I just went to the track yesterday for the first time. You guys were right, I am hooked!!! I had a blast even though the truck was not running right. My times were embarrasing for the mods that I have but I know why and it will be fixed soon. But what I wanted to ask is are my 60ft times good? I ran three times. First 60ft(and my first run down a track ever) was 2.1. Second run was 2.0. Last run was 1.9. I was running F1s with 27psi and I have truck-traks. The first run my burnout sucked, but the second two were pretty good. I dont go crazy with the burnouts since I was only running F1s. I got just a little smoke and let off. So, are my 60ft times good or do I need some work?

Thanks Guys!

 

yea thats pretty good for f1's. All i could ever muster is a damn 2.0 60' in f1's. Get some hoosiers and never have to worry about traction again.

 

I've never broken the 2.0 60' barrier but then again, I'm a 1/4 mile noob

1.9 is very good. Are you supposed to lower your tire pressure on stock F1s?

 

not low like slicks but 26-27 PSI helps LOT!

 

So what did you run??

 

Hmm I may try that next time!

 

i dunno if it is the fact that i run at HRP or not but i get 1.9's on the 555 s's all day with an occasional 1.89 with about 26 psi and no traction bars yet. im hoping to get solid 1.8's with traction bars on these tires and then 1.7's with the Hoosiers or even 1.6's.

 

So what where your times? Iam curious to see the mph you where getting with your mods.
Just remember, pratice.....pratice.....pratice

btw.........1.9 was waaaaay better than I ever got on F-1's.
Buy some slicks and get that 60' down

 

My bud with his 2002 L with identical mods as me, ( 4#, catback, VB, Chip, Filter ) pulled 1.85 60's on F1's and netted 13.2's in the quarter @ 1100 feet.

 

yea 1.9 is ok on f1's ... my times are below........ Practice ...

good luck

 

my best is 1.887 at 35 psi f1's at 13.20 with only k-n air filter and flowmasters. try 35 psi works best for me and 40 in the front

 

If you race at a track that is prepped well I think 1.8's are well in your range on F-1's. I only ran a couple times on my F-1's just for S&G. I had a 1.84 and 1.83 in route to a couple 12.5's. Fronts @ 40psi.......rears at 24psi......just a dry hop to clean them off, I am sure my Truck Traks helped out too

I pulled 1.931 on my bald f1's at about 26-27psi with no pullies or chips Traction bars seemed to help even with bald tires though


The first run after letting the truck cool down never seemed to net me good 60' times though. Almost like a second burnout was needed before the tires really hooked up well.

 

I have been running F1's and Truk Traks the past few weeks myself and mustard up some low 1.9 60ft.'s. I ended up lowering the pressure to about 17#'s to get them though. I am running stock 3.55's and stock converter too.
