Went to the track yesterday, very disappointed with the results.

Best run:
RT .327
60' 2.448
330 6.896
1/8 10.502
MPH 68.94
1000 13.563
1/4 16.135
MPH 87.05

2nd Best run:
RT .269
60' 2.379
330 6.832
1/8 10.462
MPH 68.37
1000 13.549
1/4 16.139
MPH 86.73

The first 2 runs were on 36psi front and back, they were 16.218 and 16.135. I launched at 2000 rpm. 3rd and final run was 16.139 on 22psi front 36 rear, 4000 rpm launch, car was really hot on the 3rd, much cooler on the first 2. Yes I know my RT sucks, thats the first thing im working on, 2nd is -why is my car so slow? I might have fouled plugs, i will pull them this weekend, probably change the fuel filter too.

Wow! You have those mods and I ran 1/10 slower 60' time!? I drove my car stright to the track. No wieght reduction, didn't lower tire pressure, nothing. Hell, I still had the stock air box and paper filter with a 2200. Either Eco's aren't as fast as everyone says, or you need to practice driving.

lol, thats probably right, but I ran mid 15's last summer. Im thinking its the car, I will find out more this weekend.

RT dont mean jack, unless you are bracke racing

i see you have the prokit springs. i hope you upgraded the shocks, caause if you didnt your stockers are probaly blown. that dont help your suspension



Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!

Stockers are blown, trying to decide what to do with suspension.

It just means he didn't launch well. Either way, he is still over .5 of a second faster and traps 5 mph more than you do. Both of you could do better with a better launch.

My plugs were fouled pretty bad, and they were the wrong length (autolight 103s). The car seems more responsive with the new and correct plugs.I also had a cracked elbow to my CAI so I was sucking in air from behind the radiator instead where the fog light would be. I am saving to replace the struts with some lowering struts. Should be able to get those in a week or two, havnt decided what ones yet.

I am going to the track again the end of April or first of May, we will see what fixing those things make.
