My track times good or bad?

[eric88gt]

I have a 2001 gt five speed with a mac prochamber, magnaflow mufflers, richmond 4:10s, diablo predator and a k&n and my best time was a 13.78 at 102 mph. Is this about what it should run or am i a little bit off? Oh yeah this was on bfg kdws 275/40/17's

 

[Hiltonizer]

omg where is the track? jupiter!?

j/k not to shabby... I bet you can squeeze out a few more tenths especially with those KDW's

 

[GTorGSXR]

List all the numbers from the time slip

 

[eric88gt]

r/t= .340 60'= 2.09 330= 5.89 1/8= 8.95 @80.6 1000ft= 11.57 1/4 = 13.78 @102.30. I'm in northern Minnesota btw

ET seems pretty good, trap is really good. Heck you out trapped me, but its odd I did the 1/8 in 8.69 @ 80.86, the 1/4 in 13.58 @ 100.29. My 1/8 trap was higher, but my 1/4 trap was way lower LOL. We did have a 20-25MPH head wind though. BTW I pulled a 1.909 60' on my very first pass on the 285s with a 3200RPM launch. So I say that you should work on the launch.

I agree with HotMustang, you're 60' seems a little high considering 4.10's and your other mods.. Are you spinning off the line? You could probably improve by a few tenths, not that I could do better .

 

[oohsoobad2]

With 4.10's, Nitto DR's and a few other mods I ran 13.40@103 with a 1.97 60 ft.
This was in a 99 GT 5 speed.

 

[eric88gt]

Yeah it spun pretty bad so drag radials are the next thing on my list of things to get. I just bought two 16 inch wheels off of a '94 gt so i'm just gonna buy some for those wheels and just chage them at the track.

 

[Darkhorse845]

That time seems decent.If your looking into drag radails you
should seriously consider Nitto drag radails because they hook
and stick to the track great when warm or hot.
Nitto's

I've actully been thinking about getting some of those new mickey thompson drag radials. Anybody got any opinions on those or heard anything good or bad about them?

Drag radials? You mean the ET Streets? I assure you those are in no way radial . They're basically slicks with a couple lines to make them DOT legal. I'm sure they hook extremely well.

 

[oohsoobad2]

Nope. Mickey Thompson has a new ET street drag radial. They are supposed to hook pretty damn good, but wont last as long as a Nitto or BFG.

 

[eric88gt]

Well I'll only be using them at the track because i have two seperate wheels just for them so i'm not real concerned with how long they will last just how good they hook.

Your correct the Nitto's will last longer and
hook we'll also!

from what i've been seeing(and hearing) the new et streets are much better than the nittos!

I disgree bigtime!

 

[DropTopPony]

I disgree bigtime!

and you've run both? or been to the track with guys who have? i've talked to guys here at the track who are knocking off 2-3 tenths of their 60' times when switching to the et radial from nittos...

r/t= .340 60'= 2.09 330= 5.89 1/8= 8.95 @80.6 1000ft= 11.57 1/4 = 13.78 @102.30. I'm in northern Minnesota btw

go get the weather info from that night. you had a ok 60 foot and your MPH is where it should be. but your ET is a little off. i bet your upshifts are a little slow. or your not powershifting at all. and a tin bit harder out of the hole and you will get a 13.5 or so.

Nittos hook the worst out of the drag radials sold now. but they are the mos streetable.. once again you are wrong.

 

[Jackie Chan]

I disgree bigtime!

how do you type with your head up your ass all the time?? I can cut better 60's on street tires than most guys do on nittos
