2nd Time (not as terrible driving inside)

[MrSwa]

Went back to Ohio Valley tonight and got three runs in. Much happier then a week ago. Dropped the Kuhmos down to 26-27psi this time. Seemed to work much better. Was launching @ ~2k. No videos this time, no one was there with me that wasn't running.

Previous week ran a best (I use this term loosely) of 8.95 @ 90mph

1st Run
Reaction - +.3329
60ft - 2.3262
330ft - 5.9771
594ft - 8.3009
1/8 mile - 8.8059
MPH - 89.10

2nd Run
Reaction - +.2100
60ft - 2.2019
330ft - 5.7651
594ft - 8.0077
1/8 mile - 8.4971
MPH - 91.95

3rd Run
Reaction - +.4680
60ft - 2.1849
330ft - 5.5900
594ft - 7.7891
1/8 mile - 8.2799
MPH - 91.68

Overall I'm much happier than the 1st time. Now I need to find a good set of spare wheels and get the nittos mounted.

Side note: the 3rd run I was lined up next to a MKIV with anti-lag. He was nice and sat on the line and let me go. He ran a 7.17 @ 107.

your third run is good enough for a mid 12 second pass. nice job

Good runs, tha MKIV is hauling ass!

Thanks.

There where actually 2 identical (same color, same wheels, etc) MKIVs there. They sounded amazing. I have to admit that watching a car pull up to the line, and start hitting anti-lag was pretty awesome.

What mods are you running?

 

[MrSwa]

The car sits as I bought it so this is the list from the previous owner:
Posi-Ported Blower
Ported lower intake
Ported Dragon
2.9upper, 6lb lower
Bassni Exhaust
60lb injectors
Custom tune
Previous dyno numbers of 530/570

The more I think about it, I am a little worried about the supposed power. I do plan on taking it back to the dyno once I get a wideband, but I'm trying to find a used one I can save a few bucks on.

I know the previous owner ran a 7.4X @ ~97, but this was on some real tires.

 

[SvTDsG]

The power numbers sound right. Its just going to take some seat time and some tires, idk if the Nittos will do your car justice I would pick up some Mickeys. Do you do a burnout at all to heat the tires?

 

[MrSwa]

I tried a burnout on the first run and just got tons of wheel hop so I let out. I didn't want to break an axle so I just didn't do one after that. I'm hoping that some stickier tires will solve this problem.

 

[SvTDsG]

Sticky tires help with the wheel hop, if you dont have a diff cover brace get one before you put any kind of tire on it.
