RippinSVT's 96-98 Cobra Track Tips for Newbies... (sticky please)

[RippinSVT]

Hopefully others will too, but it needs sticky-status.

thanks, i noticed a few things i messed up on, and will definately hit up those tips, i think one of my killers was also racing 3/4 tank of gas.

 

[RippinSVT]

That'll definately take off a little bit, but it's all the little things that add up to make you run good or bad. You search for hundredths, and the some hundredths add up into tenths, and for tenths turn into seconds. Every little bit helps.

+1 for sticky. Maybe I'll head to the track sometime...

Keep them in for the fun factor, but expect a tenth or two higher in ET's.:lol:

This should've been a sticky the first time I ran stock a couple years ago...

...14.4

I see a lot of people running 14's, even 15's, and wish they could know the tricks before hand. We gotta represent out dying breed of Cobras! lol

 

[RippinSVT]

thanks!

 

[johnnydufus]

dont forget to run good gas, and only run an 1/8th tank (less weight)

One quick question.... why on earth would one part with thier platinum plugs???

I have honestly never heard of this before...

 

[RippinSVT]

The are built for longevity, not performance, don't believe the corporate hype.

 

[95greenvert]

i would suggest a small burnout on street tires, i have my best 60's @ 25psi and a 5sec or so burnout

Depends on the tire, some tires with carry water to the starting line.

 

[Jackie Chan]

i didnt say to go through the water box

 

[RippinSVT]

good call, but so many people do for some reason. I always drive around iton streeties.

This is off topic, but where did you get your wheels rippinsvt and how much did they cost?
