Lessons learned drag racing
Doot I mean dragging the 1/4. Can't edit that one.
Baseline starting point. Once something was removed it wasn't reattached 14.7 at 89 2 or 3 times with launches in 1st or 2nd at 2000-2500rpms. Removed valve cover vents 14.6 at 91 launch in drive (hesitated shifting from 2nd to 34d in the previous launches Removed 02 sensors to richen the runs (no light ever appeared), pulled vacumn line for fuel pressure regulator 14.5 at 92ish Removed alt belt and ps belt (already running w/o ac of course) 14.29--14.4 at 94ish for 4 runs or so Removed grill, turned mirrors in 14.3 at 94-no help Removed rear deck lid 14.242 Removed hood 14.36 All runs were done with 1/3+ tank of 3 month old gas, no windows (which I wonder if that would've helped. Temps were 70-80 all day morning was the best for air density but that's when we ran our slower runs with of course a novice driver. Thought this might help some of ya gain a couple .1s |

Looks like pulling off the belts was the big winner. I'm wondering if the .048 when you removed the rear deck lid wasn't just due to hooking up better, not because you removed the deck lid. -Bill |

Good point...would have been nice to see what you would have run with the cabin closed up (i.e. windows!;) ) -Bill |

Were all of these "stall" launches? or did you umm... do that naughty thing with the neutral, and the revving... ;) ?

An observer's comment. The car raised up on all fours when reved, then hunkered down when launched and was faster off the line while the turbo cars were still spooling up. Many never caught up.
