

 

If you planning on going often to the track you must get a bigger tranny cooler as well.

 

yea, I know about that. But like I said that was more or less for a baseline run, next time ill do it is when I am out the *** modded out which might take some time :P

Thanks for the help.
