Track Results

Finally made it to the track this week. I was pretty pleased with the results. As you can tell by the 60' times I need a little more practice but the car is deffinately capable of higher times. I got to run 5 times but Im only posting up the 3 best slips. The other 2 I either missed a gear or screwed the launch up bad. I have videos of all of my runs so those will be up in a few days.

I logged each run with megasquirt so I could review them afterwards. Boost peaked at 18.5psi each run and AFs stayed in the low 11s most of the time. I wanted to turn up the boost a little more but the injectors were damn close to being maxed out so that didn't happen. Hopefully I will have some bigger ones in there soon and up the boost a couple psi and see if it will run any faster.

Maybe next year I will get a good pair of slicks and go for 12s. Wont be hard at all if I can get that 60' down to a 1.8 or so.

Sweet. I want to see this videos.

What was the weather like? Hot?

Was around 70* I believe. Towards the end of the evening. It had to be around 85* before the sun set. It was a great night to run.

That mph is huge for that time. Also I thought you did a 13.7

No I missed it but a few hundreths. Maybe next time, the car has alot more petential than what I ran. I was looking at some times posted on tuners and the awd cars that trap that kind of speed run high to mid 12s. So even on a good launch on street tires (2.2) I would be in the mid 13s. Then on slicks with a launch of (1.8) would put me in the high 12s. Add some more boost and the car will be fast...

Nice work. :) Good to see more potential in the setup too.

Videos are uploading... I only got my first 3 runs right now. The other two I lost to a mustang and a Z06 that was running mid 12s or something. So my best time is not on here but that fine.

Photobucket quality sucks so if your friends with me on facebook you can check them out there and they look better.

Does your 1st gear suck? Looks like you're completely bogging or just have no power.

The first video... "the turbo kicked in..." I lol-ed at work.

Car has tons of power in first. Either I bog from not enough gas or just spin the hell out of the tires. My one good launch I dont have on video yet. I dont know if they even got that run. I just need more practice, that was my first time at the track this year so I was trying to figure out what the best way to launch was.

Nice job, 13.8 is a very respectable time. 107 is pretty fast trap speed. Looks to me like your 60' wasnt that bad but the 1/8 seems pretty slow. Its been along time since Ive raced so I cant remeber any of my 60's to compare to.

Heres a pic I found from the track day.
