New time for SD TTA #117

[flyc2a]

went to 1/8 mile track today. heres the results

1.9 60ft 8.1@88.5 mph with only 18lbs boost on a dumped exhaust with 0 KR

mods are: te-44, blue top inj, stock fuel pump and regulator, with a thrasher 92 chip

Ps. spinning through the 60ft with the nitto's.....need a better tire



this probably a 12.5 1/4 right? would be 12.2 with a better tire

MPH should get you 110 in the 1/4.

The nitto is a good tire. Problem always has to do with track prep, and burnout. You should be able and clip a few 1.7's with proper driving.. yeah yeah I know..

I went 1.6 many times on my Notto's, but more often 1.7-1.8 aired down to 18-19 PSI and watching my pedal. Once you blow them.. its all over.

Before you know it you'll be busting 7.50's at the track.

Ditto on the Nitto's. I get low 1.7's with mine. On the night I turned my 7.58, I had a 1.70. Track prep was excellent that night. Track prep is the key with a drag radial.

i had no problem gettin 1.8 60's with stock turbo on the nittos
The 44 turbo just rips them up, keep in mind i have stock converter. I think i am maxing out my stock fuel pump, so i wont do anything else til i get the walbro 340 installed. I will go low 12, high 11's with ease. I love these cars! there was a guy runing 7.8 best with his mustang with $8k in the motor alone, not to mention susp, slicks, tremec tko etc. He was pissed off because i ran more mph. I know that if i had the tire or a better driver(im not that good) ...my car would of went 7.8 or better



ps. cant build more than a 1lb of boost before my car starts to kreep up on my, im using the e-brake....any suggestions? tire pressure was 18lbs and the track was fully prep'd

Seems to me, some TTA's can utilize the e-brake technique, and some can't. I have one of the cars that will not e-brake launch for some reason. I just foot brake and launch with about 5-6 psi of boost. I also have a 3200 stall.
FYI, I lower my tire pressure down to about 15 psi at the track. Sounds like your on the right track!

thanks for the advice, i apreciate it...will keep everyone updated

Get better rear pads. and front pads...

Rears I use raybestos ceramics, and fronts performance frictions Z rated.

I can hold over 12-15 PSI.

I couldnt with the cheap pads tho.
