Ran a 17.2 in the neon
:dunno:
he told me he could run high 14s
That’s the difference between bench racing and real racing!
hell no, i was guessing low mid 15’s, but my launches and 60 ft times killed me… and my timing is fucked! i need to advance my from cam a degree or so. i lost power at 5500 
i was very disappointed, but what can ya do? i had alot of fun tho :burnout:
I think we could push it down the track faster? Maybe Quik will hook up a tow line to the Silverado and pull you down faster? Get rid of the stripes to save weight?
:kekegay: ya lose the stripes,
but yes that just shows how bad my timing is off…
its gonna take practice to learn how to launch, i thought it would be easier…
guess not…
i had fun tho
What tire pressure were you using? I had the most luck with 28 PSI (hot). I have a hell of a lot more power than you do, and other than having to drive through the wheel hop, I don’t really have any problems. Are you still on the stock mounts like me?
i was on 25 PSI and i scrufed up the tires a little, i had no wheel hop, and yes im on stock mounts till i put Deyeme mounts in.
my only problem at launching was staging and figureing out exactly how to feather the clutch out so i didnt spin nor chirp and bog down…
i was trying to “shallow stage” most the time, but always pulled a little too far :doh:
man i wanna race, it looks fun. i wouldnt care if i ran a 15 flat my first few runs.
I know that your car is very different, but I just inch up until the stage light comes on, bring the revs up to 2500-3000 (do it by ear basically), then do a very quick slip of the clutch. I’ve never bogged a launch yet, but if I screw it up I wheel hop badly. 2.0 60’ on all season tires on a FWD isn’t too bad I don’t think
i was doing all 2.500 60ft’s i did pull 1 1.900 60ft tho…
it is sooooo different from racing on the street, you have to worry about so much shit when at the track… slim, you’ll suck the first time just like me… everyone i talked to said their first time blew too…
soon as i fix my timing and work on my launches i know i’ll do better. hell! anything is better then a 17.1 :kekegay:
my best was:
R/T = .197
60’ = 2.544
330 = 7.198
1/8 = 11.060
MPH= 64.79
1000 = 14.372
1/4 = 17.159
MPH = 81.23 :down:
1.9 and your car still ran 17.2, its just slow then i wouldnt worry about it
nope my bad, i was lookin at the left lane , that was the cobra :doh: hehe
i ran 2.500 60’s all day
haha
horrible! i need to crawl underneath it again
Well at least you were consistent!
i see you got a pic of yo uand eurodad. anyone get a pic of me?
It’s a neon !!! :jerkit: :jerkit: :jerkit:
doesn’t advancing the cam timing give help lowend and retarding help topend?
