1/8th mile

[2004srt4man]

so i took the car out to jamestown to run it on the new setup at the track they had set up at the airport, my 2 best times were'nt to impressive cuz i spin bad i switched my launch up but nothing would work, but was fun. here are a few of my times

reaction time: 0.849
60 feet: 2.407
MPH: 77.72
ET: 9.715

reaction time: 1.092
60 ft: 2.359
MPH: 76.92
ET: 9.694

i was also wondering what thread i could go on to get a pair of drag radials after how the car spin i really need some asap cuz next even gonna be quarter mile so any help would appreciate it.

76 and 77 mph traps say you don't spin as much as you think you do. That's pretty much what a stock neon traps.

Don't waste money on Drag Radials, go right to slicks. They will give you the best result.

+1

I've seen a bunch of guys use drag radials, and most of them step up to slicks in the end. just go straight to slicks.

If you are mostly stock (guessing by your time, no offence) you should probably use a 23" tall slick.

thing is im not stock im 50 trim 14lbs of boost 360 hp , and i was spinning like a mofo got it all on camera. and some of second and all of third is all i was getting taction in, i had to launch at low rpm.

LOL

For the most part, spinning raises your traps. If you were really putting down 360whp, you should be a little above 90mph in the 1/8th, especially on street tires.

x2...

[2004srt4man]

thats a tuned 50 trim .63 AR running 14lbs of boost. its pushing 360 hp, tires spinning car does'nt catch till end of second gear cant even get halfway through third gear and track ends. dunno how u think im gonna get to 90 mph with tires spinning half the track

[Kason23]

You do know when the tires spin the MPH goes up much quicker right??

do you have said dyno of this 14lb hp number?

Not doubting you...but I would like to see that number on that boost.

[j_bundrick29666]

^^thats what i trapped when my 50 trim was semi tuned on 16 psi... that pass was like an 8.6 on street tires and i was spinning also

[2004srt4man]

my third race right lane i spun the most and got terrible numbers, i dunno how u guys trap high speeds, but my tires catch in third gear at that time im only doing 60-70 mph the tires arnt still spinning when i cross the line, i dunno much since was my first time at the track im just telling u my numbers and how it went.

[SRTorque]

I've only drag raced on a semi prepped 1/8 mile track but i think you have a boost leak or something. With an exhaust and dsp 93 tune i trapped 87 mph. At the same track my friend with 50 trim .48 on 18 inch rims with 380hp ran 91 mph. I'd say boost leak check your car and find a real track and see what happens.

x3 on slicks, i picked up a half second using slicks on my local 1/8.

[2004srt4man]

thanks ya ill look into it more. next track ill be going to will be quarter mile so hopefully have the slicks and fuel system done by then.
