Drag Racing W/ Forced Induction
We need a drag racing thread.
What setup are you guys running. Clutch, SC or TC, Tires, Suspension, misc? I have p&l's kit and I launch at 4000 on 245/45/17 nitto nt555rs, @ 25 psi it wheel hops nasty, at 18 - 20 psi it wheel hops but not as bad. What are you guys running, curious to hear other people's setups

To be completely honest, I feel we need an entire Drag Racing section. Somewhere where we can talk about different topics suspension adjustments, Tires, clutch tricks, launching aids, 1/4 mile times for N/A, 1/4 mile times for FI, drag car builds, ect..
Yes we all know these cars are great for turns and such, but the type of racing differs per person and preference. Sorry for the rant. Edit: Thread created http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...68#post2294768 |

I did a few more test hits.... on a road in mexico...
I set my air pressure in back to 16 psi. Raised the 2 step to 6000 rpms to build about 4-5 lbs of boost to do a burnout. Lit them up for 6 seconds or so. Lowered my 2 step to 5250 - 5300, preloaded the drivetrain with the hand brake, and slipped it out aggressively. I spun for about 20 feet and then it hooked and booked. No more wheel hop

Or go to poly bushings in the back, that's typically what causes wheel hop. The bushings get loaded up then "pop" back into place and it's a never ending see-saw until the car finally hooks up. Not to mention the continuous shock loads seen under wheel hop will break shit quickly. |

What else would you reccomend. Subframe bushings and what other suspension bushings?

Definitely do subframe or at least the Whiteline inserts, that's where most of the flex is.

Agree on the need for Drag Race section.
Interesting to see loading the drivetrain with a hand brake, good idea to reduce that initial shock. A hydro hand brake would would real nice for that.

Okay, So I did some passes at the strip last Saturday and i'm hitting the rev limiter before attempting to shift into 5th.
Current: Manual Transmission Unknown Horsepower. estimating 260-270 RWHP Bridgestone Turanza El400 Hockey Pucks. Relevant info: Factory suspension settings 2013 FRS Sprintex 210 Supercharger Tomei Equal Length Headers E85 70mm Pulley (~11 PSI) Stock Gearing 215/45/17 tires resulting in a 24.6" tire diameter 7450 RPM rev limit topping out at 12.9 at 105-106 MPH in 4th gear riding out the top 50 feet or so on the limiter Due to the limiter I have a choice of attempting to shift to 5th or riding the limiter. 5th gear is impossible to shift into within 50 feet at 105 mph. The easiest change is to increase the rev limiter to 7800: Proposed changes option 1: 7800 RPM rev limit top speed in 4th around 114 or 115 Since my tires are nearing the end of their useful life, I may be interested in changing rear wheels to 17x7.5 and tires to stickier street tires sized at 245/45/17 tires resulting in the following: Proposed changes option 2: 7800 RPM Rev limiter 245/45/17 tires for a 25.7" tire diameter top speed in 4th around 119 or 120 The last option is 17x8 wheels and tires with stickier street tires sized at 265/45/17 tires resulting in the following: Proposed changes option 3: 7800 RPM Rev limiter 265/45/16 tires for a 25.4" tire diameter top speed in 4th around 118 or 119, still simple I probably put way too much thought in for a tenth or two, but every tenth counts in drag racing. Anyway, Which setup makes the most sense realistically, not necessarily monetarily?
