First time at Track

[ktulu1984]

So I went bring her to the track last night, and I have to say this car doesn't hook up very well, lol. I wasn't able to go full throttle until 3rd gear, right before the 1/8 mile mark. My E.T. wasn't great, but I am happy with my MPH. I think I have maybe 2-3 more MPH once I can actually use all of 1st and 2nd gear. I am the right lane, the left was a 2013 5.0 with CAI, Boss Manifold and tune. His best pass tonight was a 12.6 at the same MPH as he had this pass. I had 4 passes with this MPH, but slower E.T.

Not worth it to go to the track on street tires. My one and only time out several years ago to see what she would do (I'm a road course guy) on DRs, I went 11.52 at 123. That mph is nice looking.

 

[ktulu1984]

I had one decent hook, a 1.89 60' time, but missed second ran 11.68 @ 132. All the rest were 1.9-2.0, then easing into the throttle until it would hook.

Nice! Great job on the mods! This shows that 2013-2014 cars don't need increased boost to run well. What was the DA for those runs?

 

[ktulu1984]

I just used a D/A calculator and it's saying -1240ft. The track elevation is 42.7 according to the site, and the temperature was 46f, the barometric pressure was 30.35, and the humidity was 50%. We usually have faster times down here that what I see from up north.

-1240 is good air but you're right the northern states can see -2k DAs.

Good mph for certain. Your car has much better ET's with better tires out back and perhaps some suspension upgrades so you're able to get the 60' down and go full throttle in all gears.

NO Problem raceway?

Wouldn't mind getting together and making some highway runs one day.

 

[Blackdevil77]

VERY impressive MPH!!! That's really moving out! Get some DR's and you'll really be ripping down the strip! I wonder how much additional MPH a 10% lower would add. The oval TB really seems to make significant improvements over the dual 65mm.

I live near Houma Kenneth, where you from?

Awesome MPH, and the not a terrible ET, get a good tire out back and 10s should be easy.

 

[Ghoust]

Your mph is strong for a non pullied car.

Cut Off, not too far away.

Damn that's solid on street tires

 

[2011 gtcs]

I may need to upgrade to a super cobra jet mono blade TB.

 

[ktulu1984]

Is this expected for the mods, or is it high? I wasn't expecting as much power gains.

 

[VFORCEJOHN]

good set of drag radials and you'll be 10.8 @130 easy.

 

[biminiLX]

What does your boost gauge read in good air like that?
That's great MPH for none pullied.
My friend Competition on here went 131 with just a 13-6 kit no pulley but not as good of DA.
Try some drag radials, you will be much happier at the track with them

Was that with the dual 65mm TB or the mono blade oval?

 

[biminiLX]

Dual 65, yes the mono will pick up some power for sure.
