Legend Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Count me in for a Wednesday night or two this year. My clutch won't hold up to a stiff launch though... 52K on the stocker so maybe I'll upgrade it this summer anyhow. I went once last year and put together a terrible 15.07 run @96mph. I'd like to hit 14.0 this year but I don't know if it's possible with the stock turbo at altitude. My '05 LGT My '07 Supercharged Shelby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 ^^ nope.

CoSpringsSpecB Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 That is the one good thing about being in kansas... car feels like a entirely different beast here then in does Colorado though theres no where to drive here... so i guess that is a mute point...

collegemt Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 So No one is interested in going this weekend? When do they start holding races on wednesdays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 ^^ nope. Best i could get was 14.7 at stage 2+ (best at sea level was 14.0 at stage 1) I agree mwiener - breaking into the 13's isn't going to happen with a stock turbo. For a more realistic goal, I'll set my sights on 14.3 What do you expect to hit this year with your new setup?

mwiener2 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 14.5 would be realistic. My 14.7 was at 250TQ and 235HP. That's alot for up here My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 14.5 would be realistic. My 14.7 was at 250TQ and 235HP. That's alot for up here When I was on the dyno last summer I was at 228whp/240tq. That was 95 degrees, snow tires, untuned fuel, stock TMIC and 15psi peak boost. I've improved on all those fronts so I think I caught up to where you were powerwise and my rig is a lighter... but you're right that might not add up to better than 14.5. So... 13.8 for you, mwiener? My '05 LGT My '07 Supercharged Shelby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collegemt Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 So who is going? I am think I am going on Wednesday next week 4-30-08 for test and tune. Gate opens at 4pm and you run as many times as you can until 8:45. I figured i should learn how to drag race before i enter in a actual race. Anyone else in?

Legend Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I can't go that date. If that's the first Wednesday of the season I'd recommend not going. I went to the last session of the year last October. I got there around 5:15pm and waited in line until 8pm to get a single run in. Still, I'd like you to go and beat my lousy 15.0 run that I had that night, Adam. The next Weds I could go is 5-21 if anyone is interested for that night.

collegemt Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 So I went to Bandimere tonight (4-30-07), and it was a blast/ I got there at 3:45 and started racing at 4:45m intotal i got 8 runs in by 7:30, awesome huh! It was my first time drag racing so it was a learning expierence. My average time was 14.9 and my best was a 14.5. I was doing a 4K launch and bogged it a couple of times, very challenging to do. I saw another LGT (non forum member) with spt intake and exhaust run best time of 16.34but it was a 5eat. I also saw a stock 08 WRX run a 15.7. Me vs. Scion tc with intake exhaust and chip: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acCptvimujM]YouTube - Legacy Gt vs. Scion tc[/ame] Me vs mustang GT 5.0 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DrO48V82Ks]YouTube - Legacy GT vs Mustang GT[/ame] 14.5 run time slip attachted: I was in the right lane.

Legend Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Damn that's awesome, Adam. I can hear your baby cheering for you! 14.5 sounds pretty damn good. I can't believe you got 8 runs in too. I'm jealous. Your clutch will be like mine soon at that rate... I looked at my timeslip from last year when I had a single run of 15.0. I also trapped the 1/8 at 74mph and quarter at 96mph but my 330' time was 0.5 slower than you. (Bad, boggy launch). Ok let's go out in a couple weeks and get a 14.3. What rpm did you 3-4 shift?

collegemt Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 I was shifting 3-4 at just over 6K. I am almost positive I can make it on 5-21, so we will meet up there. I think with a better launch a 14.3 is possible. My launches were okay but from what I am reading we shoule be able to a 60 foot time of less than 2 seconds. Yes, that was our baby cheering for me, he didn't like it when I lost. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enthusiast Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Good times! With some summer tires you would get some better launches. j/k I may come out in May to watch you guys. My mod list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enthusiast Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I am saving my clutch for track days. I used to race at Bandimere when I was "much" younger. I would drive my 70 Chevelle SS up from the Springs for High School Nights. Besides I can film you guys. My mod list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 How many miles do you have on your clutch? I have 52K. Hmmmm... now if I burned through my clutch I could have a new one for the track days... hmmm... My '05 LGT My '07 Supercharged Shelby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collegemt Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 I will say this, after racing last night I am seriuosly considering a turbo upgrade. I really want to be in the 13's. But a turbo upgrade is alot of money, so it might be a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
