Fastest Street Car On Style

[v8klla]

What kind of 60' and 1/8th mile times were you guys getting?

Best 60' was a 1.63...

Were you getting good 1/8th mile times and mphs? On a no traction until 3rd gear run I did 102mph in the 1/8th and then 138mph in the 1/4. On my next pass, when I went 10.4, I got some traction (1.79 60') and it was 109mph in the 1/8th, but then 4th gear broke and ruined the mph.

I was spending nearly 2 seconds according to the aem log burning out, then bogging and re-spinning in 1st..spin thru 2nd, and bog the 2-3..build boost from 7psi and get to 22psi 1.5 seconds later, and FINALLY haul out on the track.
I gained anywhere from 36-43mph in the last 1/8 track, pending how shitty it went, but the car was useless/slow the first 1/8 of the track.
Pretty much it was a fun experience to get more seat time ::shrugs::

If you were bogging on the 2-3 shift, then you need to go ahead and let it bounce off the rev limiter a bit before the shift. It took me a while to figure that out. It lets the tires catch up and you will hook better.

Yup, I did that in 1-2, and 2-3 unfortunatly. When I could get into third that is.. I can't tell you how many times I've accidently punched the stereo headunit while trying to get into third.

By bogging I meant I couldn't get 3rd quick enough to keep the boost up (shifter cables issue).

You guys are too funny :D It's funny to listen to everyone post their times, but then follow it with "I had issues" ... clutch was shot, had shifting issues, traction issues, launch issues, car was breaking up past 7k, etc..etc.. We're all guilty of it. My best is 12.05 @ 117 (last year) but I know that's not the fastest car on here. It is in my area though. I went out to Rock once this year, but like everyone else "I had issues" :) The tensioner that keeps the a/c belt tight, unscrewed itself and was ready to fall off. Didn't catch it till I was home. I think that caused major vibration, thus knock. It's pretty close to the knock sensor. It was either that or shitty year old opened C14 gas or a combo of both. Could only get a 12.10 and that was the first run of the day. Won't go for 11's until this f'n weather cools down.

These times were on a 50trim, at roughly 22-23# full weight 99GSX. I'm happy.

I weighed my "boat" 3780 race weight w/me in it.
I'd like to get that down to 3600lbs by the end of season, 3700lbs if I keep the a/c.
