Some 1/8 runs

Heres the vid of Greg and I's run. I see cj springs in my future for sure!, my street suspension setup transfers next to no weight at the track, besides the fact i cant build boost at the line and it bogs bad out the hole. Gregs launches awesome with the cj's and koni shocks!!!!

ALmost caught him, needed a lil more track than 1/8 mile!

And heres a vid of me vs a nova, still a crappy 2.2sec 60ft bogged hard managed a 8.2 @ 98mph and then after that is Jeff weeks piloting gregs car to a 7.6 @ 92!

Looks like you need a two step at the line to build that boost up, good mph though.

Yeah for sure, considering a wot box.

Yea +1 on the wot box! Looked like a great time Lightblade!

Always nice to see verts on the track.

nice man. def. get he wot box it will help you a bunch. also get the cj springs and drag radials.

Nice runs guys!

Yeah it was fun! We didnt get alot of runs in but it was great weather and i got a better et every run so cant complain there.

He was running the Nitto 555R's...we played with the pressure to see if it helped on the launches.

What track is that?

get mickey thompsons nittos are more of a street tire.

Shit if im boggin 555r dr's, i will def bog mt's!
My car is 99% a street car/setup anyway.
My goals or just a sub 7.X in the 1/8 and an 11.X in the 1/4.

I"m getting there as i was raising my launch rpm everytime just to get the feel for it and every run still bogged bad but got slightly better.

18-20 psi in the nittos
1st run 2000rpm launch 2.3sec 60ft end of 2nd got squirely let off then got back in it
8.9 @ 89mph
2nd run 3000rpm launch 2.2sec 60ft 8.2 @ 98mph
3rd run 3500rpm launch 2.1sec 60ft 8.1 @ 96mph

If i had more time to find the right rpm for these nittos so i wouldnt bog so bad my times would have surely went down from there. All in all a succesful test and tune, my next time out im going to try 4000rpm and go up from there. When i cut a sub 2.0 sec 60 i will get into the 7's.

I am def going ot get some cj's for some kind of weight transfer and get alittle ride height back.

Still on the fence for the wot box as it really is a street car still.

get it. mine is more of a street car that i will take to the track and i love the wot box for playing around on the streets. it is worth every penny.

Def time for a wot box and 2 step, that 98mph trap is good for bottom 11s even high 10s

Kinda rough rule of thumb i heard was 100mph in 1/8 is good to break into a 10 in the 1/4.

I will consider the wot box some more, i have other things i want to do before i get a box to help me drive the car lol.

remember it's all dependent on how well you can hook and how good your 60ft is, I've seen people go 6.9 at under 100mph and hit 10.8s

maybe in a auto. lol

Nice runs....your car is so damn quiet compared to Gregs....those turbos do a wonder on the exhaust. Those CJ springs seem to be the ticket. Gregs car just goes....regardless of traction, car sounds badass and runs pretty damn good too.
