My first time at track check out my times GSR motor

GENERAL At The Track
1

This was my first run at any track. Only an 1/8 mile.

My Mods include; B18C1, AEM Cai, Skunk 2 Mainfold, Type R cams, B&M fpr, Comptech header, Greddy SP, B16 J1 tranny with Kaaz LSD, VAfC etc etc.

I had 1/2 tank of gas, full leather interior and tires at 30 psi. Shifted at close to 8k

Reaction: 1.283 (first run ever)
60ft:… 2.477
MPH:… 67.36
ET:…10.581

I know my 60ft times are really bad but i still think i should have got a quicker ET with my mods. Next time i will have no gas and tires at ___psi? What do u guys suggest?

hey ed its joe hows the car ? as for times i my best time was a 9.6 and 2.2 60 ft my average was 9.9 10 flats the san diego stadium track sucks , theres water all over the track because of the v8s dueing burnouts , that 9.6 was with the chipped p28 ecu (shifting at 8500 ), practice thats all i can say and get the car tuned good luck

Hey joe thanks for the reply, the car is running great. I wanted to ask you about that p28 ecu. I put that thing in and the car sounds crazy and my idle is at like 1.7k, i could also smell gas. None of that bothers me cause i would only use that ecu at the track but the cel comes on and stays on and when i drive it i cant rev past 4k or it bogs. I also couldnt get a code unless a lighted cel (no blinks) means ecu.

I would drop it down to at leat 25 psi maybe even 22? I think thats what I set mine at. Once you get those 60’s down you should be below 10. I ran a 10.1 in my 91 RS with an axleback exhaust and new clutch.

5

drop tire pressure to around 12-15

I need some advice for what rpm to launch at. My best 60ft was revving to about 4k and then feathering but that was still a 2.4 . Dumping the clutch at 3k to 5k seemed to give me 2.5’s and up so that sucked. With my mods should i be feathering or dumping? i know i got to just go and try different things but proven methods with mods similar to mine (lsd in particular) would give me an idea of where to start.

7

you only need 3k. floor it and feather if you spin. ive seen front wheels launch like all-wheels using that method.

8

Is this track at high elevation or just an absolutely horrible track? Those mods should get you very close to 8s in the 8th mile I would think. My I/E GSR hit 9.9 with almost your exact same 60’ time.

Also I would shift at at least 8K rpms

:think:
hmm i ran 10.6 with a b16a - chipped ecu, exhaust…

you’ve got manifold, cams, header, intake, LSD, VAFC on me and a b18c. you should be in the 9’s easy. i had full interior, system, tools, and my back seat was full of shit.

i ran a 10.7 when i was completely stock (b16) with gutted interior also.

Damn dude, I pull 10.3’s consistant COMPLETELY bone stock. I have excellent reaction times, and okay 60’. I’m going to the track again with my friends slicks on and I hope to break 9.9’s bone stock. I really need to get my 60’ down and I should be in the 9’s. Keep practicing bro.
