Took my car to the track tonight. NE Dragway in NH. 80 degrees to start and at end of the night it was 70. 65% humidity didn't help. the track conditions seemed good. The best I could run was a 14.018 @ 101.6. Best trap speed was 101.9. My wheels are pretty heavy so that's hurting me, but my 60 times sucked. most were 2.2-2.3. Best was 2.184 60'. It seemed I could not brake torque or it would bog even if I only did if for a few secs. Overall it seemed I couldn't launch hard at all. I tried DS mode and D. Best time I got and 60' of 2.184 was when I just stomped on it (no breaks torquing). I never spun once the entire night. I have a bunch of questions.
1. What is the best way to launch our cars?
2. Can you effectively brake torque and how?
3. What is the best test pipes for our cars, how much do they cost and do they throw a CEL?
I drove around on my Z1Motorsports HFC's for about 1000 miles before I got tuned and never threw a code. They are prob best in my opinion because they have brackets to keep them in place most don't and end up cracking because of this.
Had a blast ran 13.5's @ 105 MPH. Made 5 runs all were 105-103 and 13.5 -13.6. pretty happy ! The dodge was the best race of the night. I messed up twice hitting the rev limiter and still should have won he nipped me by.0222
Great job trapping 105mph! Has the new tune helped you? I lurk over on the th370z tuning section and see you're very active there.
Hell yea it did, Just to compare the traps speeds are what the Z370 guys are pulling . RWD lighter cars at that, For a 3800 LBS car the traps are NICE!
The tune help 1000% My Stillen SC kit'd( UPREV ) X coupe was only trapping 101's( 60 ft traction issues) but still slower and only .4 faster :/ .My best run with the Stillen SC was 13.17 @ 101
