First time at the track

luca335i · 06-08-2009, 12:33 AM

Went to cayuga dragway today. First time at the track and learned so much about the technique of doing this and learned alot about my car as well. I think I did well and impressed some people who all thought I was running an
M3. My best run was 12.392 at 111 mph trap. My best trap was 114 mph but the time was only 12.7. I was happy my car was running well although Ive been having misfires on cylinder 5 from time to time this month. Here is my setup and my slip. I also noticed a little boost oscilation when running map 8 today. Maybe I need an updated chip. Im running beta 1.3 8D rev2 I think. Next time I will run less gas and buy some DR's with smaller wheels.

MODS: UR HFC DOWNPIPES, AFE DCI, AE CATBACK, CODE3 IC, JB3 1.3 BETA MAP 8, 1/2 tank of 94 Octane with 2.5 gallons of ms109, 19 inch iforged te14 wheels on Toyo T1R tires: 275/30/19 on the rear

12.392 at 111mph
Best trap: 114 mph

Wow that is amazing times. I havent been to the track with my car yet. But before I mod it up I am going to run stock to see what differences I get.

Can you people stop referring to the drag strip as a track??
