How to run 1/4 mile, First time

Maddog

Took my 370 a/t on the strip for the first time yesterday

Stock apart from cat back and k&n's and I lowered the tyre pressures to 28psi (RE050's)

Tried a hard launch in manual with t/c off and it span up hard in 1st and 2nd and headed for the wall , came off it and drove down to a 15.1

Second try , in auto with t/c off span hard again 1st and 2nd and ran a 14.0@105 (2.5s 60')

Third try , in auto with t/c on and cutting in 1st , 2nd and 3rd , ran another 14 at 95 again 2.5 60 foot.

Fourth try , a good dry hop to clear the tyres , traction off but trying to launch just as the trans gives drive again 2.5 60 foot and 14.0 @ 105

Gave up

Track was very slick , first RWYB of the year really and the temperature only hit about 50 degrees , just too cold I think

Another try later in the year I think

Z&I

By All Means ... Get back out there and apply what you've learned.
105mph - your car runs like it should and it wants to go fast ... Congrats !
Quick 1/4 miles aren't as easy as you'd think :-) but it is both challenging, rewarding, and definitley a learning experience ....
