Wannagofast Indiana 1/2 mile

[EvilWon]

I went to the wannagofast 1/2 mile event this past weekend in Indiana. I was able to run 158.8 with a DA of about 1700 ft.

Mods include arrow tune, smooth tubes, k&n drop in filter, and a under drive pulley.

A comp blue heads/cam ACR ran 161 so given that I'm pretty pleased with my results. I'm still debating on headers. I feel like that would finally put me in the 160's.

It was nice meeting you. I think if you were driving my car it would have gone faster. I'm not a drag racer and afraid to powershit. I killed a clutch and trans in previous car from powershifting.

Evil, impressive traps! 2 more mph for the H/C car looks weak. Driver mod needed ASAP!

I'm sure he could show me a thing or two on a road course if I had to guess.

Im still learning how to use all the power the car has stock and can only imagine 100 more hp on a road course or auto cross.

Don't forget the ACR has significant aero impacting its MPH.

Great trap Evilwon!

[v10tt]

You are right, I forgot about that!

[EvilWon]

Much to my surprise removing the wing didn't improve his mph. Both of us were kind of surprised by that one.

As in, you removed the wing on an ACR-E?

The suspension is designed around the downforce. All the info from Dodge/SRT states that you cannot drive the car without the wing. AFAIK, the aero starts taking affect around 50mph.

[EvilWon]

I don't have the ACR. The owner of the ACR removed the wing for two runs to see if it would help.

[Dfunk]

Wind and heat were killing my speeds by mid day. My fastest runs were in the morning. I removed all aero parts except the canards. The rear of the car was wiggling above 140 without the rear wing. It's a give and take with the ACR-E.

What tires were you running? Definitely a solid trap speed.

I was supposed to attend this event...I was leaving my house Saturday afternoon to drive over when I promptly ran over a screw with my driver's side rear tire. Didn't even make it out of my neighborhood.

Where exactly was it held?

French Lick Municipal Airport, about a 3.5 hour drive from my house.

I was there Sunday. First time racing the car, my best was 151 mph. Completely stock with pzero's. It was a great weekend for it. That really sucks about the screw Steve, was hoping to meet you out there.

The 158.8 was on a R888's

My first run of the day was on the corsa's and I ran 157.4. With the R888's earlier in the day I think 160 might have been possible.

[1.8t]

Did you no lift shift all gears?

[EvilWon]

Yes.

[ViperPete]

That's a hell of a good trap speed.

I ran 152.33 bone stock in 32 degree weather.

By the time i run the car again i'll have it tuned, and i recently installed full Belanger exhaust. I am really hoping to 160mph. The car is such an animal with the exhaust.

Did you start off in 2nd gear???

[EvilWon]

I started in 1st........why would you want to start in 2nd?
