Re: Trance also went to the track yesterday
 

:-\ Hmmm, I just fixed a boosting problem I had noticed on the way home from the track last night. I had a split in the reducer off the turbo and it was only allowing me to boost 6-7lbs. So, these runs may have been 7lb. runs :'( I'm not sure because I wasn't watching the boost guage on the track but on the way home I noticed it wasn't reading 10-11...
She is now though. Next time, next time >:D

Re: Trance also went to the track yesterday
 

Sweeeeeeeeeet. All the better at only 7psi. Now you know more and got 3 more lbs to play with. I never knew how much our cars suck at traction until today. I'm still on my stock clutch so the WG is at 4-6psi. Anyway, I would out 1st a little bit at 3/4 throttle then all of a sudden the wheel got really light in my hand and the car wanted to go everywhere. I was like "WTF?!?! At this low of boost and only at Hotrex throttle?!?!" Oh well, I guess when I get the 6-puck clutch and bump back up to 10psi then take my runs at the track you'll read this in my "Went to the track" thread. "Well, I managed 15.23 for my best time holding down 2.8sec 60 footers" LOL. Oh well, I guess it takes time to learn how to drive these things. Am I right?

werd trance. :)

Re: Trance also went to the track yesterday
 

Good ---- trance. You can for sure cut at least a second off your time with some traction improvement. Polyurethane motor mounts are your friend too ;)

Dammit I want your setup in my car

Re: Trance also went to the track yesterday
 

Bah you guy's havn't even seen pictures of it. The charge pipes aren't too pretty. I think I painted them with some regular house paint or something. haha it's just flaking off :'( But yeah I'll definately look into poly mounts jago. I'm still on the stockers and they sure seem to flex alot.

Re: Trance also went to the track yesterday
 

I'm running an ls with a T25 @10psi and pulled 13.6 @100 mph with worn 225 proxies and still had a hard time getting traction. my best 60 foot was 1.88. I too was running 20psi. To much I guess.

Re: Trance also went to the track yesterday
 

thats definitely causing your wheelhop issues most likely.

I put in some energy inserts and after some break-in with them they virtually eliminated my wheelhop

tho i still think i want to ge the three jimfab mounts.

Re: Trance also went to the track yesterday
 

Definately appreciate the advice and help. I have a few more months before I go back to the track so I will certainly take these things into consideration for next time.

Re: Trance also went to the track yesterday
 

If I remember correctly, yours has an ITR front end right Trance?

Re: Trance also went to the track yesterday
 

oh ---- very nice steve !!! wow if it only at 7 psi and it ran a 13.6 with 11 psi with some slick u should be in the high 12 ? too bad the hatch is gone or i would bring it ....
