Track day (drag)

italiabari10 · 06-25-2015, 05:25 AM

So last night I went to Milan dragway. Finally got my suspension, fuel pump, and I guess a long overdue alignment done.

Last year I ran a 12.5 @ 110 with a 1.8 60ft- map 5 30/70 e85

Last night I ran a 12.3 @ 113 with a 1.9 60ft- map 7 50/50 e85

I'm running 265/35 nittos (35psi). Launching at 2,000 RPM. I have the BMS down shift blocker but in my logs its showing I'm still getting kicked down to 1st gear.

Any suggestions with launch? Tire pressure? Custom map 6? Need to drop my 60ft to break into the 11s.. A 1.6 would be nice!

Oh launched at 2,500 and spun bad.

Traction control was turned off completely on all passes.

First off, Milan isn't a "fast" track, so your ETs look pretty good, but MPH is a bit weak, which is weird considering you said you were spinning...
In any case, air down the rear tires to sub 20# and launch softer.

Well I spun when I tried to launch harder at 2,500 RPM. Any reason why I'm still getting knocked down to first gear on my launch? I have the blocker that should stop this from happening. Maybe I'm launching too hard. Anyone have a map 6 drag map?
