Tunerfest 1/4 results...

A lexus can't hook? Do you even think before you type? I can show you about two dozen examples of a Lexus "hooking".

Watch out.....I think Thacker has a patent on the word "hooking" since he uses it every other sentence.....you may have to pay some royalties or something......

[GGPIS3]

You are an idiot. How about tires... Thats what makes a car work (60ft) on the drag strip.

There is a lexus cutting a 1.36 60ft. Not bad for a NON hooking car What kind of 60ft's have you run?

[GGPIS3]

^^ nope.. unless God came down and touched my car and made it run on its own hah. my GGP IS has been down and is still down. more than likely, you saw a friends car.. i believe its auto making about 400ish rwhp. very nice indeed.

damn sorry to hear about ur car. But i couldnt tell u if it sounded similar to that b/c it flew by the Gwinnett ride up group going pretty damn fast so all i heard was mostly bov. I just know it was the same color as urs.

I was in the white 4 door with the red gt3s... 2300 pound 4 door with full interor and street tires{16's} . I started out running 13.6's as i got some dr's and they were to large. I was over powering them at the start and was underpowering them at the top end... Put my street tires on and picked up 4 mph and started dropping my times.. Got it down to this...

mph 113.56

Its got a 12 in it on slicks for shure ....Just spinning thru 1-3 unless i give it half throttle and a lot of feathering...Not to bad for a 4 door...

[Annihilation]

Couldnt get the car to hook for **** even with 275s and no traction down the track... drag slicks next time. had to take off slow then feather everytime i shift due to traction problems prolly lost a whole 2secs atleast and 5-10mphs

I seriously need some slicks even with the drag radials I couldn't get traction.

My best trap speed was 103.76. This was my first time at a dragstrip, and I was not launching. (RPM at idle before green light)

[Doppelgänger]

My first time at the track in 7yrs and having no clue as to what I was doing. Also, my gearing/tire size SUCKS for 1/4 mi. I was running out 4th about 200-250ft before the last beams... so by the time i'd shift to 5th and get back into boost it was nearly pointless. So on this run i just ran 4th, bumped the fuel cut and coasted. If i go again, i'll either be running a smaller wheel/tire and short shifting into 5th OR run a taller race slick (not a DR, just some sticky slicks i have sitting around) so 4th will get me through the lights.

This was on my bogged launch on Nitto NeoGen street tires. I know with even a better street tire {different size} and good launch I should be in the very low 13's and ~105mph+

Please say you were not running an untuned turbo car at the track.

You are not the only one who noticed that!! I was starting to get traction at the top of 3rd gear. 115mph it's good for a low 12.

[Init2winit]

So 13.12 is the fastest?

`yes untuned..... my snap-on scanner shows air fuel to be inrange throughout rpms so i decided to hit the track to see how it does . its just a starting point to see where my car stands and what i need to do to it.

plus if the motor blows its kool they are cheap to build plus i dont pay for my own labor...

Don't you have a cobra?

yeah, embarrassing, I know...

[Init2winit]

yeah, embarrassing, I know...

Is it stock? Mine is bone stock, with some weld in flowmasters, and I wen't some 13.0's driving to the track in the middle of summer, without any cool down of the charger. I suspect it'll go a bit faster with some cooler weather. I was just curious.

What track were you at?

Ive got an intake, o/r X, weld in flows and just installed a 2.76 minutes before heading to the track. I had to let out of it in every gear to muster those times. Plus, I havent learned the best launching technique for this car yet.

[youngmill]

i'M KINDA PROUD OF THIS ONE.

[big mac]

any cobalts running up there?

[youngmill]

their was one guy, with the ss version dataloging because it was his first time being at the strip.

That was at silver dollar. I took it to commerce one time, and it was about a tenth slower. Same senario though, drove it there and didn't cool it off. What programmer do you have? An old cobra I had, had the same mods as yours except for the exhaust. It had the factory h-pipe, and a mac cat back. With a diablo predator, it made 480 to the wheels with a pretty much perfect tune right out of the programmer. I didn't even have to make any adjustments.

holy hell. I have the predator with the box pulley tune. Im looking to get a borla stinger catback and ditch this factory piping. I've been hearing that you can actually make more power with a catted mid pipe vs. an o/r unit. You know anything about that?

Generally with an O/R midpipe you will loose slightly more low end, but make up for it and then some up top compared to a catted mid pipe.
