Unless that pump is the son of Herbie.... Ive still got alot of work to do...lol

 

[sleeper3]

lol you guys are antsy. I ran a 13.7

I don't have the slip with me, but that's what I did.

jam asian, were you the black one? I think I saw you hit the brakes at the end of your first run, why did you do that?

also, the best runs I had were from slipping the clutch at 2500 rpm. I tried 3k and 2k but 2500 worked the best. I got like 8 runs in before I left. good time at the track, and I'm not upset with my time at all. I think if I take the spare out and ice the intercooler and do a tad better on the launch, I'll be at least 2 tenths quicker.

also, what was up with all the 12 second cars out there?!

I ran against an evo, a magnum, and a trailblazer SS that were all running deep into the twelves. looks like you ran against someone similar.

 

[sleeper3]

also, I always wondered why the boards at the end of the track and the time slips that you get in the booth say different times. I thought it was because the slip adds your reaction time into the ET, because on the 13.7 run that I pulled (I read it off the sign as I was passing it), the slip says 13.9 with a .2 reaction time. Then I saw the other slip in this thread, and that would mean he was running 13.2s or something, which I find hard to believe.

can anyone shed some light?

 

[sleeper3]

thats mine not too happy but it was my first time

your 60' was faster than any of mine were. what rpm are you shifting at?

 

[Bravnik]

Bah - What's the point in starting a post about going to the track if you don't post slips? If you go out of your way to tell people, slips and a video are a must don't you think?

 

[sleeper3]

I don't think they're a must. it's not like a 13.7 is an overly impressive time... and if you choose not to believe me, it's no skin off my back.

 

[laloosh]

what wast he trap speed

 

[sleeper3]

I can't remember... a little over a hundred... I am a bit TOed at myself for forgetting the time slips. I'll try and post them tomorrow, or maybe tonight if I think about it.

 

[sleeper3]

by the way, 2k rpm was too low for my launches. I bogged down and then floored it and spun so bad I was barely moving. 2500 worked the best as far as bogging/spinning was concerned.

 

[allmotor95pgt]

not bad at all i ran a 13.6@105 with mscai and a open downpipe with boost controller but was hitting fuelcut the whole time.

 

[sleeper3]

considering all I really have performance-wise is a cold air intake and an intercooler, I'm pretty happy with the time.

 

[jam_asian85]

your 60' was faster than any of mine were. what rpm are you shifting at?

i was shifting around 6k rpms, before i went to the track i did some pulls on the highway just to see if boost would hold till 6k and it did so i figured i would shift at 6k and see how i did, but stupid little me forgot about the limitations we have in 1st and 2nd so i didnt shift out early in those two gears lol

and i laughed at about 3k feathering it

considering all I really have performance-wise is a cold air intake and an intercooler, I'm pretty happy with the time.

im jealous !!! i have an intake, dp and mp and ran 14.09 but people keep telling me dont worry its my first time i almost had the 13's, oh well wednesday night it is

oh yea about my FIRST run, embarassing i know, i braked up because i didnt know when to start slowing down lol ps: first time tracking any car

 

[jam_asian85]

oh btw sleeper3 are you going to the track this wednesday, if so im gonna borrow your intercooler alrite lol

 

[sleeper3]

ahhhh I see. well you did pretty well then. a 14.09 is no slouch time. I also was shifting at 6k rpm. everyone was talking about shifting at 5500-5700, but I ran way slower times when I did that. my first run of the night was a 14.3 I think... I was pretty upset, but once I calmed down, got the adrenaline under control and thought about my launch a little more, I figured out what I needed to do. I think the downpipe and midpipe are next on my agenda. with those, and the stuff I mentioned before, I should be running low 13's. that's pretty fast.

 

[sleeper3]

nah I don't think I am going to go on wednesday. I want to get a few things straightened out. most importantly, fixing the shroud for the intercooler so it doesn't break the windshield cowling. after that, I might go back.

oh kool, alright bro good luck with that, hopefully i can get my nerve settled and break into the 13's

 

[sleeper3]

I am sure you will. you're nipping at it already. do you have a helmet? I started the night not wearing it and then I got yelled at.
