Best e.t at track, impressive....

Coupe50h · 10-24-2002, 01:44 PM

Well i can officially say my car runs low mid 13's...

it was humid out last night, with 25 psi in the e.t streets i cut a decent 60' launch at 3500 (no ice down), drove a lil more aggressive on the shifter and run 13.4, only thing i added was some shortie headers and a kk clutch, also removed quad shocks, to all that say 1-5/8 headers, and cutting tailpipes will hurt the e.t, are wrong, at least in my case.

Im shooting for a 12.9 with same setup, but with lakewood shocks, aftermarket uca's lca's, 1.7 rr's and 373 grs, i bet i can do it with a 5k launch, And stock ole high mileage 5oh

later....

what were your 60fts? 25psi sounds awful high for ET streets

Coupe50h · 10-24-2002, 04:38 PM

25psi, because i drove to the track, it was rainy the day before so i had a few scary moments

my 60' on that run was 1.88, i really just simply forgot to lower tire pressure, the tires didnt hook as good as they have before, but i could tell they bit hard enough for the guy at the booth to tell me to get a helmet.

btw, i drive my car to the track every week because i dont live that far, if i did id swap at the track.

Drive to the track at 25psi, then let them down to 13-14psi. Then fill them back up before you leave. If you live close enough, dont even fill them up till you get home. I know all about driving in the rain on ET Streets. It sucks!

Nice run... what was your mph on that run? You still come to sm for street races?

Coupe50h · 10-25-2002, 05:18 PM

on my best 1/4, my mph was 99.77, but on an iced intk last yr i went 99.80 before the headers.

fivepointo, no it's not much happenning that i know of, but usually always some younger dudes ricing around out there, there is a pretty fast wrx out in sm, and a bigblock camaro, when i get a bottle i might head out there, when the weather clears of course, but im working out there bye swt for the time being, i'll let you know if i go out there, and give you my cell#
later.
