Thread: how to knock a 1/2 second off my et

Tweet

You've got to look at what the car is doing right now to be able to know what your next steps should be. Questions you need to answer are:

1) Is the car spinning excessively off the line, or is it bogging.

2) What are your 60 foot times.

3) What are your reaction times. It is real easy to leave a few tenths on the starting line. (I used to race against a guy who had consistantly winning cars. Every darned car he owned kept trophying. Then we realized it wasn't the cars so much, it was him......he was just a really good driver , he made them fast )

4) What is the car turning in the lights

5) How does the car launch. are you wasting HP with suspension not "working."

6) Put lots of air in front tires and less in rear.

Have someone else drive the car while you watch it. See how it looks launching and going down the strip. Rather than going for 1/2 sec in one shot, go for 1/10's in little steps.

Finally, how are your starting line rpms? Is the torque convertor holding you back?



And it could be that adding HP is what the car needs, as it may have simply reached its full potential with the current setup.

When all else fails, put the laughing gas to it.
