Went to the drag strip last night

[p3u]

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. :applause:

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

something about pressing the pedal three quarters of the way wasn't it?

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

Here's the links to a couple of Coppers old threads. He was running 1.6 60ft times. Absolutely phenomenal:incar:
