Well guys, I went to the drag strip for the first time in my life last night. I have been dying to go since I installed the KB 1.7 (intercooled) in October. Below are the results. Please analize my times. I got 6 runs in over a 1 hour 15 minute period.
First let me give you some background info...
--Temp: 90 degrees (high humidity) heat index over 100 degrees
--Drove 30 minutes from my house to the track
--Full tank of gas
--no spare tire
--Nitto Drag Radials at 32 psi (since this was my first time at the track, I wanted to just get a feel for it and not lower my tire pressure)
--Did not do a burn out. Went through the water box and spun the tires for a few seconds to clean off.
--Launched at idle all 6 runs
--very little cool down between runs (hood not open)
1st run
R/T: 1.214
60ft: 2.085
1/8: 8.8
MPH: 82.9
2nd run
R/T: .791
60ft: 2.090
1/8: 8.7
MPH: 84.72
3rd run (spun all of first gear)
R/T: 1.054
60ft: 2.167
1/8: 8.8
MPH: 84.69
4th run (spun all of first gear)
R/T: .816
60ft: 2.213
1/8: 8.9
MPH: 84.52
5th run (**Best Run**)
R/T: .913
60ft: 1.948
1/8: 8.5
MPH: 85.20
6th run
R/T: .878
60ft: 1.983
1/8: 8.6
MPH: 84.76
For my first time out I don't think I did too bad. I would really like to practice some more and get my times down. I had so much fun racing though. This can definately be addicting. I met some really nice people that were more than happy to give some pointers to the "new guy". I would like to go to a 1/4 mile track sometime soon. The 1/8 mile was over before I had a chance to even blink.
FYI...my car is making 411rwhp/423rwtq.
