Track Times With New Supercharger

Track Times With New Supercharger

Friday night was my first time at the track with my new s/c installed. I was happy with the way the car ran overall. Temperature was around 72, humidity was around 58%. Here is my best and worse run side by side:

Best Worst
R/T .505 .496
60' 2.225 2.336
330 5.898 6.109
1/8 8.902 9.147
MPH 81.17 80.68
1000 11.498 11.768
1/4 13.679 13.972
MPH 102.72 102.06

What is interesting is that the car was having a stronger run on my slower time above (see mph) but I blew the launch with wheelspin. With a good launch I think this car has a 13.5X in it. This was on 93 octane, using the high boost pulley, I had my heavy 19" wheels on and my sub box in the trunk. Boost gauge showed about 5.5 psi max.

This is the thread i was waiting for.

So a 13.6 w/ the CT Supercharger on an Auto. Nice times considering the temp and humidty. Love to see how it ran in 32 degree weather.

I was wondering if dropping 5 grand would be worth it. I think it very well might be.

WOW... you will be smoking if you could get down to a 2.1 60'.

Take 1 tenth off your 60' and it'll save you 2 tenths on your ET.

get a zex kit for 1/10th of the price and you'll be faster than a blown cl-s

Thanks to all for the responses. Next time I run I will have the stock wheels back on and I'll take my sub box out of the trunk. It just one 12" but every little bit.....

I was really just hoping to break into the 13's with the boost issue and no I didn't have the helmet. Luckily I knew one of the guys working so they let me continue running. I will need one next time!

The lightest wheels I will probably ever have are the stock wheels. 13.2 will be tough without drag radials. I know a 13.4 is possible under the right conditions with a good launch.

How's she been running lately?
