redhotcomet said:I had a really good day. It was my first time racing, so I'm just happy I didn't break anything or do something stupid, lol. Managed a best of 15.6 @ 88, which was about what I was expecting. I think the AOD is really holding me back, but I am lovin the mileage.
Erin (Girl22?) recognized my car and introduced herself, but I didn't get to meet anyone else. There were a ton of cars there, I think I heard the announcer say over 120?
A 12.2???? That is hauling! That's awesome for a 4.6 with some juice. You did way better than most people their first time. Nice run on the 14.6Silvr04GT said:It was a good afternoon of racing. Russ ran a 12.2 and could have run a high 11 by his estimation but his clutch gave out. Kevin drove my car on it's first pass to show me how it was done, he clicked off a 14.603 @ 96.041. I then proceeded to run a 15.392 @ 93.742, then a 15.037 @ 94.222, then a 15.467 @ 96.351, and my final run was a 14.617 @ 95.067. I almost beat Kevin's time so that was awesome! All in all it was a fun day. My last run could have been faster but I had a passenger along for the ride, as I did for all but one pass.
175 shotRed2000GT said:I think I was wrong about the clutch. As it turns out I burnt two spark plugs(guess 1 step colder wasn't enough for the 175 shot). I only noticed that the car wasn't accelerating nearly as hard and I assumed it was the clutch but,it was just the car completely missing on 2 cylinders and loading up on the rest. I'm still gonna replace it cause it definately was slipping last time out. But yeah,I completely let off the gas the last 150-200 feet of the track so I'm quite sure if it had held it would have been a 12.0 or maybe an 11.9. Guess we'll have to wait till next year and see!
WOT said:Damn Russ get that thing tuned before you have new pistons in your future again. If you melted 2 plugs you were very lean.
TweekedGT said:That's exactly what I was thinking. You guys who are running nitrous, do you change your plugs at the track or do you always run colder on the street too? If you do run the colder plugs on the street does it hamper performance much?
Green4.6GT said:youre supposed to run colder plugs anytime you spray, so if you never use it on the street, you can run normal plugs.. but i know someone with a red GT, that uses nitrous on the way to work
