Can I Run Faster With My Terminal Speed?

[Kaido_RR]

hey,

went down to the drags 2night, to see if i could crack a 13 second

i ran a

13.854 second

Terminal speed: 102.26mph / 165.15kph

Reaction Time: 0.230

60' - 2.261

330' - 5.983

660' - 9.038

660' Speed - 130.69kph

1000' - 11.643

my car is an r33 with stock turbo (0.8bar of boost), hks-cat back, trust front pipe, stock dump, air filter + cai, fmic, ebc and coilovers. (car is kindof setup for drift, suspension wise, the rear was abit bumpy off the line and down the track)

Now for most of the night i was running a WRX sti, he was getting bettwen 13.1 and 13.3 with 166.10kph terminal speed.

My question is what can i do to drop my time into the mids 13's, i was lauching the car at around 2000-3000rpm and slipping the clutch out (i found 2500rpm was the best place to lauch as min wheelspin)

im not that fuss about dropping the time, as i have a new setup going in soon which should see me get around 350rwhp but im just wondering what could i run with type of terminal speed

thanks michael

youl find you were losing time against the WRX in the 60 foot time

( thanxs to has AWD I bet he was getting 1.8 compared to your 2.2), which is why your term speeds are similar but his ET is 0.6/0.7 sec better. You gotta get your 60 foot time down-better launch-more revs(2500 is a soft launch)-so more grip in a 2 wheels drive car so maybe Nittos -maybe better clutch also that you can launch harder against-then you will be looking at 13.4 or 13.5@ 103 mph

With similar mods to what you have i have run a 13.52@106mph. My launch was about 4000 though
