Whell i took the L to the track last saturday and here are my times
my best run:
60 ft:2.367 sec
330 ft:6.441 sec
1/8 mile 9.743 sec
1/8 mile 75.14 mph
1/4 mile 14.978 sec at 91.68 mph

I live in Aruba and the weather is about 80 deg and a lot of huminity and there was a bit of wheel spinning
IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG??
Is it my feul filter ......etc


Ps I have nittos nt 555

 

My lightning is mostly stock only a knn air fltr and airbox mod

 

For starters your 60' times are horrible. Get them under 2.0 and you will have 13 second times. How are you launching??

 

Next time spin your Nittos up really good to get them hot and work on the sixty foot.. you'll definitely hit high and maybe mid 13s depending on the conditions..

It's definitely a trick to those tires at the track.. Gotta get them hot and sticky to help improve on you launching..

Good luck..

 

as for myself, i've learned that i will never go to the track to run ever again unless i have some slicks. get you a set of crapy rims and put you some tall slicks on it, and just give it hell out of the hole. i've heard alot of L owners do a rolling launch, try that and see how you come out.
good luck,
later

 

I've seen a bunch of your posts, but is there a drag strip in Aruba?

Launch at idle or close to it and get those 60' times down...you'll be a lot happier.

 

Yeah the launch is bad.... but wait just a minute!

Your trap speed through the 1/8th is down but not all that bad. Your speed at the 1/4 is definately off.

A while back a guy around here found out his intercooler pump was'nt working. And he was only getting times/speeds like you say. You might check that and replace the FF just for good measure as they are cheap and easy to do.

I donno whats wrong. But you are definately down on power to only go 91mph in the 1/4. Somethings not right.

WOT

 

Yes there is a track in aruba it,s called palo marga
i launched whithout wheelspin but my friends said that i,ve weelspined al the 1/4 mile
My tires are pretty wore up
some people told me that my fuelfilter is dirty Is this possible??

 

When my L was stock with F1s, I ran it in Savannah WX (80 degrees and 90% humidity). It ran 9.0 in the 1/8. Like everyone said, be sure to have the correct tire pressure and do a good burnout before launching. Be sure the boost dump is disengaged, but I don't think you have that problem.

 

I lowered my tire pressure at 21 psi but my friends told me that i had a lot of wheel spinning

 

 

get some tbars, and slicks, then see what your times do
