Just Got back from the Track!:(

1BAD93LX · 03-18-2001, 10:49 PM

The rack is a ***** to drive, I wish i had my Power Steering back! Everytime the car hits a bump it jerks to that way on the road! I think I am going to need to put my Front Sway bar back on & get some of those caster Plates,

I took the car to the track, I can not get the car to Hook for **** !

When I try to do a burnout the Rear Axles bounce up & down, Like the 99 Cobras do! But way worse, I have it on film. My best 60 ft today was a 2.3, If I goose it in 1st when I take out, The rear end just bounces,

It bounced so bad today, That the Saftey on the fuel pump shut the Fuel pump off, I didn't know what happened at first, Because the car would not start, The started was working be would not turn over, Then I checked my fuel Pressure on my gage, I had no Fuel pressure because the fuel pump safty was trigered by the Rearend bouncing so bad,

Here is some of my times, This car is a Animal, It spins the tires all through 1st 2nd 3rd & part of 4th, before it hooks

I weighed the car, With me out! 2580, 2750 with me in!

1st run 14.118 with a 2.433 60ft 89.10mph
2nd 14.317 with a 2.404 108.40 mph
3rd 13.326 2.372 109.83mph
4th 13.822 2.409 111.30mph WOW!
5th 13.593 2.267 109.73mph

Then I went home becasue I was pissed about the car not hooking, I was afraid I was going to break my rearend,

Your trap speeds indicate that you have some pretty decent HP. It just sounds like you need some sticky slicks. Looks and sounds like you could run high 12's if you can get the traction.

Have you had the Nitto's for a while, or are you new to them? Assuming you are new- you have to burn the heck out of them. With 4:10's you need at least a 2nd gear burn, but with that kind of power, I'd try for a 3rd gear burnout, once the smoke starts count to five, then you're golden! These tires do not hook unless they are blazing hot, you don't need to kill them though, just get them good and hot. I try for 6-8 seconds from the tire I start them spinning till I shut them down. I have more traction than I can use! The car bogs on a 4000rpm launch if the temps are hot out.
