The Flying Bananna's Maiden Voyage

Hillsbaseball08 · April 11th, 2008, 04:53 PM

So I finally took my car to the drag strip. I got to do 3 runs and here's the slip for my best:

R/T--->.333
60'---->2.230
330'--->5.823
MPH--->65.85
1/8---->8.607
MPH--->87.52

For what I have on my car are those good times? (Modifications are in the signature) What's a good response time?

AndrewA. · April 12th, 2008, 01:44 AM

where at in texas did you run your car. And i think the 60 needs to be under 2 for better results. BUt ive only ran my car once and got a 9.0 . forgot the 60 and trap. i know it was really bad.

Hillsbaseball08 · April 12th, 2008, 02:15 AM

I took it to Texas Raceway (Kennedale). I think I might go to the quarter mile track in Ennis next time.

AndrewA. · April 12th, 2008, 10:33 AM

Thats cool man ive been wanting to go up to ennis..drive is alittle bit further than i thought tho

Hillsbaseball08 · April 17th, 2008, 06:55 PM

Do you think the 60 times are bad because of my stock suspension or lack of experience?

NXstang · April 17th, 2008, 09:54 PM

So you were spraying and ran those times???

If so....no ffense. But that is HORRIBLE.

Put a sticky tireo n there, powershift and go high/mid 7's.

All I have is 4.10's, ET Streets, OffRoad h-pipe, and NX 100 shot. Last night I cut a horrible 1.88 60ft and still went 7.88@89MPH......Next pass SPUN to a 2.0 60ft and went 8.0@90MPH.

My best so far is 7.60@90mph....and you have more mods than I do.

Also, my car with my moms ON MOTOR goes 8.5's/8.6's consistantly.

03 R Code · April 18th, 2008, 09:30 AM

Yeah, with nitrous you should be closer to 8.0x... If your 60' time was in the 1.8 range that would be the biggest help for lowering your ET. The problem with your 60' is probably a combination of both stock suspension and your new at the track. You should get some new upper and lower control arms, that will help out a lot with the 60' times. Then of course some sticky tires.

95blackbeauty · April 18th, 2008, 09:35 AM

Ya...if you were on the spray def bad numbers. You should PM me if you are going to ennis and Ill try and meet up with ya. Im good friends with the track manager.

Hillsbaseball08 · April 18th, 2008, 02:54 PM

Yea I thought the times were a lot higher than they should be. Couldn't go last week because of rain but i'm going to try to go next thursday. I'll post the times after (hopefully they will be lower).

Hillsbaseball08 · April 18th, 2008, 04:22 PM

I have Nitto drag radials so traction wasn't a problem. I wasn't flipping the switch for the nitrous until second gear though. Should I have it on from the beggining or do you think it will cause the tires to break lose? I don't know why I didn't try it from 1st I just assumed I would lose traction.

03 R Code · April 18th, 2008, 07:40 PM

I never could get very much traction with nitrous in first, and I was running MT et drag radials... There's a good chance you will loose traction first. Maybe look into a progressive controller for the nitrous delivery.

Hillsbaseball08 · April 23rd, 2008, 11:42 PM

Big improvements: 6.5 sec @ 110mph! I wish... Haven't gotten a chance to go back yet.

Hillsbaseball08 · May 9th, 2008, 12:11 AM

I just got back from the track and the times are better but should still be lower. It was packed, I only got three runs in. The guys in the tower lost my time slip for my best run but my friend said I got an 8.31 @ 83mph. 3/10 of a second off but I think it could still be better. I'm getting some wheel hop at the beggining and I think it's killing my 60' times. I'll post a video of the run later.

Hillsbaseball08 · May 9th, 2008, 01:42 AM

My bad the mph was 89 not 83

Hillsbaseball08 · May 9th, 2008, 04:26 PM

I guess ill make a new post.
