[LGAFF]

Any interest in hitting Byron tomorrow....Test and Tune!

I am going to get the 92 out as long as the GSCs are not square from sitting

I'm tempted. Should be decent weather. But I need to leave by 2

My 90 from last week.....guy next to me was nice enogh to share it!

He has a 95 w/long tubes....1.6RR and drag radials

He was happy when he spanked me on the first run....I launched at 1800 and ran a 13.6.....by this run I was 12.88 at 112.68

92 was a struggle today had to launch at 900RPM just to get a run in....then I was all over the place in terms or times/MPH. I used to be able to launch at 1800-2000 and hook.

Launches at 1100 or more resulted in doing burnouts through first and second......

ran a 12.83 @ 115.73 with a 2.92 60ft and 91.08 1/8th mile
then a 13.12 @ 114.6 missing a shift

12.83 at 114.


Same setup that had me in the 117s and 12.5/4s

The 92 definately has more power but its getting no better results than my 90 which ran 12.88 at 113 last week....in pretty much a stock set up:dontknow:

[WB9MCW]

Soundz like Mr Murphy is buggin ur 92.

[jonszr1]

or it could be the 92 is jealous that you are giving a bunch of atten to the 90 . i had the same prob when i brought the 92 home . the 90 got pissed offf:mrgreen:

[LGAFF]

oddly enough the Sumitomos I ripped on earlier hooked great on my 90, and a guy in a Trans AM was running them hitting 1.8 60fts.....might need to try them on my 92. They seems crappy on hard street launches, but seem to do well at the track.

Bottom line, I am not a fan of the 4.09 gear

HMMMMMMMM........business?


By the way Hans a CL65 ran 11.3 @ 126 today with a very soft launch. Hope he is not calling you for a new trans soon?

Here's a couple of vids from Byron today. Couldn't get a better day weather wise. They had over 300 cars there. A gracious young man took these two vids so they're not terrific but you get the flavor.

They had us pretty well mixed in with different types of cars. I dropped my tire pressure (street tires) to 30psi and that made a big difference in 60' ttimes and 1/8 MPH.

My numbers for the day were:

Running an 08 C6 Coupe 6 speed.

12.797 @ 116.34 C6 12.892 @113.37 :mrgreen:

Running the Saleen Mustang in the vid

12.786 @115.27 Mustang No sense in posting :mrgreen:

Running a Mitsu Evo

12.71 @ 116.19 Evo 12.589 @ 110.82 I won top end by .2014


Although pulling air from tires helped launch, 2nd gear still a problem. Tires slip and need to back off till they grip again. I can see how DRs could make a difference.

There may be one more vid of me running the C6. I'll post if I get it. :thumbsup:

nice runs for street tires . next time try short shifting from 1st to sec. at 5800 . i found it really helped me . having 392s in 1 car and 410s in another , i am starting to agree that 3.45s might be actually faster at the strip. you would have a better chance of hooking i think . i have a set of 345s i would like to try. if you decide to go the drag radials route ,i found that the 2.75x40x17s work better than the 315x35x17 due to the larger sidewall .that helps a manual car launch.thanx for the videos

Brian,

I think he was in low 10s @ 130 or so. So fast stuff came out yesterday. I guess there's a bracket money run next week.

[LGAFF]

I will say the 4:09s are great from a roll, on the way home on some backroads around Union, I I had 2 Ducatti bikes follow me, we were messing around and one tried passing me on a 2 mile straight(this is in the middle of no where).....after flying up on the back of the car. He pulled up along side.....and was egging me on....I hammered from 3rd and stayed side by side with him......I am sure he was not at full throttle, but we came to a stop and he said that he was surpirsed at the accel from 50+ we ran up to about 120mph. :thumbsup:
