Why am I so slow

[kwadkins]

Hello, tonight was my first night at the track. I ran a 13.64 with a 2.3 60 foot and 110 mph trap. I have a Paxton 1200 novi, stock tires, a meth injection kit. Hep me get into 12s please

Tires

 

[stkjock]

2.3 60' and stock tires. That's why

 

[kwadkins]

So you don't think it's a problem with my supercharger set up. I'm alittle disappointed after spending a lot of money on it

 

[stkjock]

Get a tire and then u can see.

Cut a 1.7 60' and that should put you in the upper 12s easy

What tune and mods besides the novi?

 

[Jason09GT]

That thing needs more than a tire. Unless you couldn't give it more than 1/4 throttle the whole pass, your traps should be considerably higher. What was your 1/8th e.t., and trap?? If I had a blower on even a bone stock 3v car, I would be shooting for mych faster than high 12's. Hell, my old 09 3v car with axle backs, intake, and tune trapped 108-109 on stock pirelli tires.

It has off road H pipe, 39 lbs injectors, BAP, it has an email tune from brenspeed. That's where I bought the package. I'm very confused because my buddy's stock 3v ran a 13.4

 

[utm18]

Like 09gt said need more info. Trap speed, supporting mods

 

[BleedinBlue]

Tires + driver. That should be a mid-high 11 second car, but there are too many variables for us to definitively say there is something wrong with the car. I'm voting the most likely problems.

MPH is strong. My stockish Na 3v runs 13.4-13.5 but only traps 105. You need tires and a better launch. Feather the clutch out its gotta be spinning bad.

 

[Boaisy]

What it looks like is that the beginning part of the run is probably hurting you. When I was running 12.8's-13.2's I would trap around 110-115 mph with the avg 60' being 2.0.

As most others have said, probably tires and driver mod. Even with street tires, it should be possible to get high 1.X 60' times.

 

[kwadkins]

Thanks a lot guys. I'm sure it's my driving. This was my first time out. I'm going to go next week and see what I get. Any recommendations for a street strip tire. This isn't a daily driver BTW

 

[stkjock]

will you drive on a DR?

if so, MT or M&H

My first time at the track in my stock '14, I ran like a 13.1@109 with a 2.33 60' . 1/8th was a 8.4@84mph. Traction control was off, but advancetrac was on, and was fighting me. I also shifted at right around 6k. No tune, and quiet car, I didn't want to hit the limiter. My next pass, advance trac, and trac control 100% off, I had an identical 60', but ran an 8.9@90mph in the 1/8th, no quarter print out. That track only runs 1/8th mile, and clocks only give 1/8th time, so you write 1/4 mile on your tech card, and your time slip will give you 1/4 mile. But apparentoy, that's only good for one run. I know the car had more in it, my mph increased almost 6 full mph from more aggressive driving, and not having the computer fighting me. I really wish I could have got a time slip, because even though I launched much much softer...it pulled like a banshee once it got moving.

The second run, there was an automatic 2011 car I was racing. He had x pipe, roush axlebacks, and a 93 bama tune, and he was trapping 111 that night. I was running him down hard on that second run..I ran through the traps right on his back bumper.

Get a good set of DR's, lca's, gears, and practice

 

[Deez-67]

You should be in mid to low 12s with that kind of trap speed IMO. TIRES!

I ran a 12.6 NA with a my bolt-on car on DRs and my 60' wasn't very good.

My Vortech V2'd '07 GT trapped 113 and ran 11.80's. It all comes down to traction and launching, as others have said. Properly heated drag radials should get your 60' times down to the 1.6 to 1.7 range, and get your 1/4 mile ET's deep into the 12's.

 

[Brezick]

On street tires, my first hit with the kenne bell at 8lbs and ~430rwhp I did a 12.2@112 with something like a 1.9 60'

Just need more seat time and learn how the car likes to launch. Better tires would be much better. Just adding a cheap set of DR i pulled 11.8@113 with a 1.7 60'.

Are you spinning out of the hole or is it bogging? Auto or manual? What was your 1/8th and mph? 110 mph is easily enough for 12s, the 2.3 60' is your problem.
