New Track Times For the Xtreme Cavy
Saturday, May 10, 2008 8:02 PM
We had a private rental at a local drag strip and i got quite a few runs in, well 16 to be exact lol. started out with a few 14.0-14.2 runs and was not very happy with it. pretty disappointed actually. so i parked the car for a little while to let it cool down. then i decided to warm the tires quite a bit to clean them off for sure. got it all taken care of and ran a few 13.9's but finally i let it set and cool again and got a pep talk from my friend and pulled a 13.743 @102.09 with a 2.1 60ft. i didnt mess with tire pressure or anything, i know the car has a little more in it, but right now i have a small boost leak and i think thats due to my small exhaust leak.

thanks guys, car felt real strong. and as for being local to me, its like 45 minutes away but a real nice country cruise out to the middle of nowhere and the track just spent 200,000 on renovating the track so its top notch. i love going there.

Good runs Vince. Glad to see it ran strong for you. Get a wb02 in there and we can start fine tuning it a lil better.

Exhaust leak? only pre turbo will cause a boost leak.

Great times though, Im sure they are only gona improve Get that 60' down.

im lost, why would you run the stock 16's on the rear but not the front to? it should have been the other way around man.

2.1 60 on 17's is pretty decent though, good job!

13.7, very nice!! so you rented a track for a day by urself? wow, somebody's loaded



Riddle me this... riddle me that...

ill start with the exhaust leak. its right at the head to manifold so myself and others thought that the leak there could be affecting the output of the turbo because of it leaking there right away and not flowing correctly, ill hit 9 psi and then drop down to 7-8 all the time.

next, tires. i could have left 16's on all the way around but my 16's are shot, they have the stock eagle rsa's which are bald and garbage. so i went with the 17 because it is wider, and a heck of a lot softer tire and bit a ton better.

as for the private rental it was a local car club from chicago that rented it and i went with them and raced. it was like 1500 for the track from 9-1 all to ourself.

joe, check out my home page haha. actually here is the link lol... i use it for hosting because i got so tired of waiting on photobucket, the only thing i liked about photobucket was it auto resized. thats about it. always slow for me and stalled a lot.

yes there is duct tape on the front bumper, both sides, once you go above the speed limit, air likes to get in there and push it out since the kit fits like @!#$. car goes back to the body shop the 19th to get both side skirts repainted and im gonna have them look at the bumper too.

id really like to get some good tires and get a 1.9 to 2.0 60' and hit around a 13.5.

thanks for all the comments!

I vote we slap a disco potato on that bitch and see what happens



Re: New Track Times For the Xtreme Cavy

Thank god the duct tape wasnt for aerodynamic reasons! That would make me LOL till I pooped.

Glad to see it made it to the track. Great times. Now fix that boost pressure drop issue and turn up the boost...

Congrats.

actually psi will not be going above 9. not until i dig into the motor some. which wont be for a while. 9 it is and 9 its staying. friend of mine is giving me a like new HKS turbo timer for free so thats gonna help a bit so i dont have to sit there so long. i say like new because its only got a few hours of run time on it

but everything is good except my boost leak and exhaust leak. i hope to go a few more times once i get my wideband hooked up again and it tuned a little better

Re: New Track Times For the Xtreme Cavy

Good times vince. I want a ride when I see you at the dells.

About those tires.The 17's have the BFG G-forces mounted on them right? If so I was running the same tires on my 01 turbo z24 only in 18's. Heating those tires up makes night and day difference! I lowered the presure in my front tires from 35psi to 25psi and that made a huge difference. What kind of pressure are you running.

Awesome Times !!! and a 2.0 60' !!

What RPM did you leave the line at ? If I go over 3000 it will just blow the tires off.

I hope thats where I'll be at this year, 10 psi here we go !!
