track day!!!
« on: October 14 2014, 09:00:33 PM »
Saturday I'll be back to the track :rock:  forcast is sunny with high of 50. Last year buddys supercharged mustang and mine were, his 13.0 to my 13.2 :( I've got the new turbo and hopefully all the other gremlins worked out...he got a set of slicks. Cant wait to see how they match up this time.

Thanks for the help...wouldnt have made it this year without it  :cheers:

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

So with these tires low 12's? Temps in the upper 40's will help car make power but will hurt traction im guessing.

No line lock. 275/40/17 street tire. Its s street/ show car that I track once a year, I know these tires suck for racing but it is what it is. Next year I want to put some Nitto street/strip tires on.

I'm guessing you won't be able to flat foot it till you're well into 2nd gear. You'll have to reel this guy in.

If you want some good mph, crank the alky to 10 and start pulling back on the fuel.  That is how I got almost 117mph in the 1/4 on a hot day in a 4050lb car with a TE44 and pump and alky.

Down here that is the debt of winter. I've had more than a few Christmas days where it was over 60*f in the afternoon.
Good turbo Buick weather for sure.
