AJmk2 2 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Depends how seriously you want to get quick times at a drag strip ? I wouldnt get the softer 888s as a comprimise though as they would wear out too fast for my liking. Link to post Share on other sites

jims13 6 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 i ran 12.56 at the pod with my old vr6 turbo, no lsd, and not on 888's or slicks. i was making 17psi , using a united motorsports ecu.good times are down to alot of factors, but a good launch and 220ft time are essential , my terminal was always around 115-119mph , which would support a decent low 12 mid 11 if i could get a better launch.i now have a charged 4mo , so we will see how that works out Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Out of curiosity, how would drag tyres work on a front wheel drive car? I may be wrong but I thought it was all about flex and weight transfer on RWD cars. I'm a bit confused. Link to post Share on other sites

How many runs had you taken the car through, was it consistantly around that time? What would you say your average was with it.I read your build thread, did you ever go forged internals with that engine, or left it standard? Link to post Share on other sites
jims13 6 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 average time was just below 13, so the 12.5 may have been a good run, i had owned the car 5 years through many diff stages, and tbh ive been going to the pod since i passed my test , some 15-16 years ago, so im well versed in launching the car. natalyia2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

FishWick 21 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Very similar to mine, but with GT30 instead of GT35 and Emerald management instead of DTA.He'd be into the 11s easily if his high boost settting could be put down to the tarmac! VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites

IbizaPartyBoy 34 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 They also have alot better fuel on tap, and most of the good times are made using proper drag tyres, not like the crap people run here.this is the main thing.. people don't realise what a huge difference tyres and fuel makes. They have drag tyres in most tyre shops out there. I used some 76 high octane fuel in an old 1.9 gti Engineering mk2 years ago when we had that fuel shortage crap, MY GOD what a different car !!! and I was mixing it as well.. Stick some street legal drag tyres on a car here and some high octane fuel and see the times fall.. VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites
