So, I went out to the local 1/8th mile strip on the weekend, first time ever.
Track and conditions were "terrible" according to the seasoned veterans. Something in the order of a full second off the best it has to offer.
Best I could mange was an 8.5 @ 90MPH, 2.1 60ft (I know right)
Car is MANUAL. My launches were terrible.
Made NO changes from how I drive it on the street eg. Kiddie seats still installed, yes, seriously, just wanted a basic idea of the car's capability.
THE PLAN
Remove excess weight from the car
Purchase FF tune and run e85 (already running Lund tune)
Semi slicks on OEM wheels (I use the car on the circuit too)
QUESTIONS
I'm running AirLift bags, any suggestions on what to do with them to improve the launch? Dampers are set dead middle.
What is the widest tyre you can fit on the OEM wheel without rubbing?
Pressures?
ANY OTHER IDEAS?
If you have some tips or tricks, please feel free to share, I have ZERO experience in drag racing. :cheers:
Thanks in advance. ANY advice will be helpful.
