Going to the track(1/4 mile) this coming saturday. Just wanting to know what yall think i would get. Hopefully it wont rain

My previous time was 16.5@85mph

my newest mod is 8.8 rearend with 3.73 gears

I hope to see "at least" 15.99 lol

So what do yall think

 

15.79 @ 89 mph.......... 2.01 60 ft

Have fun and be careful.

 

estament?

 

16.2 @ 88mph

 

Damn, no faith in the gear, huh??

From 2.73's to 3.72's I'd certainly hope to see a better gain than .3 ...

I'm going with 15.95 @ 88.

 

I'm running friday so what ever I do you should do just a little better So I will give my guess friday night lol

we will see what happens when you are 3.73 and a turbo and I have 4.10s and nitrous

 

thanx yall for the times...i do hope to see 15's whenever i get my timeslip

cool

how much of a shot ur going to run?

 

75 probably I might do a 100 but that's a big maybe

 

I guess it might be a little bit more than .3 if he's coming from 2.73s instead of 3.23s. I'll still keep my estimate and hope he can't launch. (I don't actually hope you can't launch... just for my estimate's sake)

 

I just checked the weather and the day that I am going to the track looks like it will be clear (i'm so happy) about 3 days ago it was supposed to rain on friday


I'm looking at faily high humidity (67%) and low to mid 60s not sure on the elevation so the air conditions could be better but you go with what you got

 

15.90s @ 88-89

Good luck and be safe!

 

thanx yall

lucky...both of the tracks i want to go to, which is ethier friday or saturday..on the forcast it says that is going to be raining

But hopefully it doesnt since the weather could always change

 

what psi should i run my street tires? i was thinking maybe 20, how much could i go? (lower that is)

 

I wouldn't mess with tire pressure to much if it's to low it will slow you down at the end and that will be more trouble that the slightly better launch is worth

 

so then live it at 35psi and no burnout....

 

Don't do a big burnout that will just kill your tires let them spin just enough to evaporate the water of the tires as soon as you see any smoke stop. Street tires don't get any real benifit from being hot

and as far as psi goes I wouldn't go below 30 and only drop it to that if you are spinning through most of first (which is unlikely) chirp is no big deal.

 

kool thanx

ill probably run it at 35 psi first and if i spin ill drop it down to 30

 

Most street tires are rated at about 32PSI, 35 seems a little too high to me. I'd probably run about 28PSI in the rears on the track, 32 for daily use.

Also, don't go through the water box at all if you can help it. Not only will it hurt your times, but you'll have all of the guys with slicks pissed at you. Just do your best to drive around it. Burnouts on regular radial tires do nothing to help traction, just do a small dry hop to shake the tires.

 

At the one by me there is no way to go around it so you have to go through


and I found that the track elevation is 658 feet

 

ok thanx for the tip guys...ya both of the tracks i go to, there is no way around it

looks like im gonna have to do a small dry hop

 

Yea! (est-a-ment) also see (gues-a-ment)

 

bump....

im going to the track 2morrow, just wanted to see who else wants to guess

"switch" you guessed Laserred6 1/4 so i ur times seem pretty close (but i hope its not low 16's )

 

I'm going to guess 15.9

 

It's es-ti-mate

 

lol ya i knew i misspelled it was too late to correct it

 

Well, I could be way off. You'll never really know until you go to the track.

 

It was a joke

You really spell it (s-dah-ment)

 

lol, well im all set...i put new spark plugs, cleaned my throttle body/air filter. Im taking off to the track in about 1hr 1/2 and probaly wont get to San Antonio until about 7pm

once i get back i will post my times

 

didn't catch that. lol

 

Are you back yet? and what were your times?
