3335, Worst Track times last night with turbo! Need Help!
Posted by freddy_00_69, Aug-14-03 06:44 AM
I just took my car to the savannah dragway last night which is 1/8 track. I ran a worse time with the turbo then stock. I ran 10.5-10.9's in 6 runs. I embarassed myself out there with my turbo. I know i need a bigger downpipe b/c it has a 2 1/4 inch elbow and then it goes into the stock exhaust and then after cat it is 2.5. So my exhaust flow sucks like hell, so i know that has something to do with it. I also need help with launching my 5-speed, i tried revving and letting off slow to catch grip and then floor but i need more practice with that. Please give me suggestions, i ran 6,7,8, and 9 psi on 100 octane race gas and still ran these times. I have a custom stage 2 setup with vsfmu and 30lb and mp throttle body on stock internals.

Bad, i got 2.5-2.6 60ft times. I need help with launching b/c i don't want to be stuck on the line spinning tires, i have 17's with toyo proxes. I think i am going to order some drag radials for 2 of my stock 14's and use them at the track. I think i need more practice at the track b/c on the street, i feels completely different.

Dunno if that was a typo or not, but your 60ft times arent the same as 0-60mph times. They are two completely different measurements of speeds :P
