Sacramento Raceway would maybe be another good option because it is hardly ever crowded and you can get a few runs in. It's only downfall is track prep, which is easily overcome with MT or hoosiers though

Is Sacramento faster than Infineon?

They both have about the same elevation but Infineon usually experiences more head wind (sometimes cross winds) which tend to slow it down a bit. More important though is the fact that at Infineon, you will not be able to make too many runs: maybe 2 to 3 for the whole night. It is usually always crowded. Don't get me wrong, Infineon is a much bigger, much better, and much more maintained and up-kept track than Sacramento ever will be, but it's just always crowded. At Sacramento, you can run as many times as you want. They're only downfall is track prep tends to be horrible for street tires. And I mean really freakin bad....

Track speeds at Sacramento have been a little controversial around here. You can probably read more about it in the W211 section across a few threads. Basically, since the big accident at Sacramento a couple of years ago, they apparently had to re-set their measuring equipment for the trap speeds and it is said that they've set the beams closer together than they "should" be, which as a result, ends up reading 2 to 3 mph higher than they should. This has been verified by different members cars and by VBox data. However, NHRA still runs big events there and they don't seem to have a problem with it, so hey.... we won't mind the extra boost either

Lets start a new thread to see who is up for sacramento run in the next 2 weeks or so before the rains come. it would be nice and cool

Yeah rather than derailing this thread even more...


This thread has turned into C63 general discussion. I forget what the OP's post was about...

Very interesting information. Why did they have to reset the beams because of the accident? Sorry, I don't know about the accident.

Damn if i stall it up to 1600rpm instead of just flooring it from idle mid 11s here i come for sure

thanks dodger

Not sure if it's that simple but I like loading it up!?! Takes some practice to get it down just make sure you nail the gas a split second before letting the brake go

Yeah sweet, on my 11.90 run i wheel spun, definately need to get more heat into the mickeys if im going to stall it up

thanks for the advice

What was you 60'

I have the P-30 package meaning LSD baby!

Sorry, I was part of the derailing process and I sincerely apologize to the OP for what happened. It is always interesting to exchange ideas and points of views with so many people that we sometimes forget the purpose of the thread.

You seem like that is something so great??

60 was 1.8*

I think we all need to keep in mind that as 60 foot times drop along with ETs so does trap speed. Running a 121 trap at 11.8 is not the same as running the same trap at 11.3.

Not a knock on anyone just something else for us all to consider as we prepare for fall MADNESS!

Yea I'm consistent 1.73-1.78

Wait what are you trying to say?

Basically that it's a lot harder to run these ETs and traps than most seem to think. It's not an automatic or given just because someone else was able to do it with different parts. A 11.3 @ 121 is more impressive than an 11.8@121, because when the 11.8 car hooks MPH is going to drop. Whereas if the 11.3 car spins it's going to go up.

Lol I just wanna let OE tunings numbers speak for themselves.

Speaking of numbers, I had my car dyno tuned at Gintani this afternoon. I will have the numbers posted soon. I thought the car was fast before but now...HOOLLYYY S********T!!!!!

From what I've seen in pics the way your car sits that's incredible!

KWs are def on my "list".

Wait so the dyno made your car faster?

j/k

Looking forward to your results!

I think I'm following and if I'm understanding correct, u are right!

I hope some records go down. Remember guys, regardless
of the tune, we are all trying for the same thing, to advance
the 63 platform.

Also, keep in mind the track can be a heartbreaker. Every
car I've ever owned always felt faster on the street but
the track was a different story.

I'm trying to think of what your saying pretty much if I understand your saying since I run drags all the time my mph will be lower then someone that's on street tires! This is true or even if u spin the dr's it goes up my highest trap was almost 125 with an 11.7 it spun for the first 50' cause as (dads) pointed out to me.. I forgot to lower the pressure in the tires.. I was excited.. Haha

Lol
I had it flashed last week with no dyno tune.
the dyno tune made it faster, yes.
