Just went to the local 1/8th mile last night and was rather happy with the results.

With only a CAI, header, cat back, and MTH... I ran a 9.521 @ 75.3 mph. It was rather muggy and had rained earlier, so I believe it could of been a little faster.

 

Congrats!

BTW, WOO HOO! Drag Racing forum!

 

I know! I got tired of having to search around every where for any type of drag racing information... so I asked and I recieved.

 

So is your sig out dated, or did you leave mods out of your post? What wheels/tires were on for that run?


I did 10.2 @71 with a 15%, CAI and MTH on 17" runflats.

 

My first post was just with the mods listed in the post. However my best run so far with my 19% was a 9.3 @77mph.

I am going to the track today to see what the injectors and GIAC do. Also am going to try freezing the inercooler by spraying a CO2 tank on it.

 

Tires/wheels??

 

Kosei K1 racing 16x7.5 with falken azenis 215/45/16. Downloading your video now. I ran a 9.4 @77mph with my s lites and bf goodrich sport tires.

Tire pressure was set at 25 psi.

 

SO you DID have more mods than you said That's what I thought - cause going under 10 without good tires has to be impossible!

 

What 60ft times are you guys running?

 

I just took my 2005 MCS to the local 1/4 mile track for the first time, my best run was 15.428 sec. 90.15 MPH, I have no MODs just the sports package, had the DSC turned off. Was just seeing what it would do before I added any MODs.

 

I was getting 2.5's, couldn't get lower, but it might improve .1 with more practice.

 

I am a consistent 2.34-2.36. I run 14.8's in the quarter, with 9.6's in the 8th. All of this is on my car with just under 1000 miles on it in the warm AZ nights. It has a pulley and exhaust with stock 17" runflats. My car has about 20 passes on it. I launch from 2700rpm.

 

WOW I wish I could see a vid of your launches - your track must be like glue to get the runflats to give you a 9.6!

 

Wooo hoo!!! Finally broke into the 8's tonight. I turned a 8.995 @ 81mph. I was running 83mph but started getting low on nitrous. Now I just need some drag slicks.

 

Have any other MINIs out there turned an 8 second time in the 1/8th?

It was very difficult to do with my azenis. 60 ft time was was 2.25. If I toss drag slicks into the mix with a full tank of nitrous, I should see 1.9-1.8 60 ft times along 8.5-8.2 et's. Anyone have a set of cheap and light 15's?

 

Last night was deffinately a suprising night for everyone... Including a guy in a 300zx twin turbo. With nitrous last night I turned a 8.6 at 85mph.

I found that my nirtous times were suffering compared to my non nitrous times. This was do to the fact that I wasn't able to flat shift with nitrous because I was using a WOT switch. Last night I used a push button. While this takes a bit of cordination to do it does allow you to flat shift.

Now to find a twin charged mini to eat up.

 

Put some 15" drag radials on and run the 1/4 now!!! Your 400+ whp has to be damn close to making a 11 sec. pass.

 

Look for my results Saturday night for the 1/4. Just got back from a local 1/8th track tonight. I was able to pull off a 1.73 60ft and a 7.8@90mph.

 

Congrats Spillman on the time, we went a 7.761 @ 90.19 with a 1.726 60ft our best 1/4 this weekend was a 12.165 @ 111.68

 

Maybe a silly question, but is the 1/8 mile time listed on a 1/4 mile slip equal what I would get on an 1/8 mile track? I figured it did, but I have only been to the 14 mile track.

 

Yes it would

 

Wow Spillman awesome times, hit me on the PM the next weekend you go to shadeside cuz I have to see you wearing out the stangs!

 

In that case I was good for a 9.2 with a very lasy launch.

 

this is on totally bald street tires, they were junk to start with...
