The local drag strip opens up saturday and i plan on making a few runs. last season my car ran a best of 15.2 with the mods in my sig only thing new is a 200 amp alt. 315 tires in the rear 180* thermostat a fan relay switch and optima battery. i plan on removing the rear seat and passenger seat for my runs and with it being much cooler than when i ran it last year im hoping to break in 14's do you guys have any suggestions? my elevation is 2306ft.

 

[AaRoN]

well with what you've added you MIGHT break 14's. how was your traction the last time you ran it?

GO TO YOUR MODULAR FOURM!!! lmao

 

[shrades79]

well it was about 75* out, i didnt pull any seats or subs and kept my corner light in and the best i ran was a 15.36@93mph. That run was after 2hours of cooling down consistantly ran a 15.42 to 15.48 ranging from 90 to 93 mph. only good news i have to tell you is i got second place in the bracket bonnaza (Street Legal) dialed in at a 15.40 got 50 bucks and a trophy so i wasnt totally depressed

Do automatic trannys really make that big of a diffrence? i got a best of 14.5 before i put the cobra intakes on and the new throttle body and cold air.

if you can drive youll hit 14s bone stock with just gears/exhaust i was running mid 14s WITH 18" saleens in 80-90 degree weather in the summer

yes but with those 4.10 gears and him lauching it off the line it should make up for it

 

[shrades79]

what do you mean if i can drive? i turn overdrive off, rev against the brake and then mash it, what else does it take with an auto?

 

[cobra4978]

I'm sure he did'nt mean anything by it... is it better to turn your overdrive off? i always raced with it on when i had an auto i had a friend who like it on better too in his 91 gt :dunno:

 

[shrades79]

ive been told to turn it off by several people on these forums, but i have never noticed a difference, ive done it both ways many times and run almost the exact same

 

[cobra4978]

Yeah thats how i always felt too
