Time Slips

[16civicFLA]

I'll be the first to start this convo! Last night went to Orlando speedway and finally ran my car. I am on the fourth revision with vit currently, running mishimoto intake and Invidia N1 exhaust. Ran 14.7 without break hold. My 60' time sucks! LOL

Here is the video!

Need to work on your reaction time. You'll be a lot faster. If you can get it down to a .1xx you'd be in the low 14's. Also, how did you launch from the starting line and what gear did you have it in?

 

[16civicFLA]

Yeah reaction time was trash! Lol this is cvt

Awesome time! Slow 60ft is probably more CVT lag than reaction time.
Did you use D, S or L?

S traction off eco off even tho they said eco doesn't matter

I've read that with CVT, you can brake hold and rev to around 2,000, then launch. I wonder if L would have been faster?

 

[16civicFLA]

I read the same about launching at 2200.

 

[CEXT]

I think L is always faster. Based on dyno charts, the horspower at 6000 rpm (when L stays) is higher than the average horsepower between 5000 rpm and 6000 rpm (the range that S revs within). As S fakes an upshifts, I'm sure there must be a momentary break in power as revs drop from 6k to 5k.

He trapped 1mph faster and ran 14.2, so I know if I get a good r/t I should be at least 14.3-14.2

Reaction time doesn't affect 1/4 mile time.

OP if you drop your 60' time to a 2.1 you might go low 14's

Thanks! We shall see next time I make it to the track

Any updates?

Try lowering the front tire pressure to get a quicker 60'.
