Hi guys,

this coming Friday, the 12th, will be the last Test N Tune at Pacific Raceways for this year. I'll be there to test out my newly installed methanol injection kit.
I'm wondering if anyone else from here is attending this event?

[Dirnegrey]

I'll be there.

Nice. Maybe we can shoot some videos for each other.

I will be missing this one...I'm surprised no one set this up early on. Good luck fellas and get into 12's or 11's

Should be able to see some mid to low 12's numbers with my current setup. 11's will be tough with street tires.

eric too hit low 12's last year but the issue was more of traction than power he said.
but who knows if your 60ft comes out good, then it might also be possible.

i hit 1.7 something on 60ft for my record run (admit that was rather luck than skill ). i hope you get to run a lot of times and hopefully break into 11's. i ran like 17 times on my last day of T&T last year. luckly no accident until towards very end so... have fun and record back!

I'll be happy as long as my 60ft is under 2.
Do you still remember how did you launch to achieve 1.7?

Yup, I heard. The CCC is a great event. You will love it.
Hopefully some of you guys will stay for drag.

Me in my e90 and my buddy in his flying Miata will be there. happy to see what I do here, vs in utah.

It was a dissapointed day for me at the drag strip today. I had absolutely no idea how to cut down the 60' time.
Spoke with Jeff Butler, one of the instructors of BMW CCA, and he said we should be seeing at least mid 12's of ET with my trap speed.
These were the best two runs that I did today. #5308
Last run with #523 (First Generation Eclipse) was pretty exciting though. I was still behind him at 1000' and finally caught up with him right before the line.

Mods:
Procede V5 7-29 beta map (map 4 @ 16.5 psi)
FBO
50/50 methanol mix
Roughly 2~2.5 gallons of Shell 92 and 4 gallons of Trick 101

Maybe the boost and methanol mix were a little bit too conservative?
The best run were actually done with the traction control on. (Forgot to shut it off!!) LOL

Yeah, he was probably pissed thinking you were sandbagging him through the whole strip, then pouring it on like gangbusters at the end.
It must of seemed like you blew his doors off at the end with a 5mph advantage?

Was it a TSX or AWD Mitsubishi? If so, perhaps the track is just too slippery. Last time out when I ran the 11.26, track conditions started to deteriorate so much I actually had a run in the 12's. I just gave up after that, wasn't interested in going into the wall.

[hun77777]

ah man. this is bummer... i would expect you to run mid to low 12 at the very least.
well, as i pointed out, i don't think the power was the issue (i ran 12.3 without meth and 1:4 gal of 92/101 on street tires) rahter the traction so DR with good 60ft might've shave another minute or so...

how many run were you able to go?

p.s. btw, my launch was rather simple because mine is auto. just playing around RPM range at launch and toggling between M1 and M2.
think i overall god better time with second gear if i remember correctly but my best 60ft came from first gear start and i launched it around 3k rpm or something...

I did 8 passes total. Missed shift couple runs. No meth flow in one run. Always launch between 2000 to 2500 rpm.

12.3x with no meth is quite amazing. I think Eric's best time was 12.3x as well with meth. I guess AT is a lot easier than MT then.

It was the first generation Mitsubishi Eclipse. Not sure if it's AWD.

[Dirnegrey]

it's hard to launch in the turbo car, especially with the manual. because when the turbo kicks in the first gear, you're automatically lost the traction. if you can shift the first gear before the turbo kicks in. OR there is always a good option for you GET MY DRs! jk.

only 8? bleh... guess there were quite few cars, eh?
when i and eric was there last year for the last day of t&t, we got to run like 17~18 runs and if there were no accdient, we would've probably ran like 20+ runs...

u kinda get the kick of it after 4~5 passes so 8 run is sorta short... when did you get there?
did you adjust traction nany or something like that (procede feature)? it helped my launch tremendously. i adjusted down to like 50% on first and second or soemthing like that... i wish i can help any better but i never actually ran any this year so everything that i say is so so outdated stuff probably... lol

I got there close to 4 and gate opened at 4:30. I did the first 5 passes within the first hour and waited almost an hour for rest of each pass. Didn't stay till the end cuz my friend was tired and hungry.

I was running the 7-29 autotuning beta map and if I remembered correctly, the traction nanny is disabled?

[hun77777]

i'm still on V4. my last update was probably a year and a half ago lol.
i'm sure if you stay til the end, u would've hit mid 12's or something at the least...
oh well, did u have fun at least? anything interesting that day?
