Hey everyone,

Tomorrow I am going to Milan Dragway with a couple of people for Test and Tune night. This will be my first night ever going to a real drag strip, and I was wondering if anyone could give me and last minute tips or suggestions, and maybe predict my 1/4 mile time. Here are my mods:

FD

Blitz intake

Pettit downpipe

stock cat

3" exhaust piping from cat back

3" muffler

Clutchmasters Stage I clutch

Removed the spare tire and sub/box from hatch



Anyone want to help me do the best I can? Anyone want to try to explain how to launch with little wheelspin? I have Nitto 450s right now. Should I rev to 3000 and feather the clutch on takeoff, or start lower and just dump the clutch in? Thanks for any help. I just don't want to embarrass myself.

Welcome newbie!I live in Detroit and have been to the Milan dragway.You dont know about the racing we do in the D?Good luck on your runs!

 

a lot of factors to involve when it comes to estimatin time

id figure to be around mid thirteens.. as far as launchin

yet another area requiring consideration on a number of factors..

try to get a number of runs in and vary each launch..

you should be able to work out whats best with your set up..

id stay clear of dumpin your clutch on high rpms though..

 

last night i ran on street tires, feather from 4k with LOW tire pressure got my best 60 foot times. 1.9 isnt horrible on street tires.
