1st time dragging
Posted: Sun Jun 17, 2007 3:11 am
Went to the street legals for the first time in my Fiero, went faster than I thought, but I have to find out a way to launch this, I either got wheelspin followed by low RPM bogging, or just bogging out (2nd run I got down to like 1500RPM).
MY best was my 1st run, spun for awhile, did the usual 3 second 1-2 shift, hit the rev limiter in 2nd, and carried it out in 3rd, which is like th2 Isuzu 2nd, in which it has a large RPM drop.
R/T: .999
60': 2.350
330': 6.568
1/8: 10.160
MPH: 67.43
1000': 13.275
1/4: 15.849
MPH: 88.14
I wasnt expecting the lights to go from yellow to green that fast, all 3 yellow came on at once, then the green 0.5 seconds later. I was idleing when the yellow came on, started reving up then said oh shit, when I noticed the green was on too, and dumped the clutch and mashed the gas. The I hit the rev limiter in 2nd, which comes on at 7200, but cuts back in at 6500, so that probably slowed me down too. It was a fun night, and I drove home just fine. I raced with 1/2 a tank and a spare and stuff, I only removed stuff that was not held down. I weighed about 2750lbs while racing, weighed in at 2820lbs with a full tank, and the stuff I removed, like a spare coil housing and coils, torque wrench, and jack.
My best/worst times from all 4 runs:
R/T: .578/.999
60' : 2.224/2.449
330': 6.568/6.783
1/8: 10.160/10.411
MPH: 68.87/67.38
1000': 13.275/13.532
1/4: 16.124/15.849
MPH: 89.02/87.48
