Tell them to melt down that slippery ice block you're launching on next time, so you can get that 60' time lower

It must feel really good to own a Z28 by almost 10mph on the trap with a car that has almost half its displacement

Power to the turbo ovals,

Good job man,

Tim

That looks like noone can get a real good launch there. Find a new track, get some wider tires, work on the suspension,, just do whatever you can to get traction.

Well I suppose I should stop making fun of you now.

Well at least until I go out to the track with my drag radials.

As for launching...

Your best bet is a moderate roll into the throttle from about 2500rpm and never exceed 2/3 pedal in 1st gear. Yes I understand it's hard not to nail the pedal but restraint is A MUST!!!

A quick shift to 2nd and then 3/4 pedal in 2nd until the tires settle or you reach 6500rpm.

Once in 3rd you can let it all hang out.

Another good idea is BETTER TIRES!!!

restraint. . . hahaha! good advice, but damn hard to practice! my first time i tried restraint (to keep wheelhop at a min), but forgot about that as soon as i saw the last yellow light up! oops!

bad launches or not, those times are still pretty impressive. congrats!

So is this just for Turbo cars or does it apply to NA 2.5/3L SVT's as well?

What tires are you using, or does it really matter. Do no tires work well?

awesome trap speed!

See my post: "New 1/4mile record! (For me)" and see my 60' times.. I think Warmonger is also running those same tires but on his SVT Focus wheels.. Granted I don't have a turbo, but I do have "restraint"

You really are overlooking the effectiveness in the solid motor mount in quelling wheel hop, stop complaining and built one.

As for launch technique I ride the clutch out at the point the car hits full boost 3800 for me. I have felt that if I go any lower my initial gas pedal modulation for low boost is thrown off by the rapid change in hp. Riding the clutch out allows me to compensate equally through first gear.

With this technique in first gear I have been only 1 car behind numerous high powered 4wd cars such as evo and sti.

how exactly did you do your "solid mount"? did you use windowweld? or is it like keysers setup? ive been meaning to do something because my car wont stay down unless im too soft on it and then my times lick nutz.

why on the left slip your 610, and the right your 616?

anyways , great times, cant wait to see what happens when the traction issue gets takin care of.

oh yeah, with all theses vids of yours floating around, did you make one at the track?

Funny I just noticed too about the car number must have been that blonde hair girl in the tower getting it all mixed up........

. I brought my cam that night but forgot to charge up the battery. I will go race Saturady night and bring my cam that night. I am using falken Azenis tires for launching. Those launches was just starting off with no popping clutch. I tried to pop clutch but just spins stupid so I bog then once I hit 4000 rpms it goes. And second gears spins the whole way but still pulls the car pretty quick forward. Once in third gear it all over then. I ordered the greddy electronic boost pro-f E01 I believe it wil help down low.

I have what keyser has, it disconnected itself today and the difference is amazing, you would have to be an idiot to spend all the money to buy a turbo and not weld one up.

nice times!

nice times, although I also was wondering how your car number changed. Also what kind of z28 was that? If tis anything newer thats a horible time for one.

Very consistant! Great times, too!
What kind of power are you putting down w/ 11psi?

im so glad we brought up all these old posts from like 2 years ago.

I wish I had a ban button right now. I'd press the hell out of it.

He has 25 posts and has used all of them to clutter the boards with 2 year old threads. What are you waiting for?

Yoda says, "One post whoring spree does not bannination make."

He's on my radar, but if he keeps it legit from here on, I have no problem with him sticking around. Everyone gets a second chance with me - when I've had my coffee

Really, it's not CEG policy to ban very quickly. Maybe he thought he could boost his post count without anyone seeing, if he did it in old threads. That's dumb, but not malicious.
