Tuning complete. Time for the track!

[Jay-rod427]

Are you not turning the traction control completely off? I would think completely disabling it would not pull timing, even with traction loss? I would think your making 800rwhp easily.

I will pull the fender plug at the track, but not the street.... Dirty cold streets and substantial power = situation I'd rather not be in.

I just joined this "its so fast its almost stupid" club and I feel EXACTLY like the op..i just gotta wait a little longer than he does for opening day....good luck bro!

Get that 2-step going and I bet 60' picks up a few numbers. No delay on the electronic throttle.

I honestly don't know if I'll get off the line worth a shit with zero suspension work done.... next on the wants list.

No suspension work on my car,100%stock and have hit 1.40 60.ft average 1.44 to 1.46 60 ft.

For sure. The shifts have torque reduction applied, but shifting at 7500 should make some decent steam. Hopefully E85 and more timing should yield half decent mph. Anything under 10.00 is a win for me as I don't want to cage it and all that crap yet. Low 1.50's 60', but run decent mph out the back would be ideal for me.

It will do better than 1.5 60ft if the track is decent. Should be high 1.4 or better. Your shits will get later in 1st if the air is better because the car is going through the gear so fast. Mine is worse because I have a 3.73. The two step did not improve the 60fts on my car but it is nice to have.

Encouraging news. The track should be very good. Not like sweet 16 good, but pretty good early anyways.

Better do that before he gets in the car...could be a stinky ride.
Sorry couldn't resist.

in for times ;)

Well... pretty disappointing. Track was pretty decent really, had just drug and sprayed it before opening time trials. Major spin fest... 1st gear at idle spin to the moon without moving 5 ft. Pedal and spin again, pedal and spin again... 1st gear bring up to like 15001st gear. Spinfest 2.0. Then I tried rolling in throttle super soft spinfest 3.0. Nextup was 2nd gear leaving. Idle to smash it spinfest not quite as bad made it maybe 20 ft... lastly 2nd gear leave slow roll half throttle for prob 2 seconds then wide open and still spun like 100 feet out... that pass yielded an amazing 1.7 60’at half throttle before spinning well after the 60. All said tho second gear baby leave spinning and pedaling went 10.50 @137. I think get it to 60 even low 1.50 cleanly it’s got 140+ in it all day long and then some.

Guess I need Beefcake to sponsor me a few suspension goodies;)

Already got steeda cradle lockouts from last car, and diff bushings from last car. Gonna have to put those and then some on I guess. Too bad flat broke for a while....

Really considering putting stock converter back in until can do suspension work. Jus flashes to 4,000 and rips so hard even in 2nd gear.

I wouldn’t change anything just yet. Big learning curve with a car making 700-800whp. I got about 8 runs in last year on the SC. So I’m in the same boat. Just gotta figure it out. You’ll get it.

What pressure are you running your tires at? Try dropping pressure as you shouldn’t spin like that with MT on decent track prep.

Yea dont change anything yet.It takes time to figure thingz out even though everyone says auto u just hit the gas.Temps could have played a roll and just because they put prep down dont mean it was prepped right.10.5 ajnt bad for the first pass.Had many track days before i got into the 9's.

Track temp was 87 at first hit, and I walked the track it was really decent. I would’ve sent our 3500 hp big tire car down it no prob.

Fun money is pretty slim right now so what would you guys suggest out of this list 1 item? Already have steeda cradle bushing lockouts, and diff bushings. will homemake some BMR style cradle lockouts.

1. shocks
2. springs
3. vertical links
4. toe rods
5. send converter back to tighten up
6. 3.15 gears
7. something else.

Again only budget for one of those and prob not even shocks right now.

@beefcake ?

 

[bluebeastsrt]

Drag shocks are cheap. And DIY. If you can scrape up a little more to spend. Do the struts also. Just so you dont have to do the job twice. Im thinking about viking crusaders. So you can dial in your launch. I really wish strange made something legit for these cars.
