sry, guys, my back-up didn't take my shift, so I was stuck until 3 pm...this sucks, really wanted to meet Brandon and have my tune tweeked,,,so maybe next time...

 

It was an great day to be at the track. Im happy with my runs (between 12.22 and 12.43) all day. Best time of the day was a 12.2 @ 112 with my best trap being in a slower 12.43 @ 113 but spun the hoosiers off the line. What seemed to hurt the most is the car shifts into 4th gear about 100ft from the 1/4 and wont carry boost and the nose dibs and drops a good 10th off the time.

 

what mods do yu have?

 

LET 181 crank pulley, Needswings CAI, LET H/E, Johnson pump, LET tune and Hoosier 275/40r17 Drag Radials.

 

It was really great meeting up with Brandon from Code 3. I already knew he was a cool guy, from our many calls back and forth. But to met up was cool.

Jerry and Wayne were very busy tuning cars including mine. I was running 12.40& 50's all day with 1.8ish 60fts. before the tune. After he tuned it I ran 12.3 with a 1.77 60 & 7.95 in the 1/8. Both these guys are good people and they put together a very fun event. I dont know what its going to take to get my car to run 12 flat or better may be a 178/code 3 combo

 

it sounds like you guys had a lot of fun, congratulations on your times!

 

Was it hot? You have virtually the same mods on all motor as MD(besides nw mani's, IM tune). With good weather you should be very low 12's.

 

No, it wasnt hot..... it was actually a perfect day for it. A lot of people seemed to be running a few tenths off their usual times. This was my first time at the track in the Crossfire so I cannot comment on that for me personally.

 

Did you have any 1.7's 60' foots? Those are good times for being your first time at the track. The 60' would show if your power is down low or top end.

 

I can tell you, and with no spray.

 

1.7 to 1.8's almost every run that the tires didnt spin. I can only get on the converter to about 2000 before the brakes let go. The open rear diff a killer too, one wheel burn outs suck.

 

Actually if you burn out long enough the second wheel locks up and begins to burn out too. Once this happens, and usually takes a few seconds after the first one starts. They stay locked for the launch. It's actually pretty good, almost like posi at launch.

On the converter, I believe it's the supercharger kicking in that hard to hold back. A tip is once you light the first bulb, then get on the brake hard and rev it up to load the converter as much as possible and it pushes you into the second beam, then hold the brake as hard as you can and be ready to let it go on the 3 yellow as they light up. You should get a great launch and 60' time which will lower your overall time. Mph is always lower on your fastest run. If not, then you are leaving a few hundredths on the launch. Be safe and have fun. Lot's of practice to have great 1/4 mile times.

 

Thanks for the tips. It was a few first for me.... First time at the track in the Crossfire, First time with an automatic and first time with a RWD. I have high hopes for this car and it was a blast at the track and very consistant. I have 12-15 time slips all with in 2 tenths of a second.

 

Awesome. Those slips will put you in the money round. I made $170 this weekend for runner up. Practice reaction times and your a lock. Most of all enjoy your car. I'm having the most fun with this car of any that I've owned.
