My Night At The Track 4-13-06

[RTA Supra]

After running a 13.8 at TX2K6, I realized that I needed lots of track time. I started that night with a 14.6, then a 14.somethin, then a 14.01 and finished with a 13.8.

Last night, IdealSupra, F & H Performance, Dr. Bowser and I went to a local Test N Tune. My first pass was a 13.9@100.5. I leaned the car out a tad in the mid range then ran a 13.9 again but this time at 104. My 60ft times for both were 2.2ish so I was definitelly fighting to get out the hole. My third pass was a 13.6@104.6 which lifted my spirits for sure to be back on track. After dropping the tire pressure down a tad more and launching a little higher, I was able to pull off a 13.4@104 with a 60 ft of 2.0. Needless to say I was friggin happy that I was able to drop my time down a bit and bring up my MPH. Now I just need to get my 60' times down and find out the best place to launch.

Ran 13.8 @ 100 at TX2K6

Last night at local Test N Tune
1st pass - 13.9 @ 100.51 60' - 2.2
2nd pass - 13.9 @ 104.84 60' - 2.3
3rd pass - 13.6 @ 104.69 60' - 2.2
4th pass - 13.4 @ 104.43 60' - 2.0

Now it's time to change/fix a few things and head back. The 13.8 at Texas was the first time that I had ever ran a 13, and that was an amazing feeling. Now, I can almost taste a 12 second pass. I know that it's there, I just have to find out how to get it

mods?

mods?

Basically I have a SC61, 550's, 3" turbo back, hardpipes, ic, 3923's, vpc, gcc, tial wg with .9 spring, eibach springs, and tokico blues. I'm also running MKIV wheels with Nitto 555's

 

[bigal0043]

wow only high 13's with those mods? i almost got ur same top speed with a stock car... when i did a 14.4 i only had the boost raised... nothing else not even exhaust

 

[RTA Supra]

Yeah yeah, I know. Everyone and their mother has run faster stock, but like I said in the post, I just need practice and need to clean some tuning issues out. I never claimed to be stupid fast, just figured I'd chime in on how I did.

Used to be auto, (.57Trim )14.1 @103mph...stock inj/Lex maf/Aero vfpr...miserable 2.48 60'...and a reaction time of .668...Sure seems like your car has alot more capability than that! Boost Addtn (Bert) runs in the low 13's, or high 12's (can't remember) and he has minimal mod's.:icon_surp SP61 blows alot of air,:icon_razz should be high 12 second car with tuning and a good launch!:icon_conf

 

[bigal0043]

yea i was just saying with those mods you should be in 12's like 91t said...

thanks for posting RTA glad to see people doing more 1/4 mile runs always fun to look at

 

[RTA Supra]

I just like progress posts = ) Can't wait to say..........Remember when I was in the 13's? lol

I'm definitelly bringin my A game for TX2k7 so I'll have plenty of time to get my times down

 

[dbsupra90]

congrats on the improvement!

however, i too am a little perplexed why it is still a little off. the 60' is there, just a little lower et and trap than i would expect. a 61 w/ a .9 spring should be approaching or above 400rw.

regardless, nice job!

I'm having some issues up top. I'll be posting a new thread in the Technical forums if I can't figure it out in the next week. I'll be taking out the HKS stuff and putting in the Map ECU tomorrow morning so hopefully I'll have some answers soon.
