Finally in the 12's

explor4u · 04-02-2008, 06:39 PM

Just got back from the track and after weeks of 13.0 runs I finally got in to the 12's

.

Here is the time slip:

Nice! Its crazy how those couple tenths can mean so much when your on the edge there.

**Fletch07STI** · 04-02-2008, 08:05 PM

Good to see I can't wait til I can try at the track!

exsidrvr04 · 04-02-2008, 08:43 PM

Great time! Just out of curiousity though, is the xpt map known to be more aggressive than the cobb ots map?

M.K. STI · 04-03-2008, 01:47 AM

nice,im heading down the same road,so close to 12's.

Work on your reaction time, that will be your largest free modification

BillFromTR · 04-03-2008, 02:52 AM

Again with the reaction time?? RT doesnt matter one iota. Very common misconception. Time starts when your front tires trip the time sensor. RT is the time between light going green and your tire breaking that beam. You WILL not run any faster by getting an .001 reaction time.

Thanks to all

! It feels great. Now I have my eyes set for 12.8. This was done launching at 5500rpm, tire pressure was set at 30psi front and 26psi back, and DCCD set to "auto". I know I still need to work more on my shifting, but I have a question: would a short shifter help improve the times?

exsidrvr04: yes the XPT map is more aggressive than the cobb and it's great. I was trapping (me been a average driver) no more than 100mph and no better e.t. than 13.4 with the cobb and my first time out with the XPT I went 13.01 @ 105.21mph. Orlando Speedworld - 3-12-08

what are you shifting at? and what tires are you running?

Shifting at 6800rpm all gears and original tires (Potenza RE070).

Congrats btw!! I have similar setup but use apv2 no protune though, it'll be intresting to see how I compare to that.

I'm not protuned neither; this is an OTS map from XPT. However, it took me couple of weeks to get into the 12's. Practice all you can and you will get there.

Good Luck man!

exsidrvr04 · 04-03-2008, 09:33 AM

The reason why I was asking is because on my cobb ots map with a full 3 inch catless exhaust, and injen intake, I ran a 12.8. So if the xpt map is more aggressive and the better gear ratios of the 07, you should easily be able to hit mid 12's.

kiwee · 04-03-2008, 09:43 AM

congrats man!
i don't think you'll do any better if you don't improve your launch slightly.
good 60' time. try for a 1.6 60' and you'll hit a 12.7x

santacruz02 · 04-03-2008, 10:37 AM

oh yeah thats right the 07's have the best gear ratio.. when you trap are you in 4th still right?
