finally a ¼mile pass

[<-~Jo~->]

i tried my truck on the quarter mile but still have thing to get right for better times ... my rear brake are too tight so i cant burn to warm my rubbers so i spins as hell ... ill get my slips from my truck tomorow to show you guys but i did 15.2 a couple of time ... you could probably suggest me idea by my time slips



do one of you guys know what spider gear ( i guess its how it is called ) i could put in to spin both wheels ... do the 4x4 have a limited slip ? any other cars .. that would fit in my rear end ( not mine but my trucks ) or companies who make some ... i know i have 3:7:3 gears in the rear and no kind of sort of limited slip

is 15.2 good for a practicaly stock v-8 into an s-10 who spined as hell ...... ??

thanks alot guys and ill get my slips tomorrow

Any kind of traction problems distort the 1/4 ET dramatically. It doesn't alter the mph by much and that'll give you a good indicator of ET potential.

What was the MPH?

[mrmidnight]

4.10!

thanks alot guys and ill get my slips tomorrowIf you want a factory limited slip rear look for S10's with the G80 RPO code in the glove box.It will be harder to find a limited slip rear with gears any lower than 3.42's since they are the most common gear in automatics with limited slip.Which 3.42 isn't a bad gear at all.A pretty good middle point.If you wanna go aftermarket there are plenty of those to chose from.Just check out Summit or Jegs.But as to traction your gonna find it hard to get traction in a S10 especially one with a V8 in it with out some sort of traction assistant.It's just plain weight distribution.The ass is to light in other words lol.

4X4 to AWD Conversion!

[<-~Jo~->]

i bought a 4x4 frame that will be awd with a astro awd transfer case and equiped with a souped up v-8 ( would dream of the gale banks twin turbo ..aaahh ).... thats my project but my little yellow truck is my fun ride until the other is ready

[<-~Jo~->]

i still didnt think of my time slips and its pooring rain outside so ill wait it stops and ill go and get them ....

[Blazer69]

isn't the g80 the locker? i thought gu6 was 3.42 limited slip?

[<-~Jo~->]

id go for a locker too

[<-~Jo~->]

ok so my slip can be read as next

reaction : 1.155
I1 : 2.355
I2 : 6.695
I3 : 9.733
mph (I3): 72.201
I4 : ( not written ? )

E.T. : 15.141

MPH : 89.507




that is my best e.t. a had a couple of passes at 90, 91 mph ... and a couple of reaction time in the range of .850 to 1.231


tell me what you can see in this and could you explain the thing about lockers or limited slips that you where talking about id like to know

[Sparky2263]

90-91 is gonna be a mid to high 14. Prolly 14.7-.8

Get that 2.35 60' time below 2.0 and you'll be running mid 14's.

[<-~Jo~->]

and for this i need bigger tires a limited slip or locker .. traction bars ? ...




and unfortunately horspower ... but would the tires and locker or limited slip help alot ? and would traction bars also be worth it ? ... those my reaction time have something to do with my times

[Sparky2263]

The only traction aid a V8 S-10 running mid 14's needs is some weight. Dynamic or static. Move the battery to the rear, front drag springs, front drag shocks or any combination.

As far as posi, consider any 1/4 mile attempts without it, well, spinning your wheels ;).

Tires capable of traction at the track are also a must. I like the new M/T radials.

[<-~Jo~->]

ok thanks alot ! and about these m/t radials .. mickey thompson what are they ? :S ... the et street, the et street radial , ... ?

[mrmidnight]

get the R/T down there bubba, aim for around .5

[Sparky2263]

get the R/T down there bubba, aim for around .5

hmmmmm, where have I heard that before? ;)

[<-~Jo~->]

.5 r/t is perfect right ? ... that was my first trip to the track andit was a cruise night sinced i worked during the day a was there 2 hours and did 5 passes ... ill practice more for sure

[Sparky2263]

That's alright, midnight had a good coach :).

[nomaboy]

the most important thing is that you had it taken completly apart, then you put it back together AND it made it down the track under its own power...that is somthing to be proud of.
with a posi of some sort, wider tires and traction bars (caltracs) bet you could do a lot better.

Holy Dead Thread Batman!

[nomaboy]

oops. didnt see the date. i was just reading all the different treads
