Man what a day at the track, no one from the board came to join me though, everybody was too busy w/ finals n shit.

I got to the track when they first opened so i can a lot of runs in. I got 15 runs in within the first hour.
I ran a total of 20 times.

My best run was my 6th run heres the specs:

r/t----.545
60'---2.221
330'--6.082
1/8 et--9.229
1/8 mph--77.72
1/4 et--14.274
1/4mph--98.68

As the day went on the traction got worse and worse cause all the v8 domestics were tearin some shit up. I ran like 7 14.3's and 8 14.4's. The rest of the runs were 14.5-14.7 range.

I ran against alot of cars on my "list" today.
-tied an srt 4 neon
-beat 2 stangs, 1 auto billet coupe w/ intake, and another auto vert
-ls1's are fuckin quick, i can hang w/ em till the 1/8th mark then they haul ass, i ran against a t top ws6 w/ a lid, it ran 13.2!!!

-60 degrees out
-gas light on
-20 psi up front
-40 psi in back
-stock tires and springs!!!
-gutted trunk
-gateshifting on every run

I need to get this slipped scanned i aint got a scanner.

I need to update my sig!!

eclipse23

Holy chit mang! I think that's the best I've seen for your mods, and an AUTO!

darrinb

hell yea boy, if it was colder out i could of went 14.0 or even 13.9, this car can def go 13.9 w/ colder temps, new tires, pullies, and light weight wheels.

beerknurd

excellent times!

Samer007

sorry i did not make it dude, busy as hell

congrats

Next time, I'll make it

Titand19

Nice work! With a few more mods, you might be able to get 14 flat.

darrinb

u should of came samer,

i cant believe i got 20 runs in.

LiQiCE

Wow very impressive time! I can only hope to pull that good of a time when I finally get my mods installed!
My best so far is 15.022 with no mods what-so-ever.

darrinb,

Congratulations on your time!!! I guess those OBX's are no joke

darrinb

i best run before the intake and headers was 15.0 too, practice your gate shifting if u want low 14's. the first 60' is the most important though.

Bulldog01

Nice times, indeed!

cusdaddy

See!!! OBX power once again!!!!

You defintely killed my OBX time of ~14.4

Great runs!!

1Cl-TypeS2NV

Awesome Time !!!! GJ

darrinb

thanks man

cusdaddy

Are you running on the stock tires? I would sit there and spin most of the time. Did you try lowering the front tire pressure? That seemed to help me a lot

darrinb

yea stock tires, read my first post i stated every thing

20 psi up front, 40 psi in the back

Where do you leave on the lights?

mattg

nice times


any chance you know what the humidity was? what were the times on your first run?

Nashua_Night_Hawk

Very nice times!!!.. Congrats...

TL_Type_S

You got all 20 runs in w/ the fuel light on?!! That's pretty cool, how many gallons did you tank take when you filled up after the track meet?

darrinb

my first run was 14.5, i had trouble hooking up, it was a 2.46 60'

i think 46% humidity

i was trying to break your record for the fastest auto bolt on matt g, plus u got pulley's and echaust over me.
if it was 15 degrees cooler i woulda had the crown, but u cant say what if

darrinb

i got there w/ the fuel light on, made like 5 runs, filled up @ the track w/ like 2 gallons

i think i over worked the cl-s, i should of let the car cool down so i can get better times, after my 10th run the car didnt hook up as well, or maybe it was over heated, i made 15 runs in the first hour.

mattg

i was trying to do the same last friday, but i only got in 4 runs.



my first run was a 14.38 @ 99.26, which is my quickest first run ever, by a tenth or 2.

i have no doubts that if the weather would have been a little less humid, and i would have gotten my normal 10+ runs i would have seen a 14.0 or 13.9.


were you using any race gas?

darrinb

just 93 octane from amoco, i tryed octane booster last year but it dont do shit for n/a cars, only FI, anything ove 92 octane for our cars is pointless

matt g, u think i should get ur pulley's to possible pull a 13.9??

darrinb

i dont get no props from the 1/4 king type R

ferizzo

Great times! Makes me wanna see if my TLS pig can run a 14.5-14.7 in decent whether. so far my best time has been a 15.2 (before header install on a hot and humid day).

types1967

good times i ran a 14.4 with just headers and exhaust and stock airbox when car had 500miles on it.i have a six speed and my 60ft was terrible 2.38.im sure now with the blower and icebox i should run 13.2-13.4

numbaonestunna

those are some nice times. What was your best 60'? You have scans of your fastest time slip?

Scrib

Chaptorial

Nice run! Its about time you updated that 15 second nonsense in your sig.

johntypes

nice times like to see next time with pulleys
best time 14.25@ 98.10

jucee187

DARRINB your my inspiration!! =) I have the exact mods you do.. obx headers and CAI.. the only difference is mine is a 2001.. and what do you mean by gutted trunk!??!. all including the carpeting?. or just the spare and jack?..
and how much do you weigh if u dont mind me asking...

does anyone know if its wise to drop the tire pressure to 20 psi on low profile tireS (40 )?.. b/c i got my rims on already..
will my 18s slow me down even though its much lighter than the stock wheels/tires setup??!.. cant get better than 15.0xx last year.. but it was pre headers and i had almost 1/2 tank and the spare in trunk... and 18s.. and im not light.. +) help pls....

ST2000

darrinb, hey seriously you can break 14 or even get a low 13 in if you try that method of stripping your car down to the body frame like in that thread sometime ago. Strip all the windows, take the trunk lid off, remove the hood, and put on some mini cooper spare wheels for the rears. I bet you'll be the fastest auto. But when you do, be sure to take some movie clips!

JRock

That's funny as hell - just intake and headers... and not even Comptech headers, and he pulls a 14.2!

Awesome.

allmotor_2000

Very nice... get 5 more hp, lower your 60-foot by 0.15s and you will definately hit 13.9's

Congrats!

Great time! My advice would be add a nx kit and dip into the low 13s! Not trying to jack your thread but I am trying to get rid of my kit because they totaled my cls. I pulled a 13.4 with a 75 shot, hks axel back and aem intake in an 2001 auto (with my heavy ass 12s and my spare). Keep up the good work!

zeroday

nice run. post the slip.

jucee187

its a good thing ur car was totalled.. i dont think the shitty. auto tranny will handle too many 75 shot runs...
isnt a 55shot enough to reach 13s?.. mid-high 13s??..

bent09

All depends. Don't get addicted and a 75 shot is fine. I only used it at the track and that was only every couple of months. Don't spray in first and don't redline and its fine. I had no evidence of tranny problems.
