I've been experimenting with drag radials recently and have been to the track 2 weeks in a row with about the same setup. I'm not sure if my best run of 8.59 @ 82 is sufficient, as I'm a little disappointed but have no other comparison to measure against. I'm used to running nitrous, and now I'm back to just running on motor for awhile.
My times were very consistent and mostly in the lower 8.60's with 1.9x 60fts.
Here's 2 time slips but all the rest are very similar...I had a shop owner drive my car as well and he pulled very similar but slightly better mph at 82.5. It was pretty warm last night so I know heat was a factor.
60ft: 1.89
ET: 8.646
MPH: 81.31
60ft: 1.93
ET: 8.639
MPH: 81.66
Car: 99 GT Coupe
mods ran at the track:
275/50/15 Nitto Drag Radials on Weld rims (17-19psi)
Skinnies up front at 33psi
Swaybar removed
Trunk gutted
Rear Seat Delete Kit
Performance:
3.73 gear
C&L Plenum
Accufab 75mm TB
C&L MAF kit
ProM Remote Optimizer
Steeda pullies
Aluminum driveshaft
SPEC stg 2 clutch
Prochamber Hpipe
DynaBat battery in trunk
Line Lock
Tokico 5ways set on #2 setting and Steeda springs
Dyno tuned to peak 256rwhp/294rwtq
So give me some feedback. Is she right on course? Or in need for some improvement? We tried all different types of launching and found slipping the clutch slightly at 3400-3600 to be the best launch without bogging or blowing the tires off.
