Overall I had fun today, once I got the hang of everything, the first couple runs kind of showed me the ropes, then after that it was burnout heaven and racing

 

Not to be a dick but how the hell are you pulling 2.3 60ft times with an A4 and 2.73's??? Might want to let some air out of your tires next time but anyways congrats on going to the track. Its fun isn't it

 

No offence taken, ironic you would say that, I just added air yesterday, and im sure there was to much in them for today, I was going to let some air out, but for whatever reason (for example I was to excited to stop getting in line) to let the air out :P, what psi do you recommend? I got p235 55r 16's good year eagle HR's. Im sure temperature matter somewhat.

 

sweet times...and super chevy show is always a great time....i love that show... hey least u won one race! just get that 60ft down and u'll be in business!

 

Letting air out of street tires doesn't help.

2.3 seems like an appropriate 60' for a 2.73-geared A4 on his first time out. bomb, were you brake-torquing it?

 

Not sure if I was brake torquing it on them runs, but I did on a couple runs my lowest 60' is 2.209. My first few runs I never had enough time to torque it up mostly because I was still getting the hang of things, but my last runs it was torqed up.

 

After the gears, get a good converter and a set of sticky tires. You will be quite a bit quicker then. Where you spinning much of the line?

 

My car won't even spin the tires on a highway, let alone a prepped track, so no tire spin.

 

I get more tirespin at the drag strip than I do on the street. The prep is for drag tires and doesn't seem to help much at all with street tires. I'm under the distinct impression that it actually makes it worse.

The only time I've ever shifted into second and had the tires come loose (I don't mean they chirped, I mean they spun and didn't hook until I let off) was at the drag strip. I heard several people (the ones with drag tires) comment that traction was really good that day.

Now, on that day, I didn't know yet that letting the air out of street tires doesn't help, and I think I had them around 25psi, maybe a little less. So it's entirely possible that I wasn't hooking because my tires were underinflated.

 

Not bad times for a stock LT1 with 2.73's and an A4. Get those gears in, do a full exhaust, stall, stickies, and get it tuned. Then you'll think you have a brand new car!!!! Good luck man, speed gets addicting!

 

2.2 60' is decent, and your times are spot on where they should be with your mods. Your MPH shows that you are making the power, now work on the launch a little and you'll be knocking on the 13's.

Dan

 

Them are all in the plans

Yea, my launch/ RT is terrable, once I get the light timing down ill be doin good

 

Your times aren't bad at all and you probably have some room for improvement still.

 

Isn't the track so much fun!? My first time out I was so excited, I didn't even care that I ran a 16.95 in my v6 LOL!

 

Thats not bad is it?
