1st time at track with the sho last after 10 yrs of no racing ripped time slip is because ran against  a no time car cant believe how heavy the sho is 4600lbs with driver

Nice times!  How did the SHO feel at the track?  Any prep?  Did the new brakes perform as expected?

 

[brooklynsho]

That is honestly pretty darn good,if you kept it all stock would of probably seen a even better ET. Congrats. Z

You mean with the stock filter you think it would be faster?

The important factor is to really focus on those 60' times,in order to acheive a great ET,you must get those 60'under 1.80, anything especially over 1.90 is not going to be good,congrats . Z

The K&N cai is prone to heat soak,next time you could always swap them out just to verify the difference,you could of probably obtained a 13.5 stock. Z BTW any time slips Z

 

[f8tlSHO]

It's not a cai, it's a drop in

My first time at the track with my SHO last night at Norwalk wasn't was I  expecting... 13.1 @ 106mph. My 60's were 1.9's... I was tired launching at 2K and 2.5K with same results. The atmosphere was not helping, and i am hoping for better times on a cooler night.

What's the trick for better 60's? I am running Cooper RS3-S's. I am new to the AWD/Turbo. Plenty of track time in a Fox body.

There are so many variables to consider to say the least,you really have to find the sweet spot,make sure to fully turn off the T/C,less than a quarter tank of gas,remove the engine cover,shifter on sport mode usually works best,consider playing with tire psi,30 f-28 r, the key factor is focusing on those 60' times,anthing under 1.80 will lead to great ET,anything over a 1.90 is not going to be good,also try going at night, BTW Datalogging would benefit you if not done so already.

My 60s have been over 1.9 so I know I have lost some time there.  Unfortunately, I can't seem to be at the track when the weather is cooperative and DA is low either.  Here is a tip that I have never used but would likely help a ton:

e) Spool turbos before green light... Once stage, ideally start brake/boosting keeping engine running at around 2000rpm for at least 3-5 seconds.

As you play around with tire pressures and brake launch rpm, you may find a combo that works better for your particular setup.  Rich has done a lot of experimentation, so I hope he chimes in here
