    Went to the drag strip last night

    I think I did alright considering I'm stock (other then cat back milltek) and the boost issues with my car, I managed a 13.45 @ 104.68mph up at ~6000ft.

    I think I could get it to ~13.2 out here once I get the car running 100%, if thats correct I wonder what it would do at sea level?

    I also finally weighed my car.... Half a tank and with my dry cell battery that saves about 50lbs over stock the car came in at a portly 4280lbs.

    What were your 60ft times? I just got back from the strip, I made 6 passes, with a best of 13.79@104.46mph with a 2.32 60 ft. All 5 other passes were within a hundredth of 13.85. I was kind of disappointed to say the least. I got my 60 fts down to consistent 2.1's but never really got my et back down. This was at an elevation of 850 ft. How were you launching? I tried both brake boosting up to 2000rpm and just mashing the gas at the 2nd bulb but they both yielded the same results.

    As soon as I would be in posisition I would hold the brakes and floor it, this got me to about 2300rpm and help it there for about 2-3 seconds, then light changes and off I go.

    My best 60ft was on that run, 2.103.

    Hmm, our cars should be more than capable of sub 1.8 60ft times. I'll have to screw with it some more.

    do a search for two things

    1. List member name Copper
    2. Drag strip

    He had a very specific tech to launch the car.

    And its not power braking to the point that pu is talking about

    Yeah, I found all of Coppers old posts after I got home from the strip. A little too late, but informative non the less.
