BALLBREAKER Member 427 Member For: 19y 4m 12d Gender: Male Posted 03/02/06 12:35 PM Share Posted 03/02/06 12:35 PM Hay guys just want 2 tell ues about my day at the creek.The best I run was 13 sec FLAT, it was very hot at 7 o clock it was 30 deg. I had a number of problems with traction off the lights & breaking down 3rd gear. I find it very hard to ride the clutch out of the hole & at 2500 rpm just bogs down 3000rpm & your frying rubber burning 1st & half way in 2nd chirping 3rd & fourth. My best pass at 13 sec with 2336 60 footer & top speed at 114 mph. my car is a F6 with 330 rwkw first time at drags.Another thing is it take 2 long for boost 2 came back after changing gears & one thing I can do is change gears very quick. Going again next weet after we find out why its breaking down in 3erd or 4th gear. Any tips would be a great help thanks. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're ET seems reasonably good, and your MPH definately indicates some decent power.6-speed manuals are hard cars to run quick times in so don't feel so bad. It took me 3 attempts before I cracked a 12.91 @ 116.12 mph. Edited 03/02/06 01:06 PM by M6 XR6T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't bringing boost on earlier make the traction issue worse though?Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrb93 Member 84 Member For: 18y 9m 19d Posted 03/02/06 10:00 PM Share Posted 03/02/06 10:00 PM Do you have a boost gauge?That was a good thing about the e-boost I had, you could see exactly what was going on all the time.at 4K it should only be dropping buy a couple of PSI, I would imagine.
