Sooo close to 12's

[kzoosho]

Well last night i went to the track to get some times. First off, I couldnt build more than 12psi and got it way late. Also it felt as if i was losing power up top again this could be a result from losing boost. Well heres the slip from my best of 3 runs. Im car 619

Nice time! What tires were you running up front?

[kzoosho]

24.5x8.5x15 Mickey T's

[maxhopper]

I would think your 60' time would have been a bit better on those.

[kzoosho]

My best was 1.74 but um if you check the drag slips for max's its right up there as far as being on point with slicks. Dandy pulled a 1.73 to my 1.74 so its not off by much.

[maxhopper]

Yeah, it's been a while since I've been to the track or seen any times. Great time none the less. Any thought of mixing in a little spray? I know Hal used to run a 150 shot, but I'm not talking anything that outrageous.

[kzoosho]

Yea im installing a 100 shot on top of boost to get it deep in the 12's maybe high 11's

[NewDad=4drs]

Are you running any sort of intercooler?

[allensteiner]

that's still a good time. i'm stock so would be far from that...but can't find out without a track

how much boost do you run? i thought you were up to 16psi.

edit: maybe the rpm switch is out of whack on your mevi?

my mevi is tied open. I was running 18psi but for some reason i cant make more than 12psi.

But of course 24x12x4

[NewDad=4drs]

ok, just thinking about your top end power loss.

Air to air, I assume.

The one thing that a 75hp dry shot helped me with on my 16psi s/c Gen 2 Lightning was that it brought down my intake air temps significantly because 16 psi is over spooling the stock eatonbeyond it's efficient capacity. This was even compared to just running a power cooler full of ice water thru my intercooler with larger heat exchanger.

F/I just creates soo much heat that anything that brings down that intake air temp is awesome. I just wouldn't go too high with a dry shot.

IMO your 60ft time is very respectable for a FWD vehicle.

you need to give me that supercharger and see what i can do lol. really not to bad, i agree a small n2o shot will help your intake temps. are you intercooled?

[spazzyfry123]

That's a fast Max! Congrats on the times.

[AcMav]

As a heads up he already said he is Intercooled. I think thats a damn fast time, for a street car i wouldn't even bother with nitrous and I'd consider weight reduction (Fiberglass Hood / Trunk Hood / Rear Seat Removal). How much gas did you have in the tank at the time? A full tank weights almost 180 pounds i believe, running near E could definitely get you into the 12's. I'd guess you have the spare tire removed but its worth mentioning.

Suspension surprisingly can add a good amount of time as well if you can keep the car well grounded.

Did you run Ice on the Intercooler for that run?

I Cant remember if you have a bubble or not on your sunroof, If so that should probably go

Just my 2 cents Cheers with the fast max

I wont run a dry shot for personal reasons but charge cooling is one of the reasons for wanting to add N2O. The car is full weight and a dd so theres not much weight i can get rid of. I have a quarter tank of gas also.

Nah no ice on intercooler. I actually had a car full of crap i.e jack stands jack easy 200 pounds of crap.

[flyboy367]

actually he should be faster and with that extra 200lbs he says i can see why. i ran a 98 pontiac gtp (3.8l supercharged ona 4000lb chassis) and with simple mods was in the 12's. thats about 10lbs of boost. on this faster revving engine and lighter car he should be quicker. id definitly shed the wieght but leave the hood since you want wieght over your drive wheels. rear seat is probably 20lbs and pump your rear tires to 45psi. less rolling resistance. also look into a water to air ic or add a spraybar. your 16psi turns to 12psi in the ic and gets hot, not as hot as no ic and strait boost. a liquid to air is more efficent and ill bet you see big gains.

[NewDad=4drs]

for some reason I don't see anything other than the quotes of our statements. But, yeah...the former GTP owner and me are very familiar with how an Eaton acts when she's hot!!

[kzoosho]

3 inch downpipe is on the way. Also somehow i lost all the bolts that hold the compressor housing on so that was causing some boost leak. Now im going to address the downpipe issue . That should help my spool and bring my top end back.
