I currently have an intake wiht 4.77 gears on the car. Im hoping to achieve a 13.5 in the qurater mile. When I was stock, I was able to get a 14.2. Im probably going to have a couple runs and was wondering is one of the most important things the 0-60 time. I heard many talk about getting that under 2 sec to achieve a time under 13.9. What is the ideal time slip usually for an s2k which runs 13.5 so I could know what I need to work on when Im out there. I want to be able to tell after the first run if my start is the problem or my shifting

Any inputs would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

i think u mean the most important is the 60 ft time. Just get a good launch nail your shifts and i think you could be close to that time. What was your 60 ft time on your 14.2 run?

 

Good reactions will yield sub 2 sec 60 feet time (1,8--1.9)and you should get around 13.2's quarter time.
My stock "S" used to get consistent 13.7's.!!!

 

i see ur from SF too. U goin to moroso?

 

I'm sorry, but reaction doesn't have anything to do with the 60' times.

Keep this in mind: .1 sec at the 60' = .2 of your 1/4 time. That means if you can improve your 60' by .1 sec, then your 1/4 time will drop by .2 seconds.

 

When I got a 14.2, I had a 2.3 reaction time

 

Bad reactions at the line,will result in "bogging",or a lost of traction,causing excessive wheelspin,and both will increase your 60 feet time.
Good reactions,controlling the power delivery,will get you 1.8--1.9, 60 feet times.

 

It's not reaction time

It's your 60' time. Your reaction time should be right above the 60' time on the slip, but that does not affect your 1/4 time in any way.

 

I could sit at the light for 2 seconds after it goes green, and launch perfectly. I could have a 2 second reaction time, which is horrible, but I can still have a 1.9 60' time which is very good. Reaction =/= 60'.

 

I Hope you do better than 13.5 , Good Luck..
