Just got back from the track...

[tms217]

here are the results:

Run 1:
2.1907 60ft
13.4306 @107.15

Run 2:
2.0559 60ft
13.25 @108.70

Run 3:
2.0197 60ft
13.0972 @108.25

Run 4:
1.9691 60ft
12.98 @109.03

Run 5:
2.0678 60ft
13.12 @107.74

I was hoping to get a hair better on the last run but due to an accident the sun went down and the track cooled off. Next time I'll be looking for the 12.8-12.7.

Great #'s! Those 60's look consistently good. Are you on stock tires, or drags?

 

[tms217]

I was excited about the 60 ft also... Still have the stock BFG's Previous attemps at the track netted a 2.2 or worse 60 so I am happy.

:lol: Great Numbers.....

Terry quick question....I noticed you have the Steeda IRS Busings....What are your thoughts and opinions????

 

[tms217]

First off the Steeda IRS bushing are a good start. They do reduce the hop alittle.. Making it a real cheap easy mod... This is how I drove the car..

Rev to 3000-3500 RPM and ride the clutch until you get moving enough to lay in it. I quick shifted but never power shifted. I will try to help out as much as possible. Just keep the Q's comming..

hey terry
ok, what RPM did u shift at? 6200RPM or Redline? thanks man for helping me out...i had a bad time at my first track event...i want my next time in june to be better. what i was doing was, reving from 2500-3100RPM and then dropping the clutch. that wasnt working very well, and i just couldnt get a good start off the line. so waht ur saying is to rev to about 3200rpm, ride the clutch to the point before it engages, then when the light goes green, give it more gas.....step on it or no? haha thanks man, your a big help terry. thanks again.

Slip the clutch out slowly but I would advise against "riding" it out. This will generally result in a smoked clutch.

 

[tms217]

TTAFB_SVT is right.... Slip the clutch enough to get moving so when you stand on the gas you should not get any spin or hop. I would recomend if you do not have exhaust to shift at 6200-6500. The Dyno graphs show a drop in power at redline with the factory exhaust. With aftermarket exhaust the curve stays pretty flat so run it to redline. With these cars dropping the clutch without DR's will result in alot of spin and hop. With the DR's you might want to keep your eye out on breaking the halfshafts. Though I have yet to hear anyone with a 01 that has broken the shafts.

Terry,

How do you like the MagnaFlow cat-back? I was debating over the Borla? Did you get your dyno #'s after the cat-back?

By the way great MPH and ET, I haven't seen any 99 or 01's in the 109 range w/out a power adder.

So far my cobra is still stock but the itch is here with warm weather close by and the release of the 03's.

I love the Magnaflow catback.... I would not change it for anything... I will dyno on June 1 and I will have it on tape to get sound clips.... I'll let everyone know how it goes... I am hoping to get over 300 at the wheels..
