what to do next ? 12.8@114mph

type rrr · 05-05-2012, 10:35 PM

hi guys, i would like some suggestion for the next easiest mod for more power

here s my set up for the drag strip:

-94 oct pump gas (a quarter full tank)
-bigger fmic
-catless dp
-catless mid pipe
-stock air box ( no air filter ... just for the pull )
-cobb v301 stage 2 agressive map ( 15 psi )
-hossier drag radial 275 40 17
-oil temp --- 80-90
i don t want to use meth... i have access to 98oct race gas and 114oct (unleaded)

thanks

your traps are good, your time is a little slow. i ran 12.9@108 with a 2.0 60' with intake and tune.

please post time slips. how is your 60' you should be low 12's. id go with DCI or weight reduction. Unless you want upgraded turbos.

bigdnno98 · 05-05-2012, 10:49 PM

Race gas won't really help you with a flash tune unless you have the race map. I would definately get an intake. You could try to ask Cobb for the Beta race map, but I'm sure hundreds others have already tried this with no luck.

skinrock · 05-05-2012, 11:34 PM

Stage 2 or Stage 2+FMIC?

rader1 · 05-05-2012, 11:48 PM

Wait for race gas maps to be released or get an ATP race gas map tuned for your car.

Syndicategt · 05-06-2012, 12:16 AM

More practice.....

oh and...

LSD / Suspension / M3 bits

CUTigers · 05-06-2012, 06:22 AM

You are trapping better than that time . Slow 60' maybe. Tires?

type rrr · 05-06-2012, 06:57 AM

yes stage 2 plus fmic..its an auto ,i launch it at 1500rpm,,,,i know maybe i can go harder on the launching

-60ft ---- 2.24
-330ft---- 5.704
-660ft---- 8.46
-Et ---- 12.812

yeah m3 lsd would be a good thing to do in the future for sure

CUTigers · 05-06-2012, 07:18 AM

I get 2.1s with my car. No bolt on's. Just a mild tune. You rape my trap speed. Iv only hit 106.8mph. If you got the 60' down a notch or two. Would see a big increase.

ppatel223 · 05-06-2012, 07:37 AM

You can lose some weight, YOU! not the car, your car will be happy. Recently I saw a HUGE lady (280-300lbs) getting in 3 series. I stopped for good 2 minutes to watch her get in. She had to squeeze her belly away from steering wheel to fit in

Irishace · 05-06-2012, 07:48 AM

Run your drag radials at 20psi of pressure and launch that car harder. 2.4 60 is unforgivable with drag radials on.

idrift4wd · 05-06-2012, 08:13 AM

2.24.... is your problem.

how is your launching technique?

2.24 can be pulled off with ease with stock continentals. with Drags you should be cutting AT LEAST 1.9 or 1.8 no lSD. are you launching first or 2nd gear?

Longboarder · 05-06-2012, 08:21 AM

No question - LSD.

CUTigers · 05-06-2012, 08:36 AM

Didnt see he had 275 drags.. My hankook 255s shouldnt have a better 60'

Randomaccess335 · 05-06-2012, 08:54 AM

get your 60' ft down to 2.0 from your 2.2...... 2 tenths off sixty foot = 4 tenths at the 1/4 time assuming everything else is the same.
My jb4 max boost 13.4 psi(it needed fixing) 19" street tires, a/t I ran a 12.3 @ 114..... I bet u get your 60' ft time down you can do the same

I launch in first gear ( all etc off ),,,hold the brake ...gas at 1500rpm ....pedal to the metal !!!...i saw people doing brakeboost at 3500rpm ????..this must be so bad for the AT.im just not wiling to do it

lmfao should of took a vid

skinrock · 05-06-2012, 12:58 PM

I'm confused that it's only hitting 15 psi. I've seen my Cobb report 17 psi on Stage 2+ Sport.

I learned that more power is not always the answer. Without a good 60ft of 1.9-1.7 you have no chance for great results. The keys to a good 60ft are skill, burnout before race and proper tire pressure (needless to say I kind of lack at all of these

).
