I will find a link of all drag strips in all states. or just search old forums, I think I posted it there. go to rdtiburon.com/old and go to drag racing section.

constantly check out drag racing section smile.gif

 

lol I just checked up on that strip site...

Good thing there isn't a track in my state smile.gif

 

are you serious?

thank sux man!

 

The conditions vary so much it's hard to compare unless you're at the same strip. I ran a 15.9@89.9mph stock 82F 15% Humidity@1800ft ele (well, except I have custom wheels that weigh 14lbs instead of the 19lbs for the stock wheels).

IIRC intake and exhaust can get you comfortably into the mid-high 15s. It really takes a turbo or nitrous to get below 15 (or heavy heavy NA work). Weight reduction can make a HUGE difference. Even taking out the spare helps.

very nice times man smile.gif

 

Thanks, I practice my launches every day to and from work.

I think the 14" wheels (vs 15" alloys) losing 5lbs really helps.... plus the Falken Ziex 512s are sooooo much stickier than the stock Michelins.

I have the same car as in your sig, except for the big shark wing on the back laugh.gif

 

launches are the most important part of the whole race smile.gif

 

I ran low 16's all day when I was completely stock, even tires. I ran a 15.9 with intake and crank pulley, stock tires.
It depends where you live (weather, elevation, track setup).
There used to be two tracks here. One was "known" to be 2mph faster.

I agree with Odessit that's maybe 80% of the result, but also don't forget to restart your ECU before doing your launch... that could seriously affect your performance.

reseting ECU didn't do anything for me.
