1 st run tonight with new tires! Add 3 mph to trap speed , really 127 mph !
Got an 11.1 in there! I figured out the set up , now just a little bit more tweaking ! 10's coming real soon!

 

[hellcat1]

I would of thought with those tires, it would put you easy in the 10s... what kind of tire and size is that

 

[Mopurr]

Nitto's John? I want to get the NT05's for my kitty.

 

[Mopurr]

^^ Damn right, first run too. He'll be in the 10's real soon!

 

[bolivarshagnasty]

That's a great improvement!! Have you tried dropping air pressure? Now, it's just a matter of fine tuning the leave. I see 10's in you future!

BTW, Are those 555's?? What size?

 

[JohnnyHellcat]

There are many variables to consider. Track material and condition, humidity, temperature, tire pressure, fuel type. I'm no expert, but 11.2 sounds like a good run to me.

Nitto 555R 305 /35/20 -premium feul 93 octane -72 degree with some humidity! Going back for more!

 

[hellcat1]

Will you be using them only for the track, or are you leaving them on, btw. They look really nice sitting in the back,,

Are you the guy that was beat by the Tesla? I guess you had no problems with your driveshaft?

Running 25 psi

It's actually funny when people question 11.2 as not fast enough in a STOCK production car (OK with drag radials).

No matter how you slice it that is impressive. Practice and you will get quicker! Nice job.

 

[hellcat1]

Oh,I can only imagine how bad Johnny is going to punish that tesla,,, once he gets it dialed in,, the world will know we don't get punked

Yes ! Screaming for vengeance !lol

Awesome!

Still waiting for my gift card though

 

[bolivarshagnasty]

Johnny, I heard someone thought that the launch worked better in the street mode as the rear end set down better, planting the tires better. Might give it a try.

I'm running these tires all the time , they actually ride quite nice on the street and highway !

 

[B5 Blue]

Nice Johnny

 

[CDNHellcat]

For the Nittos nt05r I found 22 lbs gave me better 60ft times. You should experiment with the air pressure.

 

[Mopar707]

You need to drop the rear tire pressure to 18. Makes a big difference. I thought most NHRA sanctioned tracks would throw you out if you run under 11.49 without a roll bar? Is that only true of official sanctioned events and not "test and tune" nights?

11.2 is a better time than the Tesla will make.

Be careful on the DR's in the wet.

 

[Raymondhellcat12315]

Kick that Tesla's azz! Did you turn traction control completely off? If not, hold down the button for 8 seconds. Will help with launch.

Very nice work! Auto or manual shifting? From what I've been reading the testers say to get as close to the rev limiter (6,200) as possible to squeeze the best times out. I've read it shifts just under 6k in auto but it makes power all the way to limiter. Probably let the car do the 1-2 and then take over. Otherwise you hit the limiter and that run is toast. Can you give us some feedback?
