I hit the 1/4 mile and not happy :{

[LitleWhiteSnake]

i was on my almost gone nitto 555r's and my best was a 2.4 60ft 14.0 at 103mph

i couldent hook in 2nd at all... i was side ways a bit till the middle of 3rd (not powershifting)

but my question is shouldent my mph be higher?

btw i was at 5lbs and the shittos at 18-20lbs on 110 gas

after 3 passes and not getting to the 13's i just left crying:cryying:

 

[Chris _Scott]

me and you, track next week. [pending I get the drag springs on]

My drag radials have more rubber on them than I thought they did...so it looks like I can visit the track regularly now until I burn them bald...

 

[LitleWhiteSnake]

mine are bald so i dont think ill be going back till slicks

 

[STAMPEDE3]

Never had luck with nittos below 25psi.

Sidewall is too hard and causes them to hump in the center.
No contact patch.

 

[LILBLKSNAKE]

you need more Nitrous

 

[Mark185]

your tire must be killing you.. i cut 2.2 60' on 275 street tires

 

[Chris _Scott]

okay how about this.

I'll get some VHT, and spray that unto your tires...will you go then?

 

[venom1997]

man you will need bfgs at the least set to about 12-14 psi if not get some hoosier qtp i got some 27x10.5-15 those hook like a mofo 1.62 60' i cut with them on a cool 45* night. the best i cut with my 295/35/18 bfg drags was a 1.79 on a warmer night

 

[venom1997]

a drag radial will hook best when bald try a longer burnout and 14 psi

 

[Tabres]

Even with a bad 60' time his mph should be much higher. Completely stock cars can trap those speeds...

 

[b dub]

Gears, nitrous, boost, and a "full suspenshion" and can't hit 13's?



That's worse than a Honda

 

[coupecop]

i just went to the track yesterday and my best time was 13.6 at 100 mph with 1.7 60ft with my nittos

Well considering my car with nittos 305's that are new, and the same KB, I cut a 2.4 60' (my tires were at almost 30 psi just what I normally run) and the Kb had the 8lbs pulley on. I managed a 12.0@118 with a 2.4 60' so I would say yeay your mph should be higher. You either need a serious driver mod or a new tune.

 

[Chris _Scott]

I'm just curious..how do you all launch with your nitto DRs?

Mine are fairly new, I had them at about 19.7psi and I wasn't sure on how I should have launched it.

I figure I'll do a longer burnout, and then bring it up to about 2-3k RPMs and then bring the clutch up, but not all the way, and let it grab and then slowly roll out of the clutch and into the gas more once it hooks?

Or are do you all manage to hook with dropping the clutch? [I tried that..didn't work] I have stock 3.27s btw.

 

[F8L BYT]

Wow i'm really surpised at the times you guys are posting! Are your guys tracks at really high altitude or what? My track is at about 980ft and i ran a 13.3@102 with a shitty 1.98 60'. All i have is a k/n filter and o/r x. Are the tracks just preppared horribly or what?

 

[projectslideway]

13.4 @ 103
1.84 60 foot
intake, exhaust, 4.56's and super bald drag radials being easy on the t-45 between shifts...

the first technique you described will be best, drag radials dont like to drop the clutch unless mabey the hoosiers(they wrinkle good)

Start launching around 2200rpm and work your way up until you find your sweet spot.

Thanks for the advice! I'll smoke the tires nicely in 2nd gear and start slipping the clutch out at around 2200 RPM and mess around with it from there. I'm new to driving with drag radials...so its a learning experience for me with this...whenever I get slicks I'll have to relearn again as well, lol.

maybe the tune is whats killing me cuz it still hasent been tuned compleatly for the 39lbs injecter and the 90mm maf
