1st time at track, any pointers?

[jongreene]

Well today I made it to the track for my first time, wind wasnt on our side today and boost wasnt holding real solid like id hoped but damn it was fun.

Have a look ...what can I improve on?


1: 1.837

2: 5.829

3: 9.017 (79.28 mph)

4: 11.657


E.T: 14.015 at 99.97mph


reaction was a .466.... which wasnt the best of the day

Is this alright for a 1st timer? Any input would be great...

I'd say it's pretty good. Looking at your mods you have some room for improvement, but a 14 flat isn't anything to be ashamed of. 1.8 is a pretty solid launch.

Did you do any type of weight reduction before the runs? If not, i'd say take out the back seat, spare tire, jack, and any other tools or unnecessary items(i.e. subwoofers) that have some weight to it. If you do that and you did not before i'd probably expect to get 13.9XX next time you go.

Yeah ive done all the basic weight reduction (backseats, spare tire, etc).
I think my biggest issue now is that my TB is one big leak.

There is no doubt about that. I would get all of your boost leaks cleared up before going back.

FWIW, your reaction time has no factor on your ET.

Yep , wasnt planning on going back until new TB is on.
