1st trip to Track - L99 Whipple / Headers Help !

[Indyblue98]

Ok 1st time running , 2012 L99 Whipple charged and Headers highflow cats.
Some Pfadt Suspension Bushings and Trailing arms.
Stock tires/pressures.
91 octane fuel

I'm no racer by any means , just having some curiosity to deal with.

The 60 ft times were 2.08-2.09
And best MPH was only 112
Bottom line : 4 passes only broke the 12's once.

1360 Altitude 86 degrees 42 % humidity ..chart shows 3972 FT DA
What does this mean for corrected times?

I could get off the line without spinning but once the tach hit 3000 it would spin .
Best effort : was let it spin thru the top of 1st and most of 2nd gear.

Did data logs for the tuner : who said it was pulling too much timing and running rich on top.
Sent a new file with 3% trim on the fuel and more timing on top... next time should pull better.
Left lane both times,,, guy broke on one run at the light ,,they waved me on,,so really wierd reation time for me

first lower your tire pressure to 22 or 25psi its like trying to hook with bricks ur tires have to have alittle cushion to get out of a dig without apinning. 2nd ts hot humid and ur at a higher elevation so his new tune will help but dont expect a miracle. last this track thing with this cars setup is new to you so make as many runs as possible and youll get good with it. or solve all problems and create others by running slicks.

The biggest problem is running stock tires with all that power, get some Hoosier QTP's before your next trip to the track

Honestly , kind of afraid of breaking something if I used Drag Radials.

At least with the setup now , even though it was spinning , the line was pretty straight and no wheel hop.

Probably be several weeks before another Test and Tune night is available , try get my nerve up by then and be more aggressive off the line.

Tires.

I ran stock tires when i had my whipple, headers and a tune and went 11.78@119
Have you dynod the car yet ?
I was in the mid 13s the first 7 passes i made with the first set up but then i firgured out i just had to put it in drive with traction control on and that made all the difference in the world!

ur in fl though that makes the world of difference plus the time of year

Car is showing 508 RWHP and 492 Torque .

Have not tried leaving traction control on.

Another C5 that runs a procharger at 10 lbs boost, told me that he always launches in 2nd gear and still manages 11.80's.

So I have lots of things yet to try.

Probably put in some better fuel next time, but I needed to get some WOT data logged for the Tuner to fet a read on my cars progress with 91 octane.

Car is at 2300 miles only a few months old so alot of learning to do.

Thats a lot more than my car made with that set up i made 460 rwhp
yeah traction control off is useless without drag radials or slicks you
He launches in 2nd gear? He has a manual ?

No , automatic . but he has a 3400 stall .

With the headers added we also switched to a 3.875 Pulley ,,, makes 9lbs boost peak now.

Didn't realize that traction control had progressed that much,,,,figured it would sense spin and just shut down.
Definately got my attention, going out and give it a try .

I can see leaving stabilitrak on but not traction control, but that's just me.

You need to work on a bunch of stuff, were you 100% floored in those two passes in those slips?
