bad day at the track for me

[got v-tec?]

well i went to street leagels last friday. w/ my freshly installed b16 tranny w/ls 5th gear.
before w/my gsr tranny my best was 13.26@102 1.88 60' i would finish at 7300 rpm's in 4th

but my best last friday was 12.81@106 1.92 60' i finished at 8000rpm's in 4th.
i won 4 elimination races and on the 5th race i cracked a piston right as i crossed the finish line. the sad part is i won but could not continue for the very last race, wich if id won id be $50 richer.

but it couldnt of happened at a better time. cause that was the 2nd to last event of the season, and i wsa planning to sleeve my block during winter anyway.

so next year ill be back with golden eagle sleeved block 83mm bore, endyn rollerwave pistons 9.0:1cr, crower billet rods, ect..
gerret t3/t4 t67 nx direct port 50shot
going for 450whp+

u pulled a 1.88 '60?? on a FWD? can ya explain your launching technique?

[chevytrucks92]

Well, those are great track times and you done well to make it to 4 cars, but all of that wear and tear on yoru vehicle for $50?????

better than getting NOTHING... still seems short, but it is better than nothing

Sounds like you have a sick car. 1.8-1.9 sec. 60' is sick for a fwd car. I take it that you are on slicks?

[KrNxRaCer00]

nice times man.

tough break on the piston, but you've got the entire winter for next year.

those 60 foot times are believible. anyways there is a guy that my friend with a turbo LS knows. he has a 92 hatch back with a GSR engine, with cams, intake, open headers ( for track only ) modded torque arms to help launch better, v-tec controller,modded ecu, 9K redline and 12:1 compression ratio. and he ran a best of 12.9 ( he used slicks ) and his average was mid 13 second passes ( on street tires ). however his car is toast. he blew a piston also. i guess thats what happens when try to go n/a. its just soo much strain on the engine if you go that route.
