Chelmsford, MA how about yourself?

 

Do you have a thread on your mods? tire setup, weight reduction etc?

 

Congrats! OP! I saw the post earlier in FB, what an accomplishment! Indeed, care to share what your mods are in detail? How are you prepping and launching at the track in its entirety? I went out to PBIR this past Friday to drag race for the first time ever. I was overwhelmed but glad I finally got to break the ice. I'm no where near your time but I want to improve. Think you can manage a lower time and faster trap speed or you think you squeezed out everything N/A?

 

Nice time .

 

Saw RRR share that on FB this morning - Congrats!

 

FBO with rr racing tune and intake, Bc coils on full stiff with swift springs, figs light weight rear rotors, drag radials with MT streets 245/40/18, standard weight reduction stuff (engine covers, spare, floor mats, 1/4 tank of gas). As far as launching goes avoid the wet and do a quick burn out to heat/ clean up the tires and then just mash the gas and kiss the rev limiter in each gear. An 11.5 is possible imho but we need a higher stall in our torque converters and I think a higher rev limiter (7200) would make a big difference. I can't seem to trap any higher than mid 119mph and that 400rpm in each gear would help as well. The car really pulls when you hit those shifts just right and I think those few extra rpms would make a big difference.

 

So you do not have the 7200 rpm option?

 

I do but it doesn't work. The torque converter slips from 6800-7200 making it useless. Hopefully RR Racing comes out with a fix for this at some point.

 

Do you have stock diff?

 

No I upgraded to a torsen. I don't think it makes much of a difference for drag racing though.

 

They do IIRC they can flash the transmission ECU/chip by bench flashing it only (sending your ECU to them), they can't flash them currently via the My Genius tool? Hopefully that changes in the near future?

Worth getting a hold of Rafi and asking him about progress on that front possibly?

 

Monson.

I would really like to check out your car sometime.

 

Nice, major props

 

Congratulations, those are awesome numbers! Have you ever run the car with its current mods but without weight reduction and using regular street tires? Id be curious what times you get achieve going that route being that you obviously have a ton of experience on the track.

 

on street tires my best was 11.92 but I had the weight reduction.
