what kinds of 60 foots have you guys been getting on the 6MT or 5AT? Please specify which and/or list mods.

I went out to the tracks last night and couldn't get any lower than a 2.2xx . Perhaps I don't know what's wrong.

Any tips on launching would be appreciated. I'm running a 6MT CLS w/ I/H/E and on Potenza S03s. I figured my 60's should be at least in the 2.1 or 2.0 range. I'm no expert at launching so sill learning.

The conditions last night were mid 70s and 50% humidity. I'm not sure what the elevation is but it was in San Antonio, TX.

 

o yeah, and I had tire pressure on front down to 25# or so and back to 40#.

 

2.043 auto . i roll into the throttle headers, intake and toyo t1s

 

2.2x is pretty darn good for a 6-Speed on street tires. I don't think there is much room to improve over that without DR's. You might be able to get a little bit more by blocking the rear springs.

 

civic4982,
w/ the 6speed it's a bit more diff cause we have the HLSD....great for turns....not so good for the track because it cuts power. At the track we want wheel spin and the HLSD doesn't allow for it. It is MUCH more difficult in our cars that the auto. You really need to see how the track is for your tire pressure.

 

2.294 is my best 60' time yet (been to the track once, ran 3 times)

K&N, stock tires, factory air pressure. 77 degrees, 100% humidity.

 

id say you're mistaken, my good 60's come with no wheel spin and 2 you can easily spin the 6mt

 

what's a good way to test tire pressure at a track short of just running it over and over and changing pressures.

 

kepp going down a couple psi at a time until you reach a compromise between spin and /mph

 

any other 6MTs run 2.0 60 fts yet?

what did allmotor and titand run 60 foots wise?

 

i beg to differ.....depends on the conditions, tire setup etc., I can't go past 3.5k WOT without the front end dancing.

I can easily spin my wheels. No issues there at all. Problem witht the HLSD....it can be your best friend or worst enemy from the standing start. With my setup i need to launch pretty high 3.5K< for the wheels to spin enough to over come the grip of the rubber but not spin so much that the HLSD goes nuts and i'm left going no where.

when i say wheel spin i mean slight wheel spin. Obviously no wheel spin is ideal but on our cars with engine mounts being the way they are.....

 

zapata: you launch at 3.5K? that may have been my problem. I was launching at around 2.5... what was your best 60ft?

 

I couldn't launch at anything above about 1500 revs without spinning too much. Anything above that netted me 2.4+ short times. My best short times were in the mid 2.3 range with leaving at about 1300 revs.

 

whoa well it really depends on the track You have to see how it works for you. Remember i have WIDE rim and WIDE tires.
2.3X range....haven't been at the track in a while.

 

stock tires?

 

At the time, yes.

 

2.2

6 speed with only CAI and stock tires. Civic4982 what was your et. and mph with IHE?

 

My 60' times are usually 2.3xx, cause I have to wait for that damn turbo to spool up :-(

 

2.2 if the track is prepped well, if not 2.3 or 2.4 or 2.5 or 2.6( i got the stock tires w/ no grip)

what was your 1/4 civic??

 

2.2 60FT. for me consistently.
Times are 14.4-14.5 all in 60 degree plus temps all summer long.
I have gotton a few 2.1 in the cold weather running at 14.3
I have all the Comptech bolt-ons minus the S/C and the UR pullies running on Z-rated Dunlop SP-9000's.

 

2.1-2.2 range - with Toyo T1-S

tire pressure at 23lbs and launch RPM between 1,800 and 2,200 depending on how sticky the track is that night.

Or how cold which is a problem at night.

Hey Civic what was your times, I run the same set up on the stock tires, the last time i was at the track i only had the intake and my best time was 14.61 with a 2.29 60ft, but i have ran 14.6's with 2.3x, these cars are just hard to launch, with stock tires i launch around 1500k rpms's

kevin

 

i usually run 2.2's.

i have run some 2.19's and even a 2.17.

25 psi, TB~2500 rpm, mash the gas while simultaniously releasing the brake and go.

 

Best I've done is 2.25...on stock tires, with around 21# in the front and 40# in the back. TB to ~2300 or ~2400. Check my sig for mods.

 

My best is 2.25s on stock tires. I had one a 2.0 on Nittos 555 street tire. I do not know if it was fluke or timing error. I could not repeat it. I could say I am consitent at 2.3-2.4.

 

2.3-2.4 on generic 205 tires
cant wait till I get my wheels fixed. didn't get a chance to run with the headers and my SSRs.

 

2.18 the best

 

2.19 on TL-s w/ 19" Nitto 555 40 degree weather

 

Best was 2.094 on DR's... 6spd sucks... only slicks will help further!

 

I ran a 14.3@98 ... in 75 degree weather. 2.2 60'... the trap speed was odly low...

 

those s-03 are very sticky, the reason for the low trap is cause the s-03's are soo heavy , i dunno thats my best guess

 

my best so far 2.24 60ft tire pressure at 29 in front and 36 in back and 75 degrees on stock tires 5 auto

 

how about some of you other 6 speed guys who ran 13s with headers? any help on launching etc?

 

the only 6-spd guy that ran 13's i know of if is "i am rob g"

kevin

 

The best I was able to get was a 2.306. I'm sure at a better track I could get a mid or high 2.2, but I doubt any better than that. I ran a 14.5 @ 96.5 (best so far) with that 2.3

 

so where is iamrobg? I wanna hit his times! ... any tips would help.

 

I finally found a way for my street tires to pull low 2.1 sec consistently in 60ft time. The bad news is you have to really smoke your tires, just like John Force. Make sure they are hot and sticky. I have ES100 235/40/18 and I pulled low 2.1 sec in my 60ft time. I did it 3 consecutive times.

 

I'd be curious to know what everyones RT is?

 

Usually between .530-.570. if I am concentrating. I have done 1.0-1.2 a few times when I am

 

My best is a .503

Oh and my 60's are consistanly 2.1x-2.20x ContiExtreme Contact
