edgewated this weekend?

[BIZLE]

just checked their site
they will be running test and tune
saturday and sunday this weekend both days!
im going down sunday

[PaulFiveOh]

I'll be there to goof around on the N/A setup one last time before it's gone forever.

I'll be bringing a bunch of friends with me who run imports...bleh haha.

[BIZLE]

ill be in a import also

[PaulFiveOh]

ah got ya, what will you be running?

[BIZLE]

black 99 civic
bronze wheels
ls-t
street tires
first time out just looking for a mph untill i get some slicks
and from the look of your avatar you will be in one of mine and bangingears old cars!

[PaulFiveOh]

Oh no shit dude, I had my hands in to a LS-T non vtec build. Made in excess of 400hp!

Tell me about your build

[BIZLE]

stock motor 14.5 psi made 296hp 264tq on cincys dyno
hoping for 114-117 traps
who knows?????

[PaulFiveOh]

I like how all your worried about is trap speed lol.
Unfortunently with out DR's, thats all fwd can strive to achieve there haha.

The build I worked on used a GT42R turbo in to a completely forged ls bottom with a worked non vtec head. It was pretty sweet.

[BIZLE]

well im still thinking it will go low 13s or high 12s on street tires

[Mista Bone]

that is if you get traction by 1/2 track and top of 3rd gear

[BIZLE]

that is if you get traction by 1/2 track and top of 3rd gear

thats probley right where it will start to hook!
what kind of mph would you guess mista bone?

[PaulFiveOh]

If by some strange change that 10 holes with 15" slicks on them will fit on you honduh, your welcome to use them for a few passes.

[BIZLE]

if that would work i have a set in the garage

[PaulFiveOh]

lol ight

[Metcalf Racing]

Oh well I won't be going there..LOL

[craigels]

I just to verify at 9:00 and the ARE open today!

Craig

[PaulFiveOh]

I'll be down there making a few passes on the N/A setup....

Lets see if I can blow some shit up...oh haha.

If someone wants to bring a cooler, I can get Ice and throw a few brews in there?

[hchays]

I am on my way. Just don't laugh at the ole' Lightning to hard, this is my "before" numbers that I am getting. I have not done anything to it other than add an electric fan and exhaust. Don't forget it weighs 4500 lbs. and WAS owned by a hillbilly. See ya there.......

[PaulFiveOh]

I just got back at 2:30. Left because of the rain, but there still running till 4.

Met everybody and it was great! Only got 2 solid passes, the rest I either shook the tires real bad or missed 3rd haha. Best time was a 13.200 at 104 with a 1.994 '60........on Slicks no less.

Thanks everybody who gave me launching advice....I guess I just need to get rid of the sportlines!

[JamesjGT]

The Wife and I were there, but being new to the forums, we didn't know anybody.

[PaulFiveOh]

If the stang in your avatar pic was there, I saw it.

Just look for our sweat shirts, we were crawling through the place.

[JamesjGT]

That is the one we drove. Black notch, with the white trunk that needs to be painted. LOL.

[white01]

I was there, only 1 run before the rain hit.:( I wanted to try some stuff but when mother nature hits, theres not much that can be done.

Rich

[PaulFiveOh]

Did they up end closing early or what?

[white01]

Don't know I left when the rain started to get heavy.

Rich

[BIZLE]

And I blew a tire in my buddy's GN:eek: Scary stuff! Spun the tires out of the box, then boom! I stopped the car and was wondering, "WTF was that noise....oh shit, the tire blew:(" I guess it was better that it happened there and not at the end of the track going 120mph:dunno:

BTW, nice talking to ya:)

[PaulFiveOh]

BTW, nice talking to ya:)

Another guy had a car like yours and I went up to him and was like hey are you WhiteT off the boards and he was like "nope!".....and I walked away feeling real stupid...lol

They only race 1/4 mile there....you'd be crossing the line and letting out way before you reached 120mph, LMAO!!!!

