Pretty much a high horsepower course. Coulda used that new 2270 Jake? a little help here...
I got to less than a second of a turbo'ed civic hatch 400 HP and new A3S05's he is just about 9/10ths of the rules for Street mod Scared the hot shoe in the S2000 to less than 3 tenths of a second So I stayed to the game plan 2 runs on the Slicks took half the 1st run to get them to stick and then is was like flipping a switch to "grip of a gorilla" 2nd run was quick but still left a bunch out there. I don't believe I ever got close to the limit of the tires they just kept sticking no matter how much I pushed the gas! Chris Foley was right these tires don't like much camber so I'll be realigning it before the next event with them. Also with 4 1/2" of back space I still mananged to rub the inner fender well Nothing major but I'll fix it just the same. Need a 3/8" 4 lug spacer or even maybe 7/16" All in all a good day car ran like a scaulded dog all day. 29 MPG running 80-85 to and from the event. 320 head temps at the highest. 190 oil temps. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rocking nana.gif) Guess I got it dialed in pretty good. |

Well, I suspect even more grip if the entire tire was planted on the ground instead of 3/4 's of the inside tread face when accelerating while changing directions. I did have to let up a few times as the inside rear would give way as it came unloaded.
tire temps with probe type meter showed 135 inside, 128 middle and 110 outside. Thats an average of all four tires. Ran 26 PSI which seemed to be a good starting point. for reference A3S04 were nearly even across the face with this camber setting. and 29 PSI Acceleration was better with 9lbs less wieght per wheel. and a main jet combo that put me at 12.5 : 1 air/fuel. I little leaner might make more power and I might be able to get away with it for short runs. Wide open throttle for autocross are rarely more than 2-3 seconds worth. |
