Denver colorado race at bandimere.

 

[Sonicblue_s197]

Right on man me too I live up in ft Collins, u running those times n/a? That's fast up here

 

[07graygt]

Yes sir. I had a guy checking out my car last week at the track. He couldn't believe that it was all motor. This was after I blew the doors off a gt 500 lol. It's fast but I really want to get into the twelves. If the temps would drop down a bit I know I could get there but this 90* weather is killing me. I usually race on Friday nights I do the pennzoil et series and club clash.

 

[Sonicblue_s197]

That's quick man good deal, them 5.0's and gt500's can't seem to get out of the 14's and 13's lol I ran 13.8 was my best n/a on my 05 with just Cai, full exaust, 4.10's, tune , bmr suspension and the scrappy nitto 555's.

My cars had belt alignment issues so iv been running my eco boost, Il keep an eye out for ur car, what color is it?

 

[07graygt]

It's tungsten gray no spoiler bullet wheels.

 

[Sonicblue_s197]

Right on man I'm hoping I can have my car ready for the KBPI car show at bandimire

 

[07graygt]

I'm hoping I can make it to that one too. So since everyone says no to the second gear launch, what should I launch at in first? Right now I'm taking to about 5500 give or take. Can I take it up to 6500? Or should I go about 6000.

 

[07graygt]

Also wanted to add my 60' are always 1.8x every now and then ill cut a 1.7 but that is few and far between. I'm usually setting tire pressure to 18psi, I'm thinking about going up to about 22psi to try and get a little spin. I'm thinking that my tires are sticking to good and bogging down the motor.

 

[ArtQ]

Go till it stops sticking or if your in competition, before you start red lighting.

 

[NotQuik]

^^ Agreed

When I first went from eibach prokit springs to BMR's I was launching about 6500 and the car dead hooked...needless to say my 60' suffered (Low 1.9's high 1.8's). I ended up increasing tire pressure and usually launch about 55-6500 depending on track conditions. Best so far was a 1.72 with just alittle bit of tire spin. You have the right idea man...just trial and error.

I understand you wanting more out of your combo. What I am not following is what are you really expecting out of it? Your DA is at 9000+ like you said. You are not racing in Air for gods sake!

 

[07graygt]

I want to get into the 12's and stay there. I don't want to be like oh this one time I ran a 12.xx and then be running 13.xx. I've thought about pulling the pass seat and back seat to drop a few more pounds but I kinda feel like that's cheating cuz that is not the way I drive it.

 

[fdjizm]

Cheating against who? it's your car... lol
If you're not doing everything you can to beat your best time everytime out, you're just cheating yourself.

 

[Wicked GT]

True Dat!

 

[07graygt]

Well I took out the back and pass seats. Gonna try and air up the fronts to 40psi and set the rears to 22. Hopefully I can break into the 12's tonight. As long as it doesn't rain lol.

 

[NotQuik]

You certainly have the mph..good luck!

 

[Black_MagicGT]

Good luck! Let us know!