You just need to learn how to do a burn out and get your rearend rebuilt so you have posi.

[PaulFiveOh]

A few people told me I was only spinning one wheel!
Looks like I burnt some clutches up on it....

I didn't think I had any issues getting em hot...but what did you see wrong?

Hey now, that would have been a 10 second run! lol

[YouGotJunk]

Hey now, that would have been a 10 second run! lol

LOL yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sucks about the tire though.

[superslors]

what a beautiful day it turned out to be today once the sun came out. my car ran a 15.014 was the best run at 95mph....not to shabby for a stockish cobra I was pleased.....could have probably got into high 14 with better traction.

[hchays]

I left after it rained for a while. I got two passes in and found my "before" times. Not as good as I would have liked to start with but o'well. I guess I will start working on it now. By the way is anyone good with vacuum lines? I just don't have the pactience to f@#k with them. The hillbilly that I bought the truck from really did a number on it.

[PaulFiveOh]

what kinda tires you runnin what gear etc..

26 Inch Tall Hoosier Quick Time pros on 3.27's (The gears are for my C4 that is going in)

[Steves LX]

I had a good time today running on slicks for the first time. But my ET's are worse this year on slicks than they were last year on DR's. The only thing that improved were my 60's. I ran a 12.94 and a 12.96 @ 103MPH with 1.66 and 1.70 60's. Last year on DR's I ran 12.80's at 106MPH and 1.85 60's. I just dont get it. I was expecting to pick up a lot more than I did, not go backwards. I did however pick the front end up 3 times today. That was fun for 1st timers.

[Maximus]

You guys make sure you post up your times on the Dirty Dozen list.:bigthumb

Congrats to all those that were ready to race alreday!!:)

[Metcalf Racing]

LOL..I thought I was ready..LOL I was wrong.... Tracy and I will be up to see you shortly Craig

Did you change anything else with the car..the tune/timing? Being down 3mph is about a 30hp loss. If you had run 106 today..you probably would have been in the 12.6's.

[MFIELD]

Today was pretty fun for this early in the season. Except for the rain, but we waited it out and got a few more runs in. Getting closer to the 10's. Maybe work on that front suspension some and get some weight transfer. Craig I need to call you for some new tires.

[Steves LX]

Did you change anything else with the car..the tune/timing? Being down 3mph is about a 30hp loss. If you had run 106 today..you probably would have been in the 12.6's.

The only changes I have made are I went to a 70MM TB from a 75MM last year and I dumped the exhaust and added an X pipe and slicks. I do know on the big end with the slicks I have a crap load of vibration like you would get running on 2 flat tires. I have never ran good at Edgewater even on UMTR nights. Lst year my best time at Edgewater on DR's was a 13.20. But I could go to Tristate or kil kare and run 12.80's and 12.90's.

Did you run the same size slick as the DR's were? It could be that they changed your gear ratio by being a larger radius or created more drag by being wider.....

[Steves LX]

I'm running a 26 X 8.50 MT ET Drag on a Welds. Last year I ran Nitto's 245/45/17 @ 14 PSI on a 99 GT 5 spoke wheel. I know the car was awful squirelly on the big end toady but I had a hell of a lot of vibration on the big end too. Like the whole car was shaking. I know it was going to wobble back and forth but the car shaking itself I wasn't expecting. It felt like running 100 MPH on flat tires on the street or like it feels when your street tires are out of balance.

[firestang70]

Those are both 26" tires. Maybe up the pressure in the slicks a little at a time till the car responds they way you want.

[black90lx]

A few people told me I was only spinning one wheel!

I didn't think I had any issues getting em hot...but what did you see wrong?

How much air was you running in them? If you are only heating up one tire that tire is going to hook and the other one is going to spin. You might need to run a few more pounds in the driver tire and it will make it spin easier so they will both heat up. Or you might do a burn out for a few seconds then pull up and do another one and see if they both spin.

