Default went to the track last night *with video*

well, i went to the track last night hoping to run a flat to low 13 on street tires now that i got a clutch. well, i was spinning throught 1st, 2nd, and most of 3rd, so that did happen my best time was a 13.7 with a 2.4 60 ft. :P my 60 ft times were in the mid 2's all night, i just could not hook up on street tires period! the next thing i'm buying is some slicks! if i could pull a 1.8 60 ft with some slicks, that would prolly be a high *** 12 or 13 even. and i was only running 11 psi, i turned it down the day before b/c i kept blowing couplers, so i turned it back up on my last two runs and blew my upper charge pipe off both times :P the car isn't even tuned, just a basemap. with some tuning, fine tweeking and some slicks, it's definitely a 12 second car. even though i havne't had any good times, i know it won't take much and won't be long.


here's the video of one of my runs, yes, it's shitty video, but it's better than nothing. frank (sccaeg) is video taping.

RIGHT CLICK AND SAVE !!!!!!!

You could enable launch control in your setup, that might help you out a bit.

oooops, fixed. my trap on that run was 104 i believe. i may be getting some slicks here very soon and more than likely getting tuned and get some better couplers to run 13 or 14 psi and i should get in the 12's. i was going to build a b18 block, but i may get a bigger turbo, better manifold, and bigger charge pipes and push the stock b16 to the limits and see if i can't get it in to the low 12's high 11's on stock b16 with full interior by next season, we'll see...........

where you power shifting?(staying full throttle between shifts) and what rpms did you launch at?
when i took mine to the track my best time was a 14.7 104mph trap. 35psi in the tires, shitty traction.
same car as you, t3 60 trim 11psi.

i think i was launching about 4k or so, i don't have my ftl setup b/c i'm a dumbass, that could prolly shave off 1 or 2 10ths easily. no, i don't powershift, i was running about 17 psi in my tires. what were you're 60 ft times? you were either dumping way to high or way to low and bogging.

is it possible to have that slow a 60 ft time. if you got some slicks and launched right, you could get that down to 1.8-1.9 easily and shave off more than a second off your et.

you where running 17psi on street tires? did you try 20-25psi? if so which psi was it hooking up better at? 17psi is extremely low i think.
