Crash712us Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 No same turbo's. Me and steve tied yesterday with 12.31's, but this goes to show weather, climate and location. Are major factors, Milan is not known for being a fast track, and my fast times where lay down at lapeer which known to be a fast track. With a 12.25 for me I am satisfied with my cars performance its right where it should be with my mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I am sure if I ran at Steve's track in Canada 11's maybe 10's would be no problem. LOL Ha! Now that right there's funny stuff...... I bet if we all ran at "Steve's Track" we'd all drop a smooth full second for sure..... Sounds like a road trip to Quebec in the making perhaps :noidea: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoman04 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Yeah' date=' my best time slip of the day was 12.109 @ 114 with a 1.73 60 ft. I went into fail safe after a heavy break torque burnout at the end of my stay or I believe the cooler temp that evening would have helped with the possible 11 sec run. The suspension mods and traction bars were a definite improvement and the new MT 305/45-18 helped as well. Wish I could have stayed longer to play with tire pressure, but I am sure there will be more time this summer. I am sure if I ran at Steve's track in Canada 11's maybe 10's would be no problem. LOL Thanks Dan for the track time and seeing all the guys, it was fun. [/quote'] 1st-SHO ANY UP DATE ON THE TRACTION BAR KIT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash712us Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 What is Failsafe? The transmission has thermo protection, if the ECM detects that trans is to hot. It will limit how much power the engine can make, which is called limp mode. This still allows car to be driven, but car is severely restricted.

steve142857 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 12.31 at 111+ mph... I just went to my track and with colder weather and tailwind I got 12.12 at 113.69 mph... My track is fast indeed, but in order to have good times, you need to be at the track on those days... Like me today. I go race at least 15 -20 times per season... So before you come up here, you guys should go when it's cold with tailwinds. That is the main difference. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve142857 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Btw, firstsho Mike with his car, with a decent traction would have ran around 11.9 at 117+mph if he would have been with me today... DA today was 362 with tailwind and it was closer to 2000 at Milan that day with no wind. Given that every 1000-1500 DA is about one tenth, and that I had a tailwind, I would say that Milan is not a slow track... At Milan, on a cool day of October, with a tailwind and a well prepped track, Mike will have no difficulty to break into the 11's with his current setup. My estimate is 11.75 at 119 mph. Good luck!

bpd1151 Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I think FirstSHO is under the impression that his car will easily run high 10's at that magical track of yours up in Canuck-land. From here out, I'm gonna call B.S, on any of your "fast" times at "your" track unless there's (unedited) video proof there of...... time slips no longer acceptable.

NotEnufPSI Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 It was a fun day. Thank you to Livernois for hosting a great event and thank you to Rick and Dan for the updated tune. It was nice meeting you guys and putting faces to screen names. I did set a new personal best of 12.77@106.95 with only the LMS tune, I'm really happy with how this car is running with minimal work done.
