latest timeslip video to come soon.

can't wait till i have 100% running car, 4.33 LSD installed and new suspension, then i will be knocking on 15's door https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Not bad, I won't even bother to share my one experience at the drag strip. It was bad, let's just say I could use some more practice! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

we could add a time-slips forum or something to that effect if you'd like.

a timeslips dyno forum would be good https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png i killed a civic that ran 17.9......... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

yea timeslips/dyno forum isnt a bad idea. Im thinking of dynoing my h0e soon. :laugh:

i want to dyno my beast to see how little power i am making https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

I think that's worse than stock...must've been the bling blingin rims.

atleast i beat something finally..... a win is a win even though it was against a really slow honda https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

A civic at my last race over the summer ran a 17.9 too..it had the full body kit, kick ass system, you know...the normal...that might explain the slow times. It's hard to make a car look good and be fast...oh wait, thats just civics https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



To be honest, the first run ever w/ my SE was a 17.3 @ 83.29MPH w/ a .65 RT...that was a while ago, I'm hoping to be knocking around the mid 13s when my GT-X is ready to rumble https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

oh yeah i ran a 15.987 last time at the track a while ago https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Watch out once I get my tranny fixed/upgraded I should be breaking into 15s.

By the time I'm done breaking my car I'll be in that area too.

It seems a bit odd to me to risk breaking my car to run so slow. If you arent breaking 13's, seems like a waste of time to beat on the car, and pay to do it at a dragstrip as well. But thats just me.

Yeah, save it for the street. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/devil.gif

have you ever actually raced on a drag strip is totally different than driving on the street. i drag raced my GTU to learn how to drive it and have some fun. my car has to break on me. i figure its a good idea knowing what i'm doing before i attempt racing my *slow* *stock* fd :smilewinkgrin:

I guess you have a point. I went to the track once with my 1981 Cutlass ( basically the last style before they stopped making the full size rear-wheel drive Cutlass ), I got 2 passes off and then they politley asked me to leave on the account I had no safety equipment besides a helmet and a driveshaft loop. This was over 10 years ago, first pass was 13 something, 2nd just broke the 13, and the car only had 3.73 rear, wish I would have put the 4.13 rear in it and got the thing to hook up, I had a full Rancho suspension in it, not a drag race set up.

the drag strip is also a good way to measure if your car is actually working to its potential https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png sounds like a mean cutlass you had there https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I always like to think the guys that stole it from the front of my house New Years Eve enjoyed it, lol. I had a 454 Chevy motor in it, 11:1 compression, aluminum heads, 850 Holley double pumper, reverse manual valve body turbo 350 transmission, the whole bit, that was then, this is now. :frown:

Launching at the track is so important... I never understood why I couldnt get my first RX7 under a 2.2 60' time (probably because that was 6 years ago and I had no idea what I was doing). Another problem I had with that car was wheel hop on every launch. The best I pulled was a 15.72@87.5. It was an 86 base with header, no cat, dynomax exhaust, bonez intake, alum. hood, and electric fan. Don't hate me guys but I've been racing CRX's for the last 4 years. My 85 ran 15.01@88mph on slicks. I hooked up better with that FWD than I ever did with the 7.....I just mounted a pair of BFG drag radials for my 88 SE and did the suspension so hopefully this time around I can get better 60' times.

Dyno your car...



The result will allow you to know your torque, HP's, and shift points. More than a few years ago, I had my T2 dyno'd at a local shop...$75 an hour. Anyway, the chart told me where my torque started to kick. That told me that I was launching at the wrong RPM's.



With knowledge in hand, I went back to Sear Point for some trial runs....Ran a low 13.9....basically stock. I could of ran a 13.8 but I had to work on my reaction times and launches.



Dyno do help......oh...I made 225 HP's and 210lbs at the rear wheels.

Oh....work on your RT's!!! You will have to cut that in half!

umm last time i went to the track i cut a .500 :smilewinkgrin:
