Heathcote - Private Drag Day November 24th

[Wonky]

Would I have gone much faster without traction control on? I was going to try it out but it started raining.

Only way anyone has been able to get good times in mine is with ESP on and that's experienced guys driving it too. Even with ESP it has spun the wheels most/all the way through 1st, 2nd and 3rd and even on the change to 4th! (A6 as you know, stock stall).

It seems strange that yours spins the wheels so easily. Are your tyres shot? Your not running mega killawasps so I wonder what is causing it?

My cam even though relatively small seems to produce a lot of torque. I now have a set of MTs to try running with next time which I hope will get me down to the mid 12s somewhere from 12.83 on half worn stock SS rims/tyres. Also did one or two runs last time on my street tyres (275/30/20) which still had some traction issues but I can't remember exactly what. They did a mid 12.9 but at highest mph I've had - almost 114mph.

Thanks for the reply mate.

[zorro]

you were the white VK yeah? i was the one next to you guys in the black VY.

i just put a vid up of ours running, your just gets loose half track tho lol

Good to meet you and the missus yesterday, not bad times for you first time out. Now you got the bug will be out there even more.

Sell the slicks and get some DRs, shouldn't be out of pocket.

Strange how you cannot get traction. My car with similar setup (slightly smaller cam) on kumho 19" did 12.50 at 114.5, then same setup with high stall did 12.15 sec.
With stock stall, stalling it up to 1000rpm then planting it on the green always seems to give me 100% traction (1.96 60ft). With the high stall, starting at 50% throttle then going to full throttle works on the 19s (1.83 60ft).

What hi stall do you have (stats / type etc.)? What is it like on the street? If you didn't drag it would you still put the hi stall in it?

It's a TCE 3800-4000. Yeah I install high stalls in all my cars, they drive much smoother.
With my current car, it has made a big difference in improved drive ability. All the little surging issues I had from the cam have all gone (mainly when suddenly braking hard). The brakes don't need to be pressed as hard at the lights. No more clunking between park/drive/reverse. Take off is so much quicker. Overall, drives great and sometimes you don't know it's stalled at low throttle.

Cheers mate. Doesn't sound too scary.