[92BlackStang]

the right tire should have less air then the left tire, left tire spins more. what gear you doin burnout in??

[black90lx]

He would have to do a burn out in 1st gear with a 3:27 unless he has a really strong clutch. I could smell my clutch doing a burn out with a 4:10 and a spec stage 2 clutch. But it pulled a better 60FT that way. It will just take some practice to learn how to do it.

[08 Vette]

It's always good seeing all you guys.

[PKFIRE]

Tim,

I thought you were on your way down there:lol:. I got there little before 3 and left at four. There was about 15 to 20 cars running so even though I had an hour to run I could of got in at least 10 runs.


Anywho I ran my DD and it ran better than I expect but nothing to brag about.

[Jeff88coupe]

the right tire should have less air then the left tire, left tire spins more. what gear you doin burnout in??


Um no!...you should run equal tire pressures in both rear tires. Unequal rear tire pressures can push the car left/right going down the track.

[Jeff88coupe]

The only changes I have made are I went to a 70MM TB from a 75MM last year and I dumped the exhaust and added an X pipe and slicks.

Get your slicks balanced...most tire shops have the stick-on weights so you don't have to use the big ugly hammer on kind.

[black90lx]

Um no!...you should run equal tire pressures in both rear tires. Unequal rear tire pressures can push the car left/right going down the track.

We are not talking about a 5lb difference! We are talkng about about a 1 or 2lb difference maybe 3 if his clutches in his carrier are completely shot. That's what I did when I had that problem and it helped it. I was pulling 1.6 60fts on BFG DR's with stock suspension and yanking the fronts wheels about 2-3 inches! My front left wheel even lifted a little when I hit second. I was also leaving around 4500

[YouGotJunk]

When I had my old black gt...it was doing the one wheel peal also. I started pulling a little past the water box...throwing it in reverse and backing up into the water and stopping...throwing it back in first..and then it would spin both tires. I dont know if it locks the rear up when your in reverse or what..but it always helped on mine.

Sorry to hijack, but you have a car that runs low 12's and it will lift the front tire off of the ground in second??????? And the rear end was shot?????? Low 12's??????? But anyway even a couple of pound difference in the rears can make a car move one way or the other off of the line. As far as top end shake have you checked your u joints?

I'm not sure if you guys were talking about my issue with the one wheel peel, but I was having the same issues.
I will try that method and see if I can burn both.

Thanks!

Hey Paul if that method doesn't work for ya I would check your clutches in your rear end. That sounds like they got some slop in them. I'm sure you know this already but in case you dont you can pack 4 clutches in on each side and make it super tight. From the factory they use 2 plates in between each clutch. If you only use one plate in between each you can squeeze 4 in on each side.

If your nice, I might show you the ropes.:tongue2:

If you wait a little while I show you my rear bumper!:lol:

That's what I said! It would only bob the front wheel when I hit second. Steveslx was doing the same thing and his was running low 13's. It was doing that when I had my motor in the lx, I have it in a lowered gt now.

I guess in all my years of drag racing I just have never seen a 12 or 13 second car pull the front wheel in second. I have seen front end travel that made people THINK that the front wheel came up. I guess that you have something that I have never seen before. Well like they say you learn something new everyday.............

Did I ever say that I did not believe you???? I am not here to impress anyone as well. Hell, I don't really even know anyone on here. I am just a Ford guy like everyone else on here (maybe except the guy with the Camaro lol). Did I not say that you learn something new everyday? Just because I have not seen it does not mean it did not happen. I was hoping someone else had seen it and would speak up, I guess not. It is nice to think that a 12 - 13 second car could pull the front in second, I just have never seen it or heard of it happening. Whatever, let's just move on.........

That's cool, I'm not getting mad. Hope to see you the track one day I'll swing by and say what's up. Its all in the weight transfer... Lol good ol 4 cylinder springs and wore out front struts.. My car did sit a little high in the front for some reason,maybe that helped it.
