Wuz Up

Just got back from track and got some good times. This was my first time at the track. I have a 97 vr-4 with 14psi, stillen downpipe, intake, bov. My first run i got a 13.51 and then i got 13.421 101.86, then 13.225 at 104.3 mph, then my final run i got 13.191 at 100.60 mph. my best 60ft was 1.866 and my best reaction time was .011. i think thats real good runs for first time at the track. Tell me what u guyz think???

I will post the time slips later on.

Very respectable for your first time at the track.

Thx.

Agreed, quite good for your first time. Don't you have a new clutch? How were you launching? With more time at the track, you'll be able to shave a bit of that 60', and lower your ETs a few tenths... But again, very nice for your first time.

[G35turbo]

ya new clutch. all of them where between 4k to 5k i think, i dident really look at gauge a whole lot because i was trying to get my timing right.

[Igovert500]

Were you dumping it or slipping it? Definantly practice your launch because when you get your 60' in the 1.7s you will be in the 12s

[G35turbo]

i try to slipit most of the time
which is better slip or just droping it?

[Igovert500]

I used to think dumping was, now I'm slipping it. If done right it 'preloads' the drivetrain a bit and isn't as hard on the t-case. Also, I think it gets you out of the hole quicker, just make sure not to release it too slowly or you will burn your clutch.

[G35turbo]

ya thats what i thought to, it feels like u put a lot less pressure on to your t-case, but dude i rather go and burn a clutch rather than busting my t-case or mess up my tranny.
