Not very happy with track times

[grey03mach1]

My car is a 2003 Cobra with a 2.93 pulley, CAI, O/R x pipe, Flows. No tune but I did have it dyno'd and A/F checked. Supposed to get mail order tune this week. Car put down 480 hp 473 tq corrected (466hp 458 tq). Best pass was 12.6 @ 113 mph w/2.0 60ft. I ran a couple of 12.7 and 12.8's with traps in 114 and 115. Slicks are a must, I realize that now. The humidity was also kind of high (80%)which may have contributed to the low trap speeds. Do these numbers sound about right or what? I just got the car 2 months ago.

Mid 12's is common for D/R's or street tires.

Good stuff. :beer:

Huh?? The cars run 12.7ish bone stock. He is making 100 extra hp. That car should run solid mid-high 11's @ 120ish.

Not if it can't hook. I didn't mean to put slicks in my original post. I mean "D/R's or street tires."

Gotcha......that is what threw me off :beer:

I just can't launch with street tires. It bites pretty good in second since I got some new rubber but there is no way to get outta the hole without spinning.

And I need to change my numbers in sig to corrected 466 458

For reference my car ran a 12.1 @ 120.8 on a 1.96 sixty. The Density altitude was 1760 ft( 86 degrees).

Really no point to go to the track with that kind of power and street tires... Truthfully id be happy with a 12.6, cause im sure it was spinning baaaaad. Should run 11's when you get a tire.. and you dont need slicks.. Try the M/T drag Radials.. There amazing

The track was not prepped worth a damn and I had to go through the water trap. There was no way around it which pissed me off. temp was 77 degrees DA was 1553 ft

Just keep driving it. There is a learning curve to it. No one can just jump right in and blast off great or perfect times. The more you run it the better your times will get. Even with no mod changes.

I would be pissed.
When my 2v GT was n/a it ran 12.20's at 111mph.
Now with a mild tune and 10psi it went 11.17@122.

He's only had the car for 2 months and he's on street tires. I would be pissed if i had 656hp and only trapped 133 oke:

OP. Get that tune and keep practicing :rockon:

 

[evil04svtcobra]

not everyone is john force!

i dont think you need slicks.. get some mickey thompson street et's 275 and just practice practice practice.

What was your 60'? I recently just went to the track and ran a 12.4 at 117 but that was with a 2.3 60' on street tires.

I'm sure your N/A GT has three bolt-ons right? What your 2v GT ran highly modified has nothing to do with this thread. Thanks

My 60 ranged from 2.0-2.2 Most of the time it was 2.1. What are your mods and where did these runs take place?

Your car is either not making 480rwhp or you don't know how to drive.
