OSW time slips :-)

[unclenick]

Ok, car ran great !
Add one 03 4.6 L Mustang, add one fugly turbo Civic and one LT1 Trans Am to the list of cars I have taken down with the SC :)

Here are my slips of the night:

1st run: 15.012@94.50 /60 ft 2.449
2nd run: 14.798@94.51 / 60 ft 2.222
3rd run: 14.661@94.45 / 60 ft 2.122

The I tried something different, added some 110 fuel(yea I know) and started to leave it in 3rd instead of trapping in 4th gear.......

4th run : 14.724@95.28 /60 ft 2.219
5th run: 14.741@95.18 /60 ft 2.275

So my best run of the night was 14.661 at 94.51 mph. That MPH should be in the low 14 high 13's time slips. My 60 ft sucked due to the 15 lbs of boost and Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires. Traction was a big issue on street tires. The darn car wanted to go to 15 lbs of boost and roast the tires off. I am going to need some ET Streets or Drag Radials. With somemore practice and a good launch, I think I can get 13.99 out of this car the way it sits. :)

BTW, I left the "hole" at 2000 rpm as my car is a 5 speed, any suggestions?

Yeah,

2k off the line is way too high, especially at OSW. You'll want to launch at just under 1200, and once you're hooked...nail it.

I was trying to give Victor a crash course...next time you go out...let me know...if you could give me some more advance. Feel free to give me a call and we can talk some more if you want: 407-697-8190.

[Sweet90SC]

Like I was sayin yesterday tryin to launch there is like tryin to launch on goose chit ;) ... Those are good times though sorry I had to miss it.. Oh and George took me off time out so I can post again... :D

I will call, no problem. OSW, sucks. The track is horrible but is there anywhere else to go? As I was staged in gear and foot on clutch/gas the car was rolling foward! Nice, really nice..... I will try a 1200 launch next time I go and I'll call ya to see if ya want to go! Thanks :)

Oh, so your out of the dunces corner now? :D

I have to find a way to convince my wife that I NEED drag slicks...LOL

Sorta. You kinda have to learn the track...gainesville might be a better bet for you...although I don't know anything about your car.

[victor malvar]

Nice cool Night, Some good time. I wish I could have been there. Maybe next time. Call me when you get a chance!
I have to ask you a question. ;)
Way to go!
Talk soon
Victor!

[mysticwelder]

good runs.....gainsville raceway is a better track i go up there when i get time to go....but bradenton is the best but that is just my opinion

Nick,
Good times... I have the same problem with my SC. If I'm in the right hand lane, Car rolls forward, I have to hold it with the hand brake until I launch.

[Jake]

Those are some impressive times Nick. I used bfgoodrich dr's with about 13psi in them and was getting 1.9 60ft times. If you want to race on a real track come down to Bradenton and race with me. My brother-in-law drove down from E. orlando in his 96 mustang and shaved 4 tenths off his best time :eek: .

I am game for a Bradenton run, OSW is horrible. 2.1 shorts times on street tires is not bad but could be better.
LOL, man I will run with ya, as a matter a fact.....I just might be your competition. Let's just say that some "parts" have been ordered and we will definately need drag radials or slicks. I should have it all done and installed by the end of January. I will be hunting down some Supras.......nuff said :eek: :D :D :D

[victor malvar]

All I can Say is that it seems to me that, As Paul From Blue Tounge writes>>> Quote... People Sit and talk about Racing, But never actually Race... Something like that... Close enough. WeIl it seem to me that Times are AH CHANGING!. All I hear about lately... is "Let get it on" This is a good turn of events lately. I have not seen any post from Paul? Does anyone know were he may be? He is always on the forums. I think there will be some lower times slips coming is since the competition is on! at least in Florida. I see the Enthusiasm building. I need my Front Mount Intercoller. I'm sorry I sold mine. How much clearance is between the Double Intercooler and the 800 CFM fan attached, from the engine? Its got to be minute. I was looking at that today. Alot of people use them, I never have used mine! It came with a leak even though I was told they were pressure tested :rolleyes: :( Check out our power pulleys they work! No slipimg and we carry them now regularly. :)
Gaisville is a good track, better than OSW. Bradenton is probably best but further from us. Another hour and change. Keep em Spinning, or better yet Stop em from spinning....
Victor and Diane

[XR7Kurt]

Great times Nick! Did you lower the pressure on your street tires? I ran mine at 22psi and it hepled quite a bit, although I don't have the kind of power you do.
As far as launching experimenting is what worked best for me. My thinking was trying to hit the fine line between bogging it(too low rpm) and spinning(too high rpm). I actually practiced one the street a lot by trying to take off fast from the lights fast without spinning. Generally the street has worst traction than any track and it made me familiar with the feel of the car. Anyhow there's your 2 cents from a guy in the 15's with 2.19 60ft. :D

Kurt

Thanks for the compliment on the times. Yea, I lowered them down to 20 psi but still no traction. It is ok now, I have faced the fact that this car just needs dr's or slicks, even more now so when done with various internal and external slight motor modifications ;)

It is coming.......

