Baby steps, new PB - 14.31@99.34mph
Finally got a new PB today. The weather was some of the best I've seen in KC with a DA of near sea level.
Conditions:
Upper 40s/low 50s
60-70% humidity
30.5 baro
1100' elevation (actual)
I still suck running on the DRs and still haven't figured out the best launch. I still spin a lot all thru 1st with my 60 foots hanging in the upper 2.1s and one 2.27. Maybe it was the temps or maybe it's me getting to greedy with the throttle and launch (4000-4500rpms). I only ran 4 times the whole day thanks to cars breaking down on the track and their dipsh!t owners continuing on down the track when their suppose to immediately slow down and pull off to the side of the track. Thanks to their stupidity they coated the lanes in lot of oil.
My goal was to beat my 14.40 and I did it, barely.
60' 2.182
330' 6.053
1/8 9.268
MPH 78.19
1000' 12.040
1/4 14.310
MPH 99.34
I also ran two 14.4s and a 14.5 and all my MPHs were above 98mph today. Today I experimented with shifting into 4th at ~6700-6800rpm (basically right before the finish). According to my calculated shift points, the ideal 3-4 gear change would be at 6700-6800rpms. I guess it wasn't to be because I was .05-.06 and .5mph+ slower on those runs.
My mods:
MEVI 5200rpm switchover
JWT ECU 7000rpm limiter
WSP non-mandrel y-pipe
2001 Maxima muffler
HKS intake/stock intake resonator
225/50R15 BFG DRs
no passenger seat/spare
1/4 tank of 94 octane

Good ET's and great traps Dave. Thanks for trying out the 3-4 shift.
I really think the DR's need to be warmed up. A fellow org member got a good vid of me at the track last weekend and you can see my tires spin like crazy for the 1st 15 feet or so then hook, I would still muster a mid 2.1 60'. If I were to hook from the get go I would have a low 2.0 no problem. 2.0 60' = 13 sec run.

Yhea, I owned slicks for a few months I got from Nealoc187. Burnt my clutch up real bad with them. It was mostly my fault, but I switched to DR's anyhow.

99mph trap speed is awesome. really nice times
i know this maybe silly but at the track i go to they give you a "100MPH Club" sticker when you trap more than 100mph in the 1320. do you guys get that are your tracks?

Nice job to you too. Seems the colder weather is bringing everone's times down a bit. Those 225/50/15's are pretty short to hold 3rd (ok, maybe fine with MEVI). I tried the 3-4 shift once and although the ET was the same my trap speed was cut by 3mph.
Just saw that BFG sells a 235/60/15 drag radial also. That might be ideal at 26.1"diam for holding 3rd.

Dave, are you heating up your DRs? If not, then you are not coming close to their full potential. You'll find that a 2-3 second burnout does wonders for your 60' time.
For me, I will only get 2.25s without a burnout, chirping the tires off the line several times. When I do a small burnout, it pulls me out of the water box b/c they get so sticky. Then, I can cut 2.17-2.19s without a single chirp of the tires.

heat em up

i dont think he new engine or headers like him either....or are they doing better?
Nice runs dave. It was a shocker for me to see that you got below that 14.4 finally! Im really liking the trap speed. Great going
