Headed to the track tonight......

[J.Shoot]

Well, after picking up the Boss from TS a couple of weeks back we were excited about hitting the track to see what the Boss would do. We got a pair of slicks for the car to try and get the best time possible. Well, I went to change my tune on the car to go to the track and the car "locked up". We were able to get it running with some help from TS and SCT but we weren't able to run the car. So, here we are.....
We are going to try to run the car tonight. Hopefully it will run what we are hopin for......

Exciting, and good luck. What times are you shooting for? Trap speeds?

Car should do 10s pretty easy I think.

Sucks you had the ECU lock you out, man. Hate it when that happens.

High 11's.

Unfortunately our local track is only 1/8 mile. Our best run so far is when the weather was cooler and we ran a 7.11 @ 99.7 mph.

We are hoping to run a 6.90 or faster, I'm putting alot of faith in the slicks.

They don't prep the track on Friday nights, so that hurts us as well, but we'll see.

Well the Boss did ok. We ran the following;

60'. 1/8
1.6. 7.17
1.64. 7.25
1.55. 7.11
1.56. 7.13
1.52. 7.10
1.61. 7.19

This was our first time on slicks. Looking for 6.90's and I know the car can do it, just need cooler weather I think.

Low 11 sec car. Cooler air you should get in the 10's. what were you trapping?

nice times, some more practice and it should run 6.90 in this weather.

Best trap was 97, most were 95

The 1.52 60' is real good with a manual car - I'm usually around there and dip into the high 1.4x's on occasion but it's not that easy. What was the DA when you ran? Seems like the trap speed is low but maybe you're pulling a bunch of timing in the high heat? I think you'll be in the 6's easy once you get it figured out. ... and get some better air.

Normal driving, hwy, stop lights I would agree. The air to air works very well at keeping cool during normal driving and stop and go traffic. But Air to air intercooler have to have air moving across it to cool. At the track sitting in line to make a pass, then doing a burn out, then stage and launch equals no air moving into the intercooler until you start moving. in 100* + days you can image how fast this happens


Air to water has water that is always moving and depending on how big your intercooler reserve tank is your IAT's might not gain more than 5-12* since it has to heat all the water.

Next time you go to a race track and see a race car with a turbo,Procharger, 99% of them will always have a air to water system. For one they can pack it with ice and cool IAT below out side temps so they have time to do a burnout and stage before the car starts pulling timing because of heat

Tim nailed it.
