6.97 @ 102mph in the 1/8th - New personal best

[-red97rum-]

So I hit up the Irwindale Speedway last night for a little Thursday Night Thunder action. Got 3 runs in.

1st run: Was shit, bogged off the line, banged the rev limiter on the 1-2 shift, so I just let out of it 3/4 the way down the track. Ran a 7.7 @ bla bla bla.

2nd run:
1.700 - 60'
7.295 - 1/8th
79.92 - mph (on the brakes as a 7.25 gets you kicked out)

3rd run, I said f*ck it:
1.65 - 60'
6.97 - 1/8th
102.3 - mph

Needless to say, the timeslip guy wasn't too happy with me and promptly took my wristband away. It's about time I start considering getting a cage in this car.

That is awesome, way to go man. Already post this up on the DS-Map forums .

Thanks! Yeah I posted it over there too

Is that on your bolt on HX35? What are you shifting it at? Care to post your VE map?

 

[1983gsp]

I would like to see the ve map as well. Good job

 

[BrokenTsi]

That should go 10.80's all day. Nice job.

Yep bolt on HX35. The 1-2 shift I'm usually hitting around 8200-8300rpm and 2-3 at around 7800-8000. I don't have access to my laptop right now but I can post up the VE table, sure.

 

[bastarddsm]

Oh ya how much boost?

 

[-red97rum-]

34-35psi of boost.

 

[gofer]

Weak. I wish my 101mph 1/8th mile equated to a 10.8 1/4 mile run.

Let me know when/where you plan on getting that cage done Dustin, maybe we can do a two DSM special.

With a 6.9 1/8th mile its possible. It would be close....

All depends on how well you do in the back half.

 

[gofer]

Yea, I know. My HTA68 gets me up to 101mph the first 1/8th mile then I pick up 20mph on the back half where I shift into 4th.

Make it for three

 

[gofer]

Make it for three

Shit. Call it four since Sam needs one now that I think about it, maybe he can do it?

Last weekend I went [email protected] in the 1/8th with a 1.483 60'. That run finished off [email protected].

I'd say 11.0 at least! Though I'd actually say high 10s. Good runs!

Yeah, but you dont count...your 60fts are nasty, haha.

I went 6.79 @ 112 and only went 10.3 @ 143. 1.75 60ft tho...

Only!

Shit man 143mph traps is making some damn good power. That thing must sink your ass into the seat on the back half

Here's my current VE map. My AFR's are touching 12.2 - 12.4 at 35psi of boost (gas scale) on E85.

Honestly, the only difference that I noticed between a low-mid 130mph trapspeed, was that I was in 4th gear a lot longer. It didn't really feel all that fast, so i was surprised to see the trap speed. Usually, I barely get into boost in 4th gear and I'll go 135mph. I get sunk into my seat in 2nd gear, it seems to be the most violent to me.

I have an in-car vid in the video section or in my profile of the 143mph.

Go run the 1/4mi and join the 10 second club. Im pretty sure you're there.

 

[gofer]

If Dustin runs a 10 second E/T he'd be the only DSM in SoCal hitting those times out of the active community right now.

 

[punishment]

Nice work!!

Any street car that runs sub 7's in the 1/8th is fast, the only problem is then you start wanting to hit 6.50's and after that its 6's. Damn this insanely addictive hobby and its never ending goals

Cool, I'm going to check out those vids.

I'd love to join the 10 second club! I've been chasing it for months now, it pisses me off. It seems like every time I get to the 1/4 mile street legals, which isn't very often here in socal, the car has dumb little issues. Then when I'm bored on a Thursday night and drive my car to the local 1/8th mile track the car kicks ass..

There's a PSCA event going on this weekend and I can pay $50 to TNT tomorrow, so I've been thinking about going. I guess it will depend on how many beers I drink tonight

If Dustin runs a 10 second E/T he'd be the only DSM in SoCal hitting those times out of the active community right now.

Don't forget about Mr. Hugo (boosting_laser). He's already went 10.7 with his a couple months back.

If the ve curve is any indication of the torque curve (which it should be) it really lays down on the big end. I don't think your average 5 speed car is gonna get in the 10's with a bolt on. That sucks, I was getting enthused about it, and theres a used housing on ebay for $200!

 

[SOADweskey]

If you get pre-fabbed cages make it five. And I will get mine shipped out here.

It does tend to plane off on the top end. Even more with the auto, it doesn't help that my #2 cylinder only has 100psi of compression either

I think a five speed car could do 10's on with a bolt on housing. My car trapped 127mph twice when it was a 5 speed and that was on a 2.5" exhaust to boot. Just not a good 60' and a old slow shifting 5 speed. I'm going to pull the head here soon and fix the engine, probably get a sheet metal intake manifold and maybe some kelford cams at the same time I put on bolt on hx40. I'm expecting 130+ trap speeds pretty easily then.

Definitely a 10sec 1/4 mile pass. For comparison's sake, my best 1/8th in my car was 7.00@111mph. True street tires. That was a 10.56 pass. So unless the car hits a brick wall after the 1/8th, it should ET in the 10's. Go there and run the 10sec pass. Congrats.
