Today I was on local track where everybody don't have traction
My previous the best time on this track without heads and cam was
2.1 60ft
14.6@92

Today first time after I installed heads and cam without tune on 93 octan and 10* timing and street weight 4015lbs and Nitto DRs tire pressure on 22psi I run
2.1 60ft
13.81@101
No traction at all, spinn tires realy bad in 1st
I think this is good improvment I cut .8 and got 9mph without tune on this track
I have videos too but I have put on server
On August 15th I going on REAL track in Thompson OH where my the best run without heads and cam was 14.1@97 with 2.0 60ft

BTW I run one moded 04 EVO 8 who run 13.98@90 and kill that mofo, I was tryin race in 20 bucks but sisi won't do that

Look at those sissy girls!!!!

How many runs did you get in? Your 60' didn't improve any. Did you launch at the same RPM, or did you raise/lower it?

I can't wait until you get a tune & some traction.

22psi in those Nittos? WAY higher than I would do it for the track. Try something closer to 15psi next time. Should help that 60' time out.

Drop the tire pressure in thoes tires down to 15psi, do a 7-8 second burnout to get them heated up good and your 60' times will get a lot better
times btw
