No doubt... with a 2.1 60ft and all! Hell my brothers 650awhp S4 only ran 128mph after the same 60ft... But hes bad, his car is capable of 140+ traps

Going for my first non-stock day at the drag strip this Friday. Hoping to get into the low 13's with my new exhaust. As long as it's better than my stock 13.5 from a few weeks ago I'll be happy.

Some questions for you. How do you guys adjust tire pressure at the track? I know how to decrease, but how do you add air pressure? Portable air compressor or something? Also, what pressures should I run when I'm there. I'll probably end up stopping at a gas station near the track to make the adjustment.

It's trial & error, see what works and doesn't work. Just keep lowering until you see a consistent improvement. Putting air back in isn't always an option, depends on the track if they have an air compressor or not.

FYI, 25 psi seems to be the sweetspot for my Z. You lose a little mph when you drop the rear tire pressure but get better traction (and hopefully a better ET). It sometimes helps to pump up the air pressure in the front tires to help weight transfer. Just practice, see what whats and doesn't, that's what makes it fun.

Ok I'll see what I can do. Going a bit earlier this time so I can get some more runs in. I'll see what I can do with normal tire pressures first and then start lowering if needed. So with the better traction of lower tire pressure, should I be launching at a slightly higher rpm? At normal pressured the sweet spot seems to be around 1500 rpm for the 7AT.

Launch as hard as you can. I think the stock torque converter locks up at 1500 RPM? Can anyone confirm? If that's true, then that is the max RPM you can launch at.

No that's not the max, but I'm not sure what the max is exactly. Usually if I launch at higher than 1500, I get wheelspin at launch and my 60 ft times are crap. I guess since lowering the pressure will increase traction, I should be able to launch a bit higher.

Nope. Forgot about a wedding I have to go to tonight. I thought it was Saturday night, but I was wrong. Have other weddings to go to next Friday and Saturday nights. So now, I'm aiming for two weeks from tonight.

If it was next weekend I'd be there Andre. Good luck !

I'm itching to get back there. But my oil cooler doesn't seem to Be functioning correctly , I need to figure it out. Car gets hot and stays hot. Pretty mch like I dont even have a cooler. And that will just be annoying at the track having to wait even longer.

You had your car tuned by Adam? He tuned my car. With your H.P. you should be in the low 12s. Wait till cool weather. I'll go with you. If you can catch & pass me in cool weather, you should be under 12.5.......

Here's a quick way to check if oil is flowing through the core:

Switch your display to view the outside temperature. If you did not relocate the sensor it should be somewhat behind the oil cooler, and it ends up reading higher temps than ambient. The size of the core will determine how much higher the temp sensor will read more than the [correct] ambient temperature.

Are you coming back to PBIR this winter?

Adam originally tuned my car but he left and drew retuned it. I agree with you on low 12s! And cant wait to get there again. Would be awesome if you were there too. I'll pm u soon.


And tranceforner I'm confused on ur temp sensor technique lol
