Svxfiles and I wrote the following article on www.svx-iw.com - it's a good read and gives lots of great advice for running the lowest times possible at the dragstrip. http://www.svx-iw.com/svxiw/article/?article=155 16.6 is a good start. What was your trap speed? Don't forget to post on the scoobymile.com - we need more SVX's on there! :) -Chike |

brake torque (depending on your tranny situation)
leave the gear selector in 1 the car will shift at redline the whole way up unplug pressure resistor keep it floored and go straight http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/files/NomadTW/9836.gif |

I don't think letting the engine cool, [low rpm] pre-torquing, or gear selecting makes any difference what so ever.
Doing all those things resulted in my slowest runs. Generally my car seems to run faster when it relaxes for a day or two. The harder I drive it the slower it seems to get, over time. Then again, some days it seems to be lazy, and giving it a good throttling seems to wake it up. |
