Going to the track again

4.6DreameR · November 10th, 2011, 09:42 AM

I'm going to be heading out the the local drag strip with some buddies on sunday. (Track is notorious for terrible prep.)
This will be the first time spraying in the 1/4, advice? 90 wet shot off a WOT switch. (nozzle)
Should I leave on the "2 step" in the BAMA tune or just leave at idle?
Also some quick things I can do for suspension? Should I be dropping the front swaybar for the day?
I want to be able to beat a 99 cobra that is going with me, without spray.
I've only made 4 passes ever, and still getting to know how it reacts in the 1/4.

I'm quick on the shifts, but I could be better/faster still. (In need of driver mod)

4.10s
315/35 nt555s
LCAs
other misc bolt ons

I don't run nitrous but my question is, since your nitrous is operated on a WOT switch, and you want to run a 2 step, wouldn't that cause the nitrous to spray while on the 2 step. If so, I imagine that is bad but I'm sure others with nitrous experience can give you a better answer.

Take the front sway bar off since your using dr's. Get used to launching off the 2step n/a before trying it on spray. If you don't use the 2step on spray bring the rpm up around 2500-2800 slip the clutch enough it starts to hook and go wot by 3000. If your dr's are hot enough you should have no problem running mid 12's.

i'd just slip the clutch out and then mat it and slam some gears...

whats done to the 99 cobra? odds are his 60' will suck and he won't run that great...unles he's got some experience over you
