Hey are you getting your speeds from your RSM+G-Sensor? or actual 1/4 mile runs at a track? I was using my RSM+G-Sensor on the run I managed a 15.5 on, and the RSM indicated a 15.3. I'll check the value when I leave work, but I'm pretty sure that's what it was. The difference was actually about 0.2 on the runs I used the RSM on. So the RSM 0-400m times are close, but a little generous.Quote:

I really want to take my car to a strip.
i think the problem for me will be slipping tyres.
Im going to get some semi slicks for the stock alloys and bolt them up when drag racing.
Do u think that would be a good idea?
Not sure if it's tyre spinning all the way to 3rd or slipping clutch. but more like slipping clutch as I can smell something burning in the cabin & in the engine bay...LOL
The track is so slippery, I don't think it would help putting some semi slicks.
best to put Drag radial tyres.
To be honest, you probably get a better time doing 1/4 on a piece of regular road than on the drag strip.
do you think a LSD would make alot of difference on a slippery tack?
If you are running a straight line, LSD won't make a difference, but if you are on a track.. BY GOLLY it's BENEFICIAL!Quote:

Only other reason I can think of that is making the difference is that my G Sensor haven't been mounted flat enough LOL (Re-Calibrating doesn't really help much) I used a level to try and place the G Sensor as flat as possible...Quote:

Not with the Euro's Traction Control on the Strip... It takes too long to recover LOL! est counter against wheel hop is the find the "Just Right" RPM to launch the car and slie the clutch without too much wheel spin....Quote:

I wasn't there but I am very sure it was off considering the references to slipping, not much traction, and wheel spin.Quote:
