First time at the track!!!

[SLVR03]

Well here it is..... My first night on at the "track"....
.197 r/t
1.969 60'
5.477 330ft
8.329 1/8
86.49 1/8 mph
10.781 1000ft
12.842 1/4
112.96 mph

Is that a good time for 275 nitto's, intake, and exaust???
I wasn't really worried about reaction time.

With the Nittos should be getting better 60 ft times and it will improve your e.t.

Your mph is there for low 12's. :headbang:

Thats what I thought, but I couldn't launch very high, otherwise my tires would spin. I noticed that when I got the 1.9 60ft that they had just sprayed vht down. But I couldn't beat that time. And trust me when I say that I "heated" up the tires plenty. I was running the nitto's at 27psi (cold)..... Do you guys think that is too high? What should be my 60 ft? Also I am not getting any wheel hop... Should I be worried about breaking axles, etc? Sorry for all of the questions at once

i would have run them around 24 to 20 psi

27 psi is way too high. I always start at 18 psi and go from there (less air). My buddy ran his 04 a week ago at GLD with 18 psi, launched at 5000 rpm (all hook, no spin) and was getting 1.69 through 1.72 60 foot times. As far as heating up the tires make sure you back into the water and once they start smoking they're good to go. No smoke show needed.

Keep practicing and you'll get it. We should all hook up at the track :headbang:
