This was a fun event and great learning experience, I'll definitely be making a few more tweaks next time, and I'm actually considering some bias ply slicks. If my driveline lasts long enough to wear these out, hahaha

What’s the guesstimated quarter mile time

@TheCarPassionChannel Жыл бұрын

On paper it should have been low low 11. The last time I had it at the quarter mile, I ran 8.2@95mph in the eighth, which turned into 12.0@124mph. This pass was already 0.5 faster which means automatic 11.5, but I also had 9mph more speed at the eighth, and it's got about 100whp more. So probably somewhere deep in the 11's but not quite a 10, if I had to estimate.

@cerevo Жыл бұрын

probably stiffening the rebound of the rear shocks would help it squat and stay planted too. Tires definitely need more heat in them I bet. *edit* I think like 6-9 psi is more appropriate for drag radials

@04sneakysnake Жыл бұрын

Greg, if you're serious about continuing to drag the car I'd HIGHLY recommend getting a Magnus clutch delay valve or something similar. Electronically controlled so it only works in 1st gear, no accidental slip on any other gears, and it'll make those 60fts way more consistent.

@MrMattman0127 Жыл бұрын

Drag racing guy here. Definitely need more wheelspeed on burnout. I'd start with 16-17psi on tires. Then leave on 2 step 😇

@charlest7092 Жыл бұрын

As someone who does a bit of drag racing my recommendations are simple. If your rear shocks are damping adjustable soften them up a a few clicks you need the car to squat when the weight transfers on the launch but if it bottoms out the shocks you'll break loose, launch control/2step at 4000-4500 and if possible keep the boost at 1-2psi for the hit, since the miata doesn't weigh much set the pressure in your slicks at 15psi to start maybe even lower, the burnout start in 2nd and rev it out for a good 4-6 seconds. If it absolutely lights the tires up on launch either back down the launch rpm or pull 1 psi from the tires till it hooks, if it bogs down bump your launch rpm. Change only one thing at a time.

@twoshortty Жыл бұрын

You don’t want an IRS car to squat, it changes the suspension geometry and will camber the tires out by a couple of degrees, for the most tire patch you want a stiff rear set up so you rely on weight transfer and not suspension dampening

I run those same hoosier tires in a miata. I've gotten deep into the 1.50s for 60 foot time several times with those tires. I run at 13-14 psi. Might want to play with suspension setup and shock settings a bit. Try some more positive camber in the rear. you want the contact patch flat when launching. that requires some positive camber. It will be a lot more of a challenge with a manual, but should be doable. Congrats on topping 100mph in the 1/8th, not that many bp miatas do that.

@TheCarPassionChannel Жыл бұрын

That's very encouraging information 😁 1.5 60's must feel insane!

@TOMONAGE Жыл бұрын

@@TheCarPassionChannel That was with an automatic transmission though, I think you can duplicate it with a manual, but will be more of a challenge. You may need even lower tire pressure than what I run. You have some of my old 0-60 and 1/8th mile timeslips on your global hairdresser flexoff. The posted times was on those tires. The car has gone quicker since, and am still using those hoosier dr2's. Your 104mph trap speed indicates you should be able to crack into the 6s for the 1/8th if you get everything set up just right and get a really good launch.

love the videos Greg - cant wait to hop back into my boosted miata aswell. maybe try activating the 2 step revlimiter for the lunches. even though you will propably not want more boost on the line - there is just one less thing to worry about when going after them spicy 60ft. Consistency and less things to worry about might help.. Love from Germany

When I would go for test and tune nights with my ‘11 Mustang V8 I would use 2nd and it worked perfectly. Also, when you lower the tire pressure, mark a line on the tire and rim to see if the tire spins on the rim. Awesome watching this progression with you and the car! It’s a monster!!

2nd gear burn out is a must, also your suspension needs some work. seems like there's not enough travels, car squats hits the end of travels, then knocks the tires loose , might want to stiffen the rebound in the rear, and soften it up in the front. other option is smaller wheel and bias plys with some sidewall.
