  • First time to strip in GXP....

    I went to Lapeer dragway for the first time today. Numbers werent that bad, but I got to work on my launch and I gotta stop spinnin and getting no traction off the line. My 60 ft wasnt bad either, but with traction, my 60's will be under 2 secs.I almost had a perfect reaction while launching at about 2000 rpms. I ran 13 passes and red liighted 3 times trying to get the perfect launch. I won almost every race against T-Birds, Contours, and I even kept up with a Monte SS (5.3). Here are my slips, first run, best reaction time and best time overall which of course was my best 60'. I am car 221 and perfect reaction time is .500.


    First run....


    Best reaction time...


    Best time...


    I thoght my times would be better. Like the old saying goes, "Practice makes perfect."

        or get drag radials =D?


        anyway those times arnt bad at all, 14.7 is a decent place to start.

        you know that reaction time has nothing to do with your et though, right? what you really want to worry about is your 60'...

                    I think I did let up or my et might been a little quicker. I was thinking that same thing tonight, why is my highest trap speed my worst time.

                      usually a couple miles per hour either way is normal for different runs... but thats such a huge jump...

                          Ill be going again in the near future. I am going to try some things different like manual shifting maybe. I was afraid I would forget to shift in manual mode and gernade the engine. I could not believe how loud my car was going down the strip, it sounded more like a v8 with headers than a riced out pos.

                            if you have the tune and its working there is no need to shift manually...you would have to practice forever to hit the shifts points perfectly like the tune should be able to do every time. you'll want to work on your launch though, your 60ft could easily be sub 2.2 with practice... did you drop your front tire pressure at all? what rpms were you launching at?

                              I did not lower the psi, that will be one of the things I do next time. I was launching between 2000 and 2500 rpms. Maybe I should launch below 2000 to erase some of the traction issues.
