13.8 @ 107mph

I don't know, guys. I thought I would be a little faster than that. My 60ft was a 2.3, my best being a 2.2 but that was last year. I didn't build the car for drag, but for the road-course, yet I still thought there was more in it. Is that a decent time for a FF on pump? The boost was 19psi. What annoyed me was my friend with an AWD auto trapped the same MPH as me, but was running high-12's. Ha! I understand why, but it still bugged me.

I can launch the car; however, what I cannot stop is the wheel-hop. No matter what I do. I have a WaveTrac L.S.D., polly mounts, Koni/GC's, Star-specs, (not drag tires) and I burned out. No matter WHAT I did, I could not fully get out of the hole. In first gear, I was always on/off the throttle to control the hop. I also had the tire-pressure at 22psi. I was thinking maybe 18ish or lower next time?

I've always wanted to run high-12's on pump with this car. Apparently, I am far from it. I'm going to re-tune the car for more boost today. Drag-racing is frustrating.

Try lowering your tires psi by 5 each run and see if your 60 food gets better, i wouldnt go below 15 though, it will actually start hurting your mph if you do. Good luck, if it was easy it wouldnt be fun!

Good idea. I have a nice technique with launching, but the hop would just kill everything. That was making me so mad. I was thinking of turning the boost up to around 24 today since that's where the Evo3 is the most efficient if I remember right. On my old Crower cams, I ran 24psi on pump. Now with these FP2's, I would knock at 20. I pulled more timing, but I was still shocked at how much I had to pull. That turbo wakes up a lot after 20psi. I guess those FP2's do much more work than the Crowers.

get some slicks or sticky street tires.

Your times are good granted that you're FWD

If you eliminated your lsd and got some sticky tires it wouldnt wheel hop...
Wheel hop will kill your transmission in a heartbeat... check out my old thread, theres alot of tips on how to keep it from wheelhopping http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/new...ons-cause-i-blew-up-another-transmission.html

Those traps are good for mid to low 13's with a decent 60'. You need to break the 110-112 mph mark to hit 12's in a front wheel drive without sticky tires. Wheel hop will blow your differential out of the tranny. Good luck.
