Drag Racing - Best setup you have had.

[Dz811]

14.8? wow i managed that time with a host of mods torana that's quick as

try taking your spare tyre out, and interceptors are probably a little too thin to be launching off unless theyre at a fairly low tyre pressure. (34 might be ok, i just use the std 17s...)
Pump your front wheels up nice and high (go by the highest rating on your tyres, usually mid 40s psi) to minimise rolling resistance.
DONT USE RETARDED FUEL ADDITIVES...
and turn off everything, lights, air con, fans etc.
Take your engine covers off, and if you're really game, take your air filter out for the run. there's heaps of little things you can do, even get slightly smaller profile tyres for the interceptors, which is the equivalent of shortening your gear ratios a little.

Trial and error... and money

14.8 with the standard 17" rims with Dunlop SP3000 235 tyres. I ran a very similar time without stalling it up btw. Burnouts are a waste of time with normal street tyres, get some semislicks for a better 60 footer.

Time slip or it didnt happen, what mods have you done?

ok, that wasn't funny...

i've run a 14.81 in mine, but it's manual and i'm running a catback, dyno tune at vcm suite autotechnique, heavy duty exedy clutch, Custom CAI and manifold insulators, and i ran it on half a tank with no spare in the boot.... so i'm guessing at castle hill they have super powers?...maybe?...

Ive already posted my timeslip on here, i will repost it here for you ok. Also my car aint stock its got a VCM tune, K&N Airfilter and all new bushes thoughout the suspension, i know my car gained a higher then average amount of power especially in the midrange which would help also.
Also DZ811 the only extra mods you have are manifold insulators and catback which would not gain much more power then mine would make with just the tune so it makes sense that our cars would be quite even over the 1/4. Also the 5 speed auto makes it alot eaiser to get off the line. Also a few of the guys that went on one of the JCCC cruises can vouch for how quick my car is
Left lane

 

[impulsive]

so your in the left lane if we were looking at it upside down?

what setup were you running, Stally? I think my car might have the potential to break into the high 14s (14.9) or very low 15s with the right setup..

im off to willowbank tomorrow night, was curious what setup has worked best for you.

I have a vz sv6 alloytec
best time i ran was 15.539, 16" Chasers, 34 PSI 2200 RPM Stall. TC on little wheel spin
I also ran a 15.573 with my 19" ROH furys, 2000rpm stall. TC OFF little wheel spin.

What do you think would be the better setup.. im particulary worried about traction as i suffered badly at drag day.

Try 15inch rims and let the tyres down a bit more.

No i was is the left lane as it says on the timeslip lol, the guy in the right lane was a worked proton satria lol.

I was running with the standard SV6 17"rims with good rubber, the spare tyre was left in the car but the Subs ect were taken out. I stalled the car at around 2500rpm and let it rip. This was done at Western Sydney International Dragway. You do know they run a 15.3 dead standard right?

14.3@96mph... with basic mods...

way back in 2008... dont think anyone with basic mods has gone quicker yet...

 

[Dz811]

BY BASIC YOU MEAN SUPERCHARGED YEH?....
coz that's near impossible surely...
