It was my friend time at the track this season. I didn't bring any slicks because I wanted to see what my 60ft would be before I do full coil overs and 10 way adjustables. I have eibach sportline on with KYB drop shocks and it sucks ballz. I get no weight transfer from them.

I blew my trans/clutch/flywheel on my last run. When I hit 4th a cloud of black smoke came from the trans area. That is what we seen on tape, it did look pretty kool. I was like ooo damn I broke my car at the track I got a slow race car.

I was on nitto 275dr at 19psi launching at 4500RPM I got a 2.26 60ft, 13.55 at 108.3mph reving to 5.800rpm. I was happy with that time because my car went side ways in 2nd and just stayed on it. I thought it was going to be my last run. This didn't have the car ready for nitrious at the time. Hell even if i did I wouldnt have used it.

I have no idea why I couldn't take it to 6800k or even the stock gt rev limiter which is 6250rpm. I have been messin around with my car with my friends when it was over heating so that may explain it.

Its really weird how I would get the best timing out of the car over 4k. I launched the car at 2000-3500rpm but 4k+ was the best. I found it easier playing with one power level then two. What i mean by this is that if i hooked the car at 2500 then feeling that it hooked and hammer it I would spin the tires as soon as i hit 4k.

Will be selling the suspension soon if anyone is interested in just dropping there car. Almost 10,000 miles on springs,shocks,struts.

NM seen No N20. And sorry to hear BTW thats FAST for a 5800RPM shift! Do you have a stock 4V with just exhaust and a CAI? I think they like to be moved to 6500ish, so it will probably go 110-111 when its all right.

Lol you guys are funny as hell. OMG post video...I'm going to call my friend tomorrow and see if he'll give me the video. I don't know if i wanna show it because you'll be like..."I think he missed every gear?" My shift light wasnt working and i was trying to shift off of that.

I don't know if you wanna drop it more then 19psi on street tires even though they are DR. From what i have seen my car assuming its at 100% <which no ones car is ever at 100%> will trap 110-113mph. I think that is pretty good for the mods that i have. Mods are listed in sticky.

To get your MPH that high on a 13.55, you must be spinning your tires quite a bit. Most cars trapping at 108 are going to be deep in the 12's. Might be time for new drag radials after you get your tranny fixed.

DR's are a different breed than regular street tires in this regard.. you will see an improvement by dropping them.your 19 psi isnt much under what I run in them on the street lol. gotta be ready at all times ya know.(25psi)

i noticed a considerable improvement from 16 to 12 psi

Crap 14-16psi huh...

Called the trans shop its going to be done tomorrow. I blew the clutch, flywheels gone, and this sounded crazy to me, I bent the shift fork in 3/4 and messed up the syncros in those 2 gears. \

I'm sure that suspension is hurting me bad. When I had the stock suspension I would hook so hard but now I just spinning. When I make my new track video I'll show you guys the difference between the Eibach Sportline springs and kyb shocks/struts vs the Coil overs/10way adjustables.

I have a buddy that works at Strange and i'm get there full coil over kit with the 10way adjustables in 2 weeks. Next time I head to the track i'm going to be on some M/Ts, and spraying it to 6500rpm. I'm not going to post a thread unless I have the video and time slip to post. Without those two things threads usually suck. ;p
