Hey guys...
went to the track for the 2nd time with the rex last nite, and came home dissapointed once again, I'm not a newbe to drag racing, a bit newbie to the awd launch tecnique...my average time slips looked like this...
Car is bone stock, about 4500 miles on the clock...
temp in the low 70s, at sea level...
RT .451
60 2.078
330 6.266
1/8th 9.722
mph 70.37
1000 12.77
1/4 15.238
mph 89.32
This is the second outing with similar results, I know that the 60 ft times could be a tad better, but what worries me more than anything is the consistancy of my low 89 mph trap speed...I'm staying in 3rd through the traps, should I be shifting a bit early say at 6k out of third, and go into 4th?
I shift at the 6500 shift point except in third, launch between 45-6000 with the clutch slip method, I'll get the 60 ft times down with some more strip time, but what about the top gear thing...3rd or 4th...I'm really discusted here guys, wondering if my car is a reject pig or something, but I still love it. My wifes been asking me all day why I've been so quiet...lol...my only reply is that I'm dissapointed with my car.
Help me out here fellas...I wanted to get the car to about stage 2 and leave it like that, but I hate to put anything on the car if it can even break into the 14s stock.
Thanks
Trey
