Yay Car 573

[DTRMiguel]

Yayy me i knew i could do it with the help of ctrlraven beating it in me "learn to drive it" "learn to drive it". I beat my best time at Capitol Raceway ran a 14.295 @ 98.09mph:D 60' getting better learning to launch 2.30 was my past best i shattered that with a 2.140:eek:. All i have is a JLT intake and a tune and she pulls hard once i get all my launching down perfect and how to actually come out of the hole and have 0 spin i think i could pull a 14.22-14.19. Any tips?:help:

Thought I posted this already, but it's worth saying again...Way to go Mike!

Get a MSD 2-step, that will really help and take the launch guessing out for you and I would also lower your rear air tire psi to 26-28psi (adjust it back after each run if needed). Remove the junk out of your trunk and run around 1/4 tank of gas, no less than that though. That should be good for a few hundreds of a sec. Once you get 4.10 gears your going to need a helmet for the 13's! Good job!

Yea i had to much gas probably ill run it at 1/4 tank next time and get a set of 16" steelies ill definitely run 13's. What cha think?

How the hell did you get a 14.2 with just those mods? Now I'm pissed that my cars best is a 14.4 with both those mods, 4.10s, UD pulleys and a water pump. I must be doing something wrong.

:awe: :run: so you can mess around and run another 14.0? What chu smokin willis:bandit:?

[ImpalaSlayer]

dude itd be anyones race.

[DTRMiguel]

Na im just kidding that will be good when u have a close race it makes you drive better i think. Ohh if i have some bigger injectors and a Ford GT fuel pump i could run 14.0 or 13.9 id add more timing and be GOOD :D

[ImpalaSlayer]

dont need that stuff. not for a sock engine car. i cant wait to put my drags on and give it a go. tobad im running outa time b4 it gets to hot

Better hurry up sucka ima catch and pass you in a little bit with less mods :P

Very nice times with those mods, I would be suprised if I break 15's around here with my mods :mad2:

[bigbillybbs]

WOW awesome times with just those moddssss.....! :bows:

[Blown3.8]

Eh thats nothin. My 8000lb excursion with just a tune pulled a 9.17 in the eigth:P with a 1.88 60'. Who wants to line em up?

Anyway nice times. Its so good to be able to go back to the track!

04's are faster i be tryna tell folks :beer:

[DTRMiguel]

OK thia may be a monkey ass question but does race gas help any reducing times? I plan to remove my headlight,fold the mirrors back,and let chris or sherman drive. I should be at 13.9 then says chris i just wonna know if race gas will take any number of tenths off?

Change plugs
Seafoam
Fuel Filter
Clean MAF

Spare tire etc?

Are you running 93; tuned for it?

I'm one to talk! I haven't been to the drags YET.

Soon!:banana2:

[Paul T. Casey]

I would also lower your rear air tire psi to 26-28psi Good job!

I go right down to 23-24 psi. Also, bump those fronts up to 40 - 42 psi. Other big thing everyone forgets is GO STRAIGHT. I'm serious about this. Every time you move the wheel even just a little, you loose time. Get it lined up straight, and go straight as possible.

[ctrlraven]

Mike you just need to get the 4.10s installed, load up Zack's 4.10 tune, reduce what weight you can, get a good launch and you'll be in 13's.

For the track we run on I found 26psi to work the best on stock BFGs. I run my KDW2s at 23-24 psi but with 16" drag radials now don't care about street tire psi. Getting out of the groove will slow you down and like Paul said go straight, you should have both hands on the wheel when you launch anyways unless its a pro street car with trans brake and etc etc.

[DTRMiguel]

Yay popped out the headlight and ran 14.202 @ 98.13 i need a smaller driver and weight reduction :lol: Ill post up timeslip sometime later theyre machine wasnt printing at the beginning so its handwritten by a track official

Plugs are 1 day old so maybe that will help next time out. Fuel filter is less than a year old. Havent used seafoam or cleaned MAF. Would that help? Spare tire is always in the trunck and yes it's tuned for 93. Most of my problem is launching. I need practice!
