I tried to make the slips a bit more legiable, I make em big, they post small?:
honestly, i dont think that you could be consistantly doing something so wrong that your runnin those times. Unless your spinning the whole track, which i doubt. IMO its your car.
The first time i ever ran was a 15.6 and the car was running mildly ok, some time later, when the car was runnin like crap, i was more experienced, and i ran a 15.7 as my worst time ever.
Ill give you all my tips i use. From start to finish. #1 take out any and all junk in your car (spare included)#2 when you get to the track, let it sit for a long time (1-1/2, 2 hrs) so shes nice and cold. #3 If you have someone that can watch your stuff bring a cooler full of ice bags, a thin towel, a jack, and a small board. Put a bag of ice in the towel, and put it on the intake manifold. take the board put it on the jack, put another bag of ice on the board, and jack it up nice and tight on the transmission pan. It does help to slightly cool the trans fluid. and, if you want, take more towels freeze them the night b4, and put them in the cooler. When they got you staging again, right before you close the hood, take the towels and wrap the intake tube, cuz that thing gets amazingly hot, this helps to 1, cool it down and 2, keep it cool. #4 Traction control OFF, O/D OFF, put shifter in 1. #5, go arround the water in the burnout box. #6 do a very
small burnout, cuz you will get SOME water on your tires no matter what. #7 Stage very shallow (when you get the second staging lights, you can move forward a little bit more, but you dont want to.) #8 when both are staged, Hold brake, (not too hard, but hard enough you dont inch forward) and rev to 2500rpm. #9 As
SOON as the last yellow comes on, let go of the brake, and continue to roll into the throttle (immediately get to 1/2 throttle, and by 60 ft you should be 100%) #10 Keeping it floored, shift when your RPMs get to 5800 so that it shifts at 6000. #11. Keep it in second all the way through the traps, even if you hit the rev limiter, it will be at the moment you pass through the traps. #12 DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT use brakes at ANY point (unless your losing control and you need to scratch the run, but a 14/5 second car should not have any problems with that) oh, and obviously, use brakes when youve finished the run
. #13, when your through the traps, pull the parachute and cut the fuel
Gl next time. if your car is runnin good, you should grab a mid to high 14 with the mods you have.
