Well this past Friday night I took the vette up to the 1/4. I was kind of disappointed at the results, but I think they are mostly driver error (me sucking at launch) or crappy track conditions. The best run I could pull off with the vette was a 13.2/60’-2.3/trap 110mph…I was really hoping to hits 12’s but its was still fun. There where a ton of mustangs there. There were also a buncho sti’s/evos. The sti’s where running high 13’s low 14’s! Whats with that? I thought they ran close to the ls1’s? The fastest subie out there was a wrx running 12.8xx. I’ll be trying to get up there, maybe when there are less cars to practice a little. It seemed like I could hook up better on the street then at the track:rant:. Anyways the bbk throttle body and nos should be on by the end of this week and i’ll try to get back up at the track and she what she will do…

Maybe you should get tires and drive better before you spray your way to mid 12s with a high trap in your current configuration…

IRS is VERY hard to get a good launch on a track …

my best 60 foot was 2.3, it was horrible…I was spinning out second…I’ve come to the conclusion that the track was in bad shape…just due to the fact that I don’t spin 2nd on the ever and 1st only if i try…but that was also the first time I’ve ever had her on the track…i’ll get the full print outs later today when i get home…i’m the suck

how were you launching?

drop or feather?
how much were you heating up the tires?
and when did you want me to take it down the track for you 🙂 ?

i haven’t paid for a haircut in years.
also, the sti drivers probably just sucked at driving, i really need to get mine to a track though, so i can be more than just talk. I’ve heard that the 13.2 numbers that get kicked around are a bit “inflated” so to speak.

I dont think I saw what brand drag radials you’re using but, I found out that the Nitto 555R’s need ALOT of heat to get sticky, like in a good 5sec.+ burnout. I still only got a 1.9 on a FWD car with lots of tq. on mine.

drop it at about 2800 to 3k it’ll bog for a second but you’ll see better 60 foot times and better times all around and the clutch won’t heat up as much helping with shifts
