2014 GT Paxton

[phils04gt]

Took the car out to the track last night; had great weather. Car is a 6spd with Paxton kit, JLT, ID1000s and Mickey Thompson 275-60-15. Finally figured out how to launch the car (somewhat) on the last pass of the night. I had to really heat up the MTs to get them to hook well. I tried a few different ways to launch. Didn't want to completely drop the clutch so I left around 4k and once I felt the tires begin to grab, I put the wood to the floor. Fun!

60ft - 1.71
1/8 - 7.3 @ 102
1/4 - 11.2 @ 127


I can't wait to get out there again and get me a 10 second slip.

I will try and get a video up.

Great mph! What psi?

 

[YellowBlaze11]

Are you running drag radials?

 

[phils04gt]

Yes, I am running MT drag radials(18psi). I am not too sure what PSI that car is making, no gauge. I am thinking it should be around 7-9PSI. I am using the pulley that comes with the Paxton kit.

Good run. Looks like you have a bit more in it, if you can keep it from spinning off the line. What kind of dyno numbers are you making to run that trap speed?

 

[phils04gt]

I haven't had the car dynoed yet but I am guessing it is around 600 wheel.

Congrats......

Nice times, DR's on a manual can be tricky. I have to slip mine at 3k to completely hook with the same tires and I don't make near the power you do. Car is moving for sure!

 

[bizaarmatt]

Awsome! I've got a very similiar setup to you, same exact trap speeds, and my best was 7.9/11.7. I've not had a chance to go back to the track after learning how to drive the car! I do pretty much the same as you said now. You still have the stock clutch?

 

[phils04gt]

Yeap. Still rocking the stock clutch.

nice run

Awesome mile an hour u should try the drag radials at 15 psi I wouldn't go any lower its still a steel belted tire and has a hard sidewall. Good run keep at it.

Good run!

What RPM are you shifting it at?

 

[phils04gt]

I want to say around 6500-6700.

 

[Punisher1401]

I think there is a high 10 in it for sure

Really carrying the mail there buddy!! With all that power, I wonder if a sub 1.7 60' time will also be time for a new clutch?
