Well here's my 3 best 1/4 mile runs.........

60ft / 1/4 ET / MPH

1) 1.960 / 13.861 / 97.58

2) 1.910 / 13.875 / 96.61

3) 1.946 / 13.893 / 95.92


What do think I'll run with better 60ft times?

 

We were talking about you last night at Zippy's.

I believe that the consensus was 13.6, or at least knocking at 13.6's door like Ed is.

I still can't figure your numbers out. Do you know that my time was with a 1.893? That must be good proof that you're turning some more ponies than I am.

I doubt that there's anyway my wife's going to trick me into not going to the track tonight. I'm turning that boost controller up a little bit more. I've got at least another 1/2 lb in her before I should worry. Nice to have the ability to see knock.

Pat

 

Also, I did those runs at a lower boost, between 13.5 and 14.0 psi. I'd like to figure out a higher boost setting for the SBC-iD,
I'd like to see what I'd run at 16.0 psi!

 

here's my best from last night.

1.863 60 ft

13.707 et

97.19 mph

this was done with mike's wheels and tires. still spinning quite a bit off the line though.

i'm getting frustrasted with my times cause i'm sure my car can go quicker, at least a tenth or so but it's probably the driver. suck!

i need NOS. and lots of it!

 

What's stopping you? I already know the answer, but are you going tonight?

 

Damn if you need NOS. I need two of um, the big ones. nice times.

 

ED,

Sounds like you need an LSD. That'll help with the wheelspin.

 

Anyone know where I can get some dry ice?

 

Dom, .... duh, the wrx already has an LSD.

 

In the front too? I thought only the STi came with the Front LSD...
I didn't see anything about the front....

The only reason I'm talking about a front diff is because I've seen a lot of pics with smoke coming off one front tire only when a WRX launches. That tells me two things:
Open front carrier
Center diff has a significant time delay before transfering sufficient power to the rear to prevent enough front wheel spin for a smoking front tire. A front LSD should have both fronts pulling which should minimize the amount of tire spin on the line, giving stronger launches and shorter 60' times.

Are we on the same page or were you talking about the rear all along?

 

wrong page

and ALL the tires spin! :devil: ask Ed what his car looked like when I drove it!
but yeah, a front lsd would help with wheel spin somewhat

But right now, my philosophy is:
Wheelspin on launch = No broken Tranny or Diff

 

setting 63
gain 13
gave me= 16.5

Still playing with it...

a setting of 55-65 should take you into the boost cut off range but I could be wrong

 

Me and you need to play with my SBC-iD one night at the track. See if we can dial it in just right.

 

If you aint hitting cut you aint trying.
