I was wondering when you would jump in there with that beast. DAPACK69 needs to jump in on this one too.Quote:

I need to go back to the drag strip to see what my times are now with my new mods.
yeah go back and see if anything changes. I can consistantly run 16.1's with an occasional 16.0. my other question is are you rolling on the throttle or are you pre-launching it reved up?
I Rev it up to about 1500 rpm when the stage light comes on. Any more rpms than that and the tires (only the rear passenger side back then) would start to break loose. Sometimes I spin a little off the line. Recently I've been getting some "axle hop" or something and have to battle to regain traction for the first 60ft, but since I haven't been back to the track I don't know how much it is hurting my times. I know that I raced a Bank's turbo'd diesel that runs mid-low 15s consistently and it was dead even for about a 600ft race even with the traction problems.
12.7@109 pre trunk set-up :lol:
i rev up to about 1750-1800 before it starts to spin. I have cured the wheel hop by just getting the tires a little warmer and it sticks way better. The wheel hop cost me about 2 tenths on the 1/4 overall.
Some control arms will stop the hop,and drop some time.
Coopdog, throw a polished supercharger on it.
i love the giggle juice :lol: but look in the near future for polished tt set up :beerchug:Quote:

well i went back to the track today. I used my diablo predator tuner and advanced the timing 1.5 degrees and richened it up and it ran a 16.128 2nd time out. I never got to do another pass due to a heater hose breaking. But if i had let it cool down, by the time it cooled off later in the night it would have ran 15.9's. So hopefully next time it will run after i replace the hose.
I ran a 15.3 @90.52 in the 1/4 with a tuner axle back and CAI.
New time of 15.85 @ 86mph, (used to be 16.0 @ 88mph) Would have been up to two tenths better but I was spinning off the line and the tires broke loose when the car shifted from first to second. Probably could have gotten a 15.7 run out of it that night but without some drag slicks/ or no spin, 15.8 is bout has good as it's going to get for a while.
I seen a stock Saturn ION run a 16.2 lol
I need to run some v6 stangs in my tacoma!!!
What altitude are you guys at? that will change things for most all of you!
at pir in portland i'd say around 1000 or so. The local track here in medford which is actually about an hour away is around 3000-3500 i think.
I raced a supercharged Ion running mid to low 14's It was a nice looking car too. Also raced a 3.8 Mercury Couger with Borla exhaust system and some bolt-ons. It was standard but slow on take-off and I beat it(this was before the gears, programmer, t-lock) I thought It would beat me. The altitude is 192 above sea level. Red River Raceway
I havent run mine yet. My best so far is a 16.1, automatic. All I had back then was my cold air and my exhaust setup. Since then, I have no clue what time can be. I have all the bolt ons in my sig at this moment. BUT!!!
I may have an idea of what the time may be. My buddy Greg, has an 03 V6, auto, and has one or two LESS bolt ons that I have but is SCT tuned. Ran a 15.1 at the track and kept that as his best time.
Now, if I were to add in the bbk 70mm throttle body im looking for and tune it? I would say I would hit a high/mid 14. On a good cool night.
Till then, I stand questionable.
haven't been to the track yet but with all the street racing crack downs i will be going soon

:lol:
15.1 is around where my goal is. I was mad last time I went to the track and couldn't muster more than a 15.885 at 86mph with a .195 R/T and a 2.295 60'. I was hoping to be around 15.4. I only improved several tenths better than my previous time of 16.051 at 88.9mph with similar R/T and such. And the 16.051 was before gears, t-lock, and tune, 15.885 after thoes mods, sucked. I need to do some suspension mods and borrow my friends drag slick (and figure out how to hook up my damn Zex nitrous kit) b/c I was spining off the line and broke traction durring the 1-2 shift.
i dont have any times yet but plan on gettin some.