[Jake]

What do you have comming? Don't keep us in the dark. You can see all my mods in my members page. Next is a 75mm tb then in march I'm buying a head and cam combo.

Ok, geesh....LOL. I can't keep a secret to save my life... :D

Magnum Powers NO wait Ported Blower, 85 mm tb, 42 lb injectors, fuel pump, ARP stud/bolts for heads, MP Ported Plenum, Raised SC Top, underdrive pulleys, I am working on a rear gear setup. There is more, cant remember what I ordered....LOL I still have to get a chip. I got the wheels for my slicks, still have to order the MT ET streets.....

I should have it all by the 1st week of January. Then The fun begins of the tear down and re-assembly of the car.

All in all, I should have it back together by the end of January. I want 12's and it is going to kill me until I get there.

[unclenick]

CRAP, I just realized I did not order a FMIC.......Oh Victor......

[Jake]

Uh oh, looks like more than one person's after Kurt K's title. Can't wait to see what times you put down.

[Sweet90SC]

yep Jake I'd say look out cause Nick is definitely on a mission :D

[Jake]

I'm not worried Rick, I like competition, untill it gets close ;) I like seeing the fl group pick up on speed we've been lacking for sometime now.

[Sweet90SC]

Yea Nicks even got me more motivated :p

[Evil Inside]

Is that another cheap shot? ;)

I've actually put the 1/4 mile setup on hold for something else I'm working on...

[unclenick]

I think I need more to get what ya got but, it will be a fun time getting there. If I am right, with what is going on car, I should be somewhere in the Mid to High 12 seconds on slicks.

I can live with that. :)

[XR7Kurt]

Is that another cheap shot?

Although it seems about time someone takes another cheap shot at you :D I believe Jake was commenting on the overall lack of focus on performance in the group. Florida has been a very active group but not really tearing up the 1/4 mile, at least since I've been around. The fastest SC in Florida hasn't even lived there for how many years??? :eek:
Be patient though, I'm sure the next cheap shot isn't far away.

Kurt

[Jake]

My guess would be 13.5 to 13.7. No one with the mods you have listed is in the 12's. Look at the fastest SC's list and check out their mods, that will tell you about what you will run. I may be wrong tho.

Oh well, we'll see. Hopefully at least 12.99. That is my goal. I WILL do whatever it takes, I mean whatever to get 12.99 or better. AS long as the wife don't kick me out of the house for spending all this $$$$$ on the bird, everything will be ok. :D :D :D

Notice, I waited till all XMAS shopping was done to see how much I had left over for the Bird.... :D :D :D

I know what he was getting at and I feel the same way too. I was just being silly.

I knew that you knew. :p

[onequiksc]

Nice runs Nick, we'll all enjoy watching you and Jake trying to outgun each other, with TJ and Victor joining in some.

As for the rest of us, Kurt is mostly right, we're not a very 1/4 mile motivated group as a whole. I'm personally too busy modding my house rather than my SC. That's just the way it is, and the $$$ has to go in too many other directions.

Hey, at least I can still afford the Zaino. :D

[Kurt K]

KurtIt's nice to be remembered :D

And Dan, I'll call your house mods and raise you one wedding. My car mods are slipping completely by for next year. :(

[onequiksc]

Ahh the nuptials...Gettin' nervous Kurt?

( It'll be over before you know it...then the REAL pain begins!) :D

I put my quarter mile dreams on hold for a while for something else I really don't want to leak yet...next time I see you, maybe Silver Springs, I'll let you in on it.

[Kurt K]

Ahh the nuptials...Gettin' nervous Kurt?

( It'll be over before you know it...then the REAL pain begins!) :DNot nervous yet, I don't even have time to think about it. Heck, I won't have time to think about it until after I take the P.E. test in April.

hahahah PE?? that's obviously the wrong letters for Prenuptual Agreement!!! Good luck there Kurt!! I'm not fixing I'm just building a new house and barn and Toy Barn... But at least my old, slow, tired, butt will not be laying on my back under the car when these are done!! $2900 lift coming soon to a Toy Barn close to you!!! :D :D :D

RJPE, as in Professional Engineer License Test.

As for the house, I'd love to build new and get the garage I want, but I'd have to move too far out of town to be able to afford a new house that meets all of my requirements. I will be adding a lift when I rebuild my garage. :)
