That'll be cool

I didn't get the tune done, the clutch was slipping so I am going to try breaking it in more and hope that works

I was planning on going this past Friday, but Capitol Raceway is under new management and closed indefinitely

Went to the track last saturday only was able to run 5 times so a 13.0 was my best on the new tires, but that was also straight into a 15mph head wind lol. On the final run of the day I got the feel of the tires and how I was able to launch it whith the best results and that got me the 13.0 should have been in the 12's again but oh well just need to hit the track again this spring or fall.

What tires and what were the 60s?

One_Quick_Z

Tires ADO8's and 60' times where 2.0ish. I know if I was able to get more runs I would have been in the 12's it was only my third time actually driving the car this year and I only got five runs that day. Didnt heat the tires enough and that caused me to not be able to launch the car any higher than 2.5k except on the last run which was the 13.0 time. maybe at the end of this month I might try and make it back to Byron.

well, had my first time out this weekend with the new setup and tune on the car. There was way too much wheel spin, the ET can be much lower but I'll fix this

Best I did was 12.35 @ 121 and 60ft didn't show but I was a consistent 2.0-2.2

This is EXACTLY how I did my first time out. (12.28 @121). Then, 11.98, then 11.72, then....

Keep at it. Get tires. Props.

121 trap speed is excellent. What tires are you using? If you're trying to do well on street tires, I'll give some advice, give up now. Get some drag radials or slicks and you'll be much more satisfied.

I started with street tires on my supercharged Challenger. Best I could ever do was 12.82 at 119-120. Went to a M&H drag radial and instantly went 12.0 at 121 and eventually learned to shift better and got down to 11.53 at 124.

Slapped slicks and skinnies on the Challenger Saturday for the first time. 11.19 at 126. Makes it the 2nd fastest 6 speed Challenger in the world at this point. First is a 10.95...notice I said 6 speed. The auto guys are well in to the 9s and some 8s.

60 foot was 1.65 and it's a 4300 pound car. That Z will take off like a rocket with traction.

P.S. if you guys would rather me not post info about this Challenger on here just lemme know, but figured some of the same principles I learned with it will help you with the Z.

thanks guys! Nice to know Im in line to run times like COOP

I dropped the car off at a transmission shop here in silverdale, WA about 1hr ago to get the OS Giken installed. There is a "Discount tire direct" store about 15 minutes from me so when I get the car back ill be stoppin in for some toyo R888. Skinnies and slicks would be cool but I am going to need something to throw them in when I go to the track, wife has an eclipes :/ and they are not going into the Z. Coilovers will do me wonders too, I am still on the stock suspension and the body roll is rediculous. I did have coilovers at one point and with nothing else done to the car yet, I increased my trap speed by 3mph

I am going to try and get another tune also, maybe 12psi (seems to be ok for stock block others are doing it??....) and setting the boost controller's valve controller (HKS EVC) to open up sooner. The valve controller is setup for 4,800 rpm as of right now. The only issue I have with increasing boost is that I am only at 9.5psi but I am also making good power, the compression in the cylinder due to power output at that psi level sort of makes me unsure about doing it.

Speedy: Great driving! That heavy car exploded off the line, and you were bangin' those shifts. Props.

Went to Ennis today and got some actual 1/4 mile times. Really hot and humid out but got a decent run i guess. My mods are just a CNT exhaust now. I'm car 914.

The 350 guys 1/4 thread is impressive at this point. C'mon guy!!!! Get your boosted cars with some real rubber to the strip !!!

What's crazy is the 350s nitrous list. A ton of 11 second n20 cars. Vqs seem to like it.
