first time at the track

[delong_1]

finally got out to the track last night. first run was 13.6, got into the lights a bit early left late with a soft 60'. on my 5th run i ran 12.99, 1.8 60, .450 r/t. im a bit dissapointed, i was hoping for a better time than 12.99 but it was my first time and i still have a few things to work on. this is with all mods in sig, with 285 bfg at/s. running 3100 P/W.

Nothing wrong with running 12s no matter how deep into them you get.

congrats man welcome to club 12 :happy2: it takes a while to get it dialed in you will get the time down there . look at it this way now you have something to work on

congrats, I basically had your same setup and I went from a 13.0 to a 12.32 with just a GT4094. How much are you weighing in?

 

[delong_1]

im not sure on weight, i dont have a hitch or spare ever. ran with about 1/2-1/4 tank and no tailgat. ex/sb i ran out of time to get to a scale yesterday.

also i used just a stock tcm tune, normally when i run the two tunes together it shifts fast/smooth. but last night it was defueling a bit so i obviously need to work on that also.

what was your MPH ? it can tell alot .

 

[delong_1]

.445 r/t, 1.83 60', 330 5.316, 1/8 [email protected], 1/4 12.990@104

better 60 should get ya in the 12.7-12.8 , and work on the tuning to get some more MPH . nice run though you will get it going faster !

r/t doesn't affect 1/4 times. You need to try some different tires for sure. If you go from a 1.83 to a 1.65 your probably around mid 12's

i know my start is killing my et, they were all 103-104 ALL of them, even the 13.6. but my r/t and 60 are really killing my times.

 

[delong_1]

i plan on ditching the at's and lowering it soon.

reaction times do not have an impact on your 1/4 ET at all. You need to improve your 60's and then everything will follow. Good luck

MPH is the true indicator of horsepower. With some tuning and the 4094 I would think you should be in the 110-114 mph range.Do you have dual cp3's? If not probably knock a few mph off. more in the 108-110 range. Like has been said don't worry about reaction time, just launch when you feel you are spooled properly.

If not probably knock a few mph off. more in the 108-110 range. 60 ft's play a part but not as much as you would think. My slower 60 ft's almost always yield a higher trap speed.

i'd say 108-109 stock cp3 is about the max then you will need more fuel to go faster. What is the elevation of your track?

 

[delong_1]

track is around 5k
