Another "whats wrong with my car" thread/racing the 1320

[OfnaRcR4]

So i took my car to the strip today and was expecting mid 14's. First run down the track i got a 14.88. My best time was a 14.76. Can anyone say if that time sounds right for a car with my mods.

BTW, just for reference, i got a 15.89 in my NA just with a crappy exhaust.

MODS: rebuilt motor, 2.5 in hardpipes, spearco "replica FMIC", shimmed wastegate(no clue how much but it peggs the guage at 4k rpm.) 3 in exhaust and downpost but stock elbow.

One more thing, on my last run, i was revving my car and while at the tree with the clutch in revving, i felt a grinding that got worse the higher i revved.

EDIT:
Here is my best timeslip.
60 ft 2.37
330 ft 6.42
1/8 9.6
1/4 ET 14.7800
1/4 MPH 96.37

A little bit less useful thread title, please. "Help" would be better.

What is the trap speed?

I also moved this to the drag racing section.

60 foot should be a place where you can improve. And ya, do something about that stock elbow.

 

[upgradedsupra]

Your car is a very low 14 and the mods seem to match IMO ... 60ft just needs improving

Stock elbow FTL. Start expecting low 14's once you get a full flow, possibly high 13's if you get a great launch and up the boost some with a MBC.

 

[OfnaRcR4]

Found a decent boost leak after the IC that seemed to help the car a bit. Next run i do will be with a new elbow.

 

[MmmBoost]

thats about what i ran with street tires (kumho ecstas)

i couldnt get the 60 foot time down below 2.2 seconds, which yielded a 14 flat.

i have about the same mods as you.

Tires?

60' time is part of your problem.

1/10th improvement in 60' = 2/10th improvement in 1/4

easy mid-low 14's just practicing your launch.

My friend just made this vid. It has in and out car shots so you can see my launch. I'm getting some bad wheelhop too.

W3rd.

Also, you need to come to the big Chicago supra meet this comming weekend! You're not that far away. You can practice your launch there.

Already do lol:biglaugh: Just dont have an elbow.

One thing i was going to post up is that it seems that my boost drops off after 5200 rpm.

 

[starscream5000]

lol, I like the last of the video where you get your time slip and spaz out.

Thats the elbow & the stock ct26....

Your exhaust sounds stock. :-(

 

[dbsupra90]

sounds like a chicken in your car a 3:15 lol

yeah you need to practice your launch. also, you need to leave on the bottom yellow, not wait for the green. this has nothing to do w/ the times since it doesnt start the clock til you pass the beams. just thought id mention.
