N/A at the dragstrip

[Needboost]

tonite is was a little cold so i thought it would be good to run the car so that it would be much cooler air going int the engine. it was good for power but i was spinning like crazy all down the track even in 3rd. it was 1/8th mile track. i know mine times werent crazy fast but i think it was good for a n/a.

my best run was

Reaction: .233
I1: 2.323
I2: 6.825

E.T. :10.537
MPH:69.164


let me know how slow it is:wtc: and what other n/a are doing and maybe hear from the fast turbos.lol

no 1/4 times?

naw not yet. i plan on going to a 1/4 mile track when it gets warm again.

Went last weekend.. 1/4 mile was consistent 17.1 @ 81-83 mph 6 out of 8 runs.. My other two runs were 17.2

Automatic, Stock Exhaust, Stock intake... Should hit a sub 17 next weekend.. 91 and advanced timing, exhaust as well

 

[xzeror]

N/A POWA! lol:: badger :: I wonder what my n/a will get with intake exhaust and 5 speed. i have the 3.9 gear ratio instead and r154 tho

Don't wait for the green, wait for the last yellow to let out the clutch and launch.

That said, seems about on par with what an n/a should do. I wonder if I couldn't tow an n/a behind me and get that sort of time though haha... anyway, shouldn't this be in the racing section?

lol didnt read post before i read the times. i saw 10 sec @ 69mph, and was like WTF?! lol. doesnt seem bad though

I start letting the clutch out right after the second yellow, It works pretty good for my driving style.

Need boost whats done to your car?

When I had my 91 N/A 5 speed I was running 16.2s consistently all night. All I had done was intake and exhaust. I thought that was slow but after seeing that someone was running 17s makes me feel better.

I made it down to 15.4 in 86.5 (1/4 mile), cool October night and warm tires, hooked and took off. I was letting out on the clutch during the last yellow light. Had the old school HKS exhaust, test pipe, and a cheap "CAI" filter on the flapper.

I have seen 1/8 mile runs, I don't like them, seems too short for me and I cant really judge a car just off a short distance.

Thats good to hear, I am also at about 2500 feet elevation so that makes it really bad... Going this next weekend with exhaust and the air-filter removed.. should see a little bit better time lol (Same weekend as SILV)

i only have a intake and a catback exhaust. ordered a header the other day then going back to the strip to see if the time changes.

im sure if i didnt spin i would have gotten a better time. but it was pretty cold think around 50 so it was pretty hard to hook up. even spun sometimes at the end of the track.
