[Drewh716]

Here are the time slips from my runs last night at Midnight Madness in st. louis, MO.... I cant seem to get into the 13's for anything. When i was leaving i talked to a guy with the exact same mods and he's running 13.5's all day. His 60' time was only .1 better than mine.. Help me out! how can i get 13's? I dont know what to adjust or how to alter the car from run to run to do better? Post all advice!

your launch could use some practice and r/t also. run drag radials and you will be in 13's. are you wot shifting?

[hercfe]

check for boost leaks! check for boost leaks! CHECK FOR BOOST LEAKS!!!

your mods you should be DEEP into the 13's. a set of dr's or drags and you should see 12's.

compression test? either you suck at driving or there is something wrong. BTW, your 60ft's SUCK! you want good times you need to be in the 1.9-2.1 range on street tires.

Ok a couple questions... are you running stage one ecu.. ?

With those mods get a stage one or map clamp and turn the boost up to 20 falling to 18 and get and adjustable wastegate to help with holding boost...... it sounds like to me your falling off at the end of the track..

there was a guy there that ran 2.2 60' and had a 13.5 so its not unattainable with that 60' i probably just suck at driving only 2nd time at the track

that there's your answer bro! the times will come with lots of practice. it's not unthinkable for you to see low 13's with your mods. you just need lots of practice. you're not losing much on the backhalf judging by your 1/8. get those 1/8's into the 8.50s and you'll be surprised how fast you go in the 1/4. it's all in the 1-2 and 2-3 shift. when you get the wotbox in that will help a LOT. good luck man. and don't get discouraged!

my guess is your driving a neon

thanks im waiting on a pm about a wot box now!

[Neon Nick]

Why don't you want to WOT shift without a WOT box???? I do it every time, WOT boxes are over-rated I think...

But looks like you just need more practice, you should be in the 13's even with those 60ft's IMO but obviously getting those down will help a lot. Must be your granny shifting? Just keep practicing, you'll get it!

edit: Just watched the video, yeah you are shifting really slow sounds like, shift faster!

[Drewh716]

haha cuz i cant afford to fix the tranny if if mess it up,, i just gotta work on my driving it'll come sometime
