I only have two mods done so far (CAI and Pulley) no tune yet. Additionally I'm currently running Crossfire Limited rims w/ Eagle F1 All-Season tires (my winter setup) with whatever the stock pressure I had in them (I think 36lbs).
The night was very cold (38-37 degrees) and on top of that the track had cones in the middle of the staging area causing you to start in the hole to one of the far edges of the track, outside of the standard "groove". Needless to say traction was a huge problem, possibly because of "where" we were forcing us to line up at the track- possibly because of the low temps (cold track)- and possibly because of the "All"-season tires. Though I'd have to assume it's a little bit of each coupled with an inexperienced driver (me).
Anyway here's what I got-
FIRST RUN: Took off out of the hole at full throttle, big no no apparently- fishtailed the whole way through my 60ft. I did however beat the fox-body Mustang I was pitted against. lol Terrible times.
60ft- 2.327
1/4- 13.8
MPH- 107.39
ouch!!!
SECOND RUN: Took off at partial throttle before I pinned the pedal. It felt like much less slippage however the 60ft wasn't much better. (I lost to a GTO w/ nitrous by .4 sec)
60ft- 2.156
1/4- 12.95
MPH- 108.94
THIRD RUN (final): Had to cut it short with my 3rd run because my wife was frozen solid spectating in the crowd. She sent me some not so nice reminders via text message how cold she was. lol I felt like I got out of the hole about as good (if that's what you want to call it) as the second run but got a better time but slower trap. (I got smoked by a late-model firebird by 7/10ths who trapped at 116)
60ft- ???? (didn't record for the left lane)
1/4- 12.82
MPH- 107.91
Overall I'm disappointed but I had to keep in mind if I'm using Chris (DistantPulse) as a control/reference he was having trouble hooking up and was seeing less than stellar trap speeds as well. However he had 1-day old summer tires he just got installed on his. The combination of the cold-weather vs summer tires, and the fact they were brand new (not even broken in) may of had something to do with it.
Anyway I'm hoping with a warmer track and summer tires I can pull a 12.7-12.5 with the CAI and ASP Pulley. I'll probably finally get around to getting a tune for it before I run it again- hopefully then I'll see low 12's. Then maybe manis, h/e upgrade, and another tune to get me into the 11-second-club. Though that may be wishful thinking. Either way, even though my times weren't stellar- it was my first time running a car at a track in over 10 years, and I still had fun regardless. If it wasn't as cold and I had unlimited times I probably would have ran it 10x to get the launch mechanics down right.
