Could some one analize my time slip. It was my first time at the track.

I am guessing my tire pressure was too high 40lbs

Definately too high for drag racing.

I would have expected slightly lower times out of those modifications. Maybe even a high 14.

What type of LSD?

Quafie
That is what I was guessing 14.7-8
I am sure I can improve but at least I wasnt the guy running 15.6 in an sti
How are my 60ft times

Paul H22 · 09-01-2005, 05:08 PM

They say shoot for 2.2 or less. So a tiny bit high.

Yeah, 2.2X 60ft on street tires. Possibly even 2.1 or 2.0 since you have LSD is what you should shoot for. And high 40's psi in your tires? You shoudl even run that much daily. Tires only need like 38psi. I air mine out to 22-25psi at the track, so try that next time.

Something doesn't add up. A 9.7 in 1/8th isn't a bad time, but I would say that he should be running a few tenths faster in the 1/4.

Between his 60 ft. and the 1/8 he seems to be right on target, but from the 1/8 to the 1/4 he seems to have slowed down.

My guess is that you're losing some top end horsepower due to poor shifting or poor tuning or a combination of both. Of course, it could also be a weight problem, but the 1/8 e.t. doesn't indicate that.
