first pass in 2-3 years! I sucked!

sk8world · 04-20-2008, 11:08 PM

Well I decided to go watch the local KING OF THE STREET event and make a few passes in the mix. Was shooting for a 6.9 and missed the mark by a good bit. Needless to say! First pass was a 7.6 @ 95mph 1.7 60, 2nd was a 8.1 @ 95 mph 2.0 60 and 3rd was a 8.0 @ 99.5 mph (nice 2.3 60 footer!) Added a little more boost each pass and they all felt good. the last pass I was smiling all the way down thinking I cut a good time but I spun way too much out of the hole and it hurt the time more than I figured. This was on 19-22psi. I was leaning it out each run as I was seeing mid 10's (afr's) on each pass. I still think I can pull of the 6.9 once I get it all figured out. But was not very plessed with the times but the car atleast felt solid and powerful...

Traps are pretty good. You will get back in the groove

sk8world · 04-20-2008, 11:21 PM

I hope soon. I really do not want to add any more boost until I get the 60's down. I have some new Q16 race gas I ws going to go tune on next week and raise the boost up to 26 or so but dosnt seem worth it just yet.

crazy thing is I went 7.8 on stock twins and motor, went 7.5 with stock motor and 40r turbo with 16-18psi, now with ported motor 4094 turbo and more boost and is not adding up just yet!

P71 · 04-20-2008, 11:39 PM

Post up your slip and mods list and I'll add you to the Top 25.

Sometimes it's just getting back into driving that affects the times and not necessarily the car.

sk8world · 04-20-2008, 11:47 PM

yeah, I defintley need more seat time to remember it all. Heck, I was cutting better 60's on my street tires back before.. lol

busted7 · 04-21-2008, 08:26 PM

Hey again i posted in the other forum but i like to talk racing!

Your going to find the combination its a different setup and its going to take seat time to get a handle on it!
On the smaller turbo i launch at 7800 and its into boost as i leave the line you may have to go higher you will just have to see. I would drop et pressure to 15 psi and go from there. I would not go as lo as eric as it gets funney op top but in the 1/8 it probley wont be bad.

A 6.90 1/8 is in the 10's 1/4 mile. But i ran 7.001 1/8 and ran 10.8 @ 127mph.

keep us posted on your times as i might go to the same turbo as you have ive about maxed out the 62-1, plus im pulling for you and zinx we all run about the same!

Good luck on the next trip!

sk8world · 04-21-2008, 10:46 PM

Thanks Busted.. I still have your number and next time I get on the road with some time to chat I will buzz you.

Brent · 04-22-2008, 05:38 AM

Hey Mike, what kind of tires are you running out of curiosity? I'm sure your times will drop next time out. Besides, you still have plenty of time before the SFS event in October

sk8world · 04-23-2008, 01:43 PM

Hey Brent... I am running ET street's.. I am going to try and make the import race in MAy at Steele if I get this car dialed in to some good numbers. But I plan to run a Davids event also. Dont plan on winning anything unless they make some differant classes. But there is no way I can run with 900-1000 rwhp supra's!

85rx-7gsl-se · 04-23-2008, 01:49 PM

Let me know about the Steele event. You should also come up to the IA meet in Nashville in July. The devil is in the 60 fts. I am getting around 1.95 60fts on 215/60-14 BFG DRs with about 200whp. With your power and good tires, you should be closer to 1.50s.

1/8th or 1/4? How was the competition last year?

85rx-7gsl-se · 04-24-2008, 12:23 AM

^ I didn't attend last year and it was at a different facility. Due to the facilities setup, I think its an 1/8th mile drag on the Speedway's pit road with no timing equipment. Nothing real serious, but should be fun and its a great show from what I hear. I think Phil has been to it before.

sk8world · 05-02-2008, 08:07 PM

well, A little better tonight. Only got 1 run in. 7.5 @95mph w/ 1.6 60 footer, "missed
3rd gear"..
