Paxton Supercharged First time at the Track

[JRodSan]

Took the car to the track to get some shakedown passes. DA was at around 2200. My best two passes are on the photo and there's a link to a youtube video we made out of the evening if you are interested

My 60's are all over the place as I am an above knee amputee (left leg) and I'm figuring out how hard to hold the brake with it and how fast to take it off the brake on the launch hehe.

Ran the car full weight with 305/35/19 Nitto NT05R tires that I daily and daily 93 octane tune. Trans shifting at 7200rpm and I was spinning here and there. Was a good first day!!! Can't wait to get some 305/45/17 MT R tires, and add some boostane/tune! Also, tune has been revised now that I feel more comfortable and reving it 'to the moon"

Good deal! What degrees of timing are you seeing on your tune? I went E85 thinking it would get me to my goal without going catless headers but im being told that stock manifolda are restricting me from more than 22 degrees on E85

Keep chipping away at it.

That’s tuning and many variables vs how much boost you run too. I don’t know much about it, I just ask lund what can we do with the data and numbers provided to do better. Also, I pay more attention on the car running similar times to other cars with the same set up. I was on 93oct tune too with no additives so I believe less timing than with e85.

Awesome thanks! I'll be watching your times with interest since im still doing clutch and suspension so probably next year before I see how the same kit as yours does.

For what it’s worth, our times are looking similar, even though this was a roll event (I spun like crazy every pass and everyone was trapping what they would trap in a regular drag 1/4). Only difference is I was on e-85 on the 3.48 pulley at the time, and I’m manual.

Imo if you dial it in a bit and go on e, you have a 9 second car there.

Nice! You definitely driving it!

and yes the car was shifting at 7200rpm and I already got an updated tune shifting higher. Can’t wait to go back with a better tire and the boostane tune. Like you said I think it has a 9s pass in it too.

Oh wow ported 18 mani definitely should be shifting much higher. You’re making peak power probably at like 7200-7400. I’m guessing they’ll set your shift point at like 7500-7600? Should make a tenth or two of a difference.

Good luck on your next outing.

Yes! It’s shifting up there now thanks!

Thanks! and yes , most definitely!

With the 3.55 gears, you must be in the bottom of 4th gear as you pass the traps. With a smaller tire, you may be able to use most of 4th gear before you pass the traps. Im in the same situation.

Yes I believe I was. I will look into this. Thank you!

That car is crossing the traps at around 6800 in 4th with 3.55. Don’t swap to a 26” tire. It will make traction worse.

I was putting in the numbers to calculate it last night and got about the same result. When I get a chance today I’ll look at the logs and see. Thanks!
