Got the Eco on the track today
Sunday, May 18, 2008 5:42 PM
So i got my Eco on the track today.

Ran my Michelin Pilots, the track was NOT prepped started out the day with a 2.4 60' and a 15.8@86 mph

my last 3 runs i got down to a 2.25 (Still TERRIBLE but ok for a unpreped track)

15.54@91mph 15.55@90mph and 15.54@92mph

I cannot wait to get back to a properly PREPPED track and run the new 205/45/16 Nitto 555R Drag Radials

Launch is most likely between 2000-2500 but i do not look i listen for the right sound..........shift right on redline.

we will see if it gets any better when i go to a prepped track for a bit dollar bracket race next weekend. i may even run the Michelins again

drag radials are off the rims they came on and i am refinishing them before i use them

Even with a S/C i found the RSA's have one decent area of use. I could pull fairly consistent 2.1 and 2.0 60' with them. What size tire are you running? I do much better on a 205 than I do on a 225 when it comes to the launch and 60'.

the Track was NOT prepped it was bare the day had already been cancelled bu they let a few us us make some runs. i am very happy with the times. they will be lower when i get to a prepped track the 92mph was crazy lol

honestly, stop buying small mods for it because why do that when you can take the cash your going to speed on that and put it towards boost. I'm telling you, boost is the biggest bang for your buck and it gets real results man
