Track results from today...

60' -2.135
330' - ??
1/8 - 8.580
MPH - 90.51
1000' - 10.983
1/4 - 12.966
MPH - 113.33


Full weight 2g FWD of course on BFG's. I was running 100 octane pump gas. Boost on the e16g was about 22-24psi. AFR 11.7. Rest of the mods are in my profile.

Next step, add some VP110 and run some more boost and timing advance and shoot for mid 12's on this setup before I step up to slicks. This e16g seems to be a pretty potent "big" lil guy.

The track was very slick for whatever reason too. I can usually cut 2.0's all day on the BFG's w/ my studderbox set at 4500 RPM but today I had to keep lowering my launch point and the car still kept breaking loose big time. I only got three runs to try and dial the launch in. Wish I had more time. I really need to get some low 8's in 1/8 somehow.
 
I thought it was pretty lean too. I usually run 11.4 on 100 octane. I just thought I would try that majic power number of 11.76:1 and see what would happen. I was surprised that I ended up w/ no knock while adding a few degrees of timing on top of this AFR.
 
Nice, I need to get my meth injection so I can lean my car out right now. Since I am pretty much against race gas(I run it and love it but try not to run it at the track) I am used to running a 10.5:1 afr at most so even 11.4 is lean as shit. Nice times none the less keep up the good work.
 
nice run. i could never get a 2.0 60ft on the bfgs. i always launched around 5500, and it did spin some then grips. maybe i shouldve launched lower.
 
A 12.96 is still a 12. Congrats man! :thumb:
Your mph on the big end is pretty strong, with a decent short time you should be able to pull down your et some more.

Wow.. Sounds like the track prep is non-existent where you guys are..

On the BFG's, you should be able to cut sub 2.0 short times, considering I usually average 2.0's~ 2.1's on Kumho street tires... Many moons ago, I cut a 1.8 on Nitto drags, but promptly nuked the tranny on the 2~3 shift. :sosad:

Then again, that was at Gainesville Raceway & their track prep is phenomenal. :thumb:
 
A couple of months back when i had my gst running i did a 13.02 at 110mph. with slipping clutch. oh i was on my slicks and i pulled a 1.9 60ft. now im just waiting to start my car. should be on a better setup hoping for low 12's high 11's . Lets keep it up guys Lets keep the fwd's going.
 
I've hit consistant 1.9 and 2.0s on Goodyear RS-As. 225/50r16. Of course we are talking an AT. 113 mph with good shifting and a 1.8 60ft is an easy 12. Just learn to feather the clutch and watch the gas until she's ready. Even with my AT 14b car, I had to stay about 80-85 throttle until 40mph or so or she would spin.

Very nice time bro :thumb:
Like someone stated earlier, keep the FWD's going. I am going to be aiming for high 12's myself..i have the setup and traction to get there. LSD Baby!
 
Good run. You 12sec GST guys give us slower GST guys somethen to look forward to. Keep up the good work!
