going to the track this weekend

[o2camaross]

So im bringing the truck and my roommate is bring his z28 to centerville this weekend. This is the first time running it since i put the traction bars on it and im gonna run it a couple passes with street tires then swap over to my hossiers. The only drawback is that its only a 1000ft track but i can at least see if my 1/8 mile improves. I just got a little more peppier tune from Allen so hopefully that will help. My fastest 1/8 mi is 9.01 at 76 with like a 2.06 60' on my current street tires. What do you guys think i should do this time?

Well if ur spinning ur street tires and depending on ur hoosier height u could get it into maybe high 1.8 low 1.9 60' times.. And if u dont mind me asking y are u gonna try street tires? IDK bout ur 1/8th times though..

Idk I was just thinking maybe seeing what the street tires can do but I guess I already did that lol. Ok well I'll just start with the slicks. They're 28". What psi should I start at?

[RedHeartbeat]

15 psi, much lower and the truck will sway side to side going down the track since you'll most likely have radials on front and bias plies on the rear.

K cool also just found out they will be having a street radial truck shootout that night so I guess I'll be sin the street tires too after all

well it was a fun night at the track but didnt beat my old time bc the air wasnt that great, DA was like 2200. Any way the truck didnt spin at all, started at 18 psi and went up to 24 psi and dead hooked everytime. 60' was 2.1, 1/8 was 9.1 and 1000' was 11.77@ 88mph so i definetly need a stall and cam to help out on both ends. next mod is stall and mild tranny build for reassurance. Oh also i think i shouldve ran about a 11.5 but my 1-2 was a little late...i was hitting the limiter pretty much during the shift so that was hurting my top end a little. Does anybody know a ballpark figure for 1/4 mile time with an 11.5 1000'?

[Beatdown Z]

For my truck, 11.49 1000' equals 13.78 1/4mi.

most calculate from the 1/8 mile. 9.1 x 1.56 = 1/4 mile estimate
