Horrible traction. Best time was first run (got there 830pm), track was moist, humid and therefore wet. No traction at all after 9pm.
12.5 w a 2.1 60' was the first run @111.
This one is 12.8 at 113.
Tires are 5day old 285/35/18 NT05's. Going to break them in some more and head there next week to get into the 11's with better track conditions.

Exhaust setup is exhaust cutouts (open) with removed resonators. I'm not a huge fan of the sound however. Time to do something about that.

Your MPH are REALLY low however. I mean, weird low. Even when I would have horrendous traction ( 2.3-2.4 60ft times ) I would still trap 118mph. Even when I was stock with 2.6 60ft times I trapped 111mph ( went to 113-114mph when I hooked a 1.9-2.0 ).

Have you dyno'd your car lately?

Jakpro1

I have to confess, usually I listen to the cutout vids and just wince in pain at the "General Lee" good ole boy sound.

That actually sounded pretty decent!

THAT is a scary prepped track! Glad you are okay.

Benz-O-Rama

Agreed.

Track prep, and lack of traction will not cause those low traps. I/C pump most likely. Unless of course, you just had super high D/A

E55Dimon

So I'm not alone on this. My plan was to hit the track when new tires came and dyno it within a week or so. Tires have 500 miles and grip very well on the street. I too feel that the car should be making more.
Have the new Bosch IC pump in there too.
I think tbal went through the same, need to get his file in.

Something is fishy with the trap speed. I dont know what you dyno'd at, but with those mods I wouldnt be happy with anything below 117

E55Dimon

Have about 5 slips with traps being 113. Wont go higher.
I know my tune was somewhat "conservative" and the car ran rich on the dyno back when I had a dead IC pump.

Benz-O-Rama

You need to data log those IATs, STAT! That will tell you more than any dyno will.

GT-ER

Not exactly, but it's a "must do" regardless.

E55Dimon

STAT?

AWOL

stat = pronto, now, right away, get on it asap

Hammer Down

What are your mods again?

E55Dimon

Renntech 168mm pulley, Eurocharged tune, Exhaust cutouts, K&N's..


edit: jeeeezus and u went 11.7 stock ((

Bro welcome to new england dragway lol horrible traction and low trap speeds,dont feel bad as my 530whp car only traps 122 there.

Check your intake temps to see if your pump is working as you should be trapping 116-117 there with your setup.

It was also hot and muggy last night.

I gave up on street nights there becasue they dont prep the track.You need to come there on a test and tune with me to run a good time.

only on test and tunes and huge events is when they prep the track.

E55Dimon

Well this makes me feel better. Need that cool gadget of yours for your phone to check the IAT's.
Yes, it wasnt great weather last night. I'd love to go on the weekend for proper track prep but cant. Next wednesday it is.
Shot you a text.

skratch77

any obd2 scan tool should read intake air temps,its a must have man.

ohh ps do you want a custom intake Im making?

E55Dimon

I'm eyeing that thread..tough call to make now.

E55Dimon

edit: Dyno numbers to come. Will be scheduling it today.

chiromikey

unless you're tuned for cut outs you're losing more tq and midrange hp than you're gaining on top (if you're gaining anything at all). i lost a tenth at the track just by replacing race cats with straight pipes and not tuning for it.

tbal

Hey bro, did you do any runs with the cutouts closed? With cutouts open I was trapping 114, with cutouts closed i was trapping 118.x!

Car sounds sick though but time for some drag radials homie

E55Dimon

These are the next best thing to drag radials:


None with closed, but I ran the faster times with my very heavy jl sub box and other stuff in car. Will wait to see dyno numbers and see how she does next Wednesday. Gonna warm up the tires this time too. Not like they'll last long until I have to buy winter tires
Still have all my cats in, but looking for 63 mufflers just like you got Tony.

tbal

Tellin ya Dima try with cutouts closed next time! I think chiromikey had a pair of cls55 mufflers!

E55Dimon

Hmm, maybe I'll get under there and close em a tad w a screwdriver, considering they are rusted shut after the winter (doesnt bug me since theyre always open).

Jakpro1

You are gonna love um. Not quite 888's but then again you live another day if you hit a really wet off ramp.

Thumbs up for mine!!!

AKnight55

Ill buy your python tubes if your going custom intake Ange
