i feel slow

[97wvmax]

went to the track last night and best i did was a 16.3, i was like the slowest car out there, next to the old ass buick with the drunk guys nefew driving and i think the 3000gt wasnt doin so hot either!

What altitude are you at? What were your 60's?

[97wvmax]

best run outta 5 was:

reaction .570
60 2.434
330 6.84
1/8 10.432
1/8 mph 67.82
1/4 16.302
1/4 mph 81.48


i was hittin like 85 mph before, but times were worse. that run i put up was alone becuz car that was supposed to go with me backed out during the rain delay we had(one of several) then again the only engine mod i have is CAI, so i guess i did ok. that and i cant start for shit

[zeff789]

Yeah, you should work on your starts. I've seen 2.2 60' times. I'm up at 5000 or so feet so thats what I expect to run (maybe a 15.9) with my hybrid intake and y-pipe, maybe a little lower with my new JWT ecu

what would be the best way for an automatic to start off the line without Neutral dropping it?

[97wvmax]

guy i was with was drivin a max and it used to me auto, i asked him bout power braking and said it wasnt worth a shit. i wouldnt do the drop thing either, that would fuck up ur tranny. i jus got to the line and hit the gas when the light changed. the guy i was with put a 5 speed in and has MEVI plus 100 shot of nitrous he was running last night and was gettin into the high 13's. i raced him my first drag ever, so easy to say he tore my ass to peices :smoka:

[FarbsMaxima]

Its funn that a guy with nitrous only gets high 13's
There is a guy on hte org with a 5spd 4thgen mevie and ypipe and ecu I think and runs 13.6 I think.

[97wvmax]

hes running strait stock exhaust too

[pollochicken]

But isin't a Maxima of that year supposed to hit the high 15's stock??? Even for an auto??

a wet track doesn't create the best conditions for racing...kinda hurts traction a little bit

we gotta 14.4 1/4 outta mine with just a wai and stillen cat-back. can't wait to go back this season now that i got my y. that's not a bad reaction time though. you probably lose all of that extra time while the car's shifting

Manually shift. 1(start-25) to 2(25-35) to drive(35-all the way up).

yeah and if the 4th gen auto's have the option, turn off o/d til you redline 3rd, then click it on.

[97wvmax]

well 1 my OD button hasnt worked since i owned the car, and i dont wanna do that manual shifting stuff. i almost redline without doin that, so it would be kinda worthless
