View Full Version : Still in the 14's....

Went to the track last night, 85 degrees, Roto Fab, mid muffler delete, x pipe, catch can....

Couldn't break into the 13's at all. 14's all night! My 60ft times were in the 2.2 area.

I had lowered my tire pressure to around 30 PSI, was this low enough? I don't think I was spinning....

Launching at idle or a tick above idle.

I'm at a loss, could I have a factory-weak car? Or could I just suck at driving?

The 2.2 60' is killing you. Is the G8 tuned?
I am waiting for the weather to change now. I won't run my G8 until the temps are under 75.

Also get a HSRK to help with the heat.

All of these are major contributors to your times. Wait for cooler weather, get the HSRK and get a tune and you should be in the 13's easily.

Hot and humid = crappy 1/4 mile times.

The G8 is not tuned, I'm waiting for the temps to go down before I go back.

Tune will make a pretty significant difference.

Get a good tune, and go back in October......also let you car cool down after you get to the track.

That may be a problem, I didn't have time to let it cool down properly.
