Mods in my sig.

I'll let you guys know how it went when I get back.

what times r u looking for?.

[krazy6]

Alright, got back a little while ago. I ran a 9.2 in the 1/8.
This converted to a 1/4 run is a 14.3.
This was with a 2.2 60ft as well, so it has more in it.

not bad man! that's pretty good! what were you trapping in the 1/8th??

[krazy6]

Here is the info from the slips:

1st run:
60' 2.326
330 6.220
1/8 9.359
MPH 78.63
Very very soft launch

2nd run:
60' 2.269
330 6.173
1/8 9.327
MPH 78.25
Harder launch, slight wheelspin.

3rd run:
60' 2.344
330 6.293
1/8 9.578
MPH 75.30
Same launch as before but the car decided to spin a lot. Then I missed third gear, but put it back in pretty quickly.

4th run:
60' 2.281
330 6.179
1/8 9.320
MPH 78.54
Same launch but stuck pretty well. Slight wheelspin.

5th run and the best:
60' 2.228
330 6.114
1/8 9.261
MPH 78.43
Same launch again and had no wheelspin. I was pretty damn excited after I saw the slip.

Nice 60ft times! How do you calculate it to the 1/4mi times?

First time? Did you get to race any cool cars?

Damn, do you really consider that a good 60ft time? 2.2 is still pretty crappy imo.

It was my first time at the track in the maxima. I have been to this track like 20 times though.

I raced a 3.5 Altima with an intake, headers and exhaust that went 9.0.
Cool guy too.

[Apollos2]

My 60ft time usually stinks, avg 2.5, best 2.48 or something like that. If I could hit the 2.2 range that would be sweet.

[krazy6]

Do you have an auto or a manual?

What worked pretty well was just letting out the clutch normally, and then flooring it once the clutch was all the way out.
I didn't launch at like 3,000rpm or anything, just went off idle.

Just try babying it off the line. No sense in spinning the tires.
Put the pedal down like half way at first, then floor it after you build up enough speed to not break traction. That should get you some better times.
