slow times at the track

**Y2K_CAMARO** · 07-19-2008, 12:54 AM

It was horrible. I couldn't get traction for shit. i was 1,288 ft. above sea level and my best time was a 14.07 @ 104. But I was beating almost all the people i went against. Fox body mustangs, new Mustang GT's, a GTO, an Infinity G35, a 2nd Generation Camaro, an old Corvette a couple of civics and some other crappy car. There were some other cars there that could have beat me, but i never got to race them. Every body was doing bad. So since I was running street tires and didn't lower the air pressure, cause i didn't want to break my rear end, i spun all over the place. The car has 13's in it, I just have to get traction. But I still had fun. Any tips on breaking 13's?

tires and a good launch.

drag racing is all about the dig man. if you can knock off 2 tenths on the 60'....then thats like a .5 second improvement down track.

Sorry but you will need to add alot of power to break the rear. First off even if you add a pair of drag radials your car is probably stiff as a truck in the rear still so it's still going to spin. Second unless your spraying 175+ you are NO where near the "snapping" level.

So go lower the pressure to 22-24 and DRIVE AROUND THE WATER BOX!!
DON'T DO A SMOKEY BURNOUT!! STREET TIRES ENEMY IS HEAT.

hum, I've just heard so many stories, and seen first hand someone break there rear end with a stock motor, but maybe he had some other problems to begin with. I'll give it a try and see how it works. But, either way, when I get back from my deployment, I'm getting, probably, a Moser 12 bolt

Save your money and buy a 9". Much stronger and cheaper. Here is a thread I have posted DETAILED pics that no one can deny. (Page 4)

Like I said I have MANY cars out here with 10 bolts and nitrous kits with drag radials without breaking. Come up here to Speed World and look under most of the F-body's and you'll see 10 bolts. Very easy to spot from a quick glance. The 10 bolt has a cover bolt directly in the middle the 12 bolt has 2 on the bottom and neither are in the center.

Good luck on your tour.

With a 104-mph trap i'd say you don't need any performance upgrades to accomplish your goal. The only mod you need is the driver mod to break the 13-second barrier.
