New time 11.81 @ 117 CT26 powered 7M NEW RECORD!!!

[Devin LeBlanc]

Wasn't able to run with slicks last night but went out for fun anyways on the new trans and turbo setup.

Went 12.4 @ 113 with a 2.1 60ft on 225 hankook street tires. Spun 2nd and a little bit of 3rd but kept it straight and solid.

SM needs a Like button like facetube.

Trans didn't miss a beat shifting right at 6500 even spinning

Thanks, I was in Indianapolis a few weeks ago, wish I would have had some spare time would have liked to meet up and say whats up.

Why the burnout on street tires?

Should have man. Door is always open.

12.4! very good. heck, that's better than half the guys here would do with 500rwhp

 

[MK-beast]

How did you get your transmission to shift at 6500? i would be lucky if mine reached 6000

 

[Devin LeBlanc]

I do full custom valve body's that are re worked internally. Link is in my signature

 

[MK-beast]

Nice read, A friend of mine as a a built auto as well, but his does not shift at 6500 I think its closer to 6000. Thats why I was curious.

 

[te72]

If he had cams, it would still be making power up to 6500 and wouldn't just be to keep it revved high for the next gear... WINK WINK.

AWESOME work, man.

It's the simplicity to your car vs the trap/ET that makes others say, "Why can't mine do that?"

Why the burnout on street tires?

I also used to believe that doing a burnout on street tires was pointless or of little effect. After doing so though, I can tell you I could not have been more wrong.

Street tires do in fact benefit massively from a good and proper burnout just before a run. The only other thing that made as huge a difference was lowering rear tire pressure on street tires to 20-25 psi.

Without the burnout I fought for traction the entire way down the track and my best trap was 104. With a burnout same conditions my trap was 118 (although I still had some slippage). My best trap ever has been 128 and on street tires with burnout.

Flateric, so you run low 11's on street tires?

Flateric, so you run low 11's on street tires?

Thats the funny part. No I don't. Between a slippy clutch and poor traction. And admittedly not being the best drag racer in the universe my time for that trap was a miserable 12.9. I'll try to dig out the slip for the other details. But I am pleased with my trap as I think it shows the potential of my setup once I get my shit sorted out.

But I don't wanna jack this thread. Devin's trap/time is worthy of more than just a small amount of respect. Good job man!

Hmm, what has more to cause that effect though, the lower tire pressure, or the heating of the tires? Just curious, I don't get to play at tracks very often.

 

[Devin LeBlanc]

Some street tires do get stickier with a burn out, however most with more polyester percentage will get spin more the hotter they get.

 

[Turbo Habanero]

when do you plan on getting a run on slicks?
