    1/4 is always a challenge! Just have fun and enjoy the experience.
    Unfortunately, the world we live in people will quote rwhp and then assume their car will run a set speed/time. The reality is rwhp is just one component of many; more hp = slower the majority of the time unless other parts of the car are also addressed.

      @KingOfForest22 11 месяцев назад +4

      ​​@@RossReviewsauYou also have to remember that any quoted RWKW numbers are PEAK power generated at high RPM. Low-end torque and having drag radials matter a lot for a good launch. Smaller turbo FGs (Garrett 3576) will always launch better than a big turbo BF (Garret 3582) if you don't have a stall converter, because the small turbo spools up a lot faster and hits peak torque way lower in the rev range.
      Gotta look at the total area under the full torque curve to really see which is the quicker car on paper, not just the peak power number.

    sounds to me like it was a busy night if you were rushed at the staging. there is tricks to it like leaving on second yellow or creeping in on your brakes but yeah its pretty random.
    If you all about your personal time F the tree. build your boost and leave on your own terms and hopefully leave with a P.B. also all the fast barras and LS there are on a drag slick. thats the key to your 11 second run.. ( +more boost! ;p )

    will turn green at different times.

  • @aussiegrunt2117
    @aussiegrunt2117 11 месяцев назад +1

    Yeah it's alot harder than ya think, it took me three seperate occassions at the dragstrip with only 3-5runs each time plus a heap of practice launches in "mexico" to drop my time down 8 tenths. Dropping tyre pressure (i went with 20psi in the rear on street tyres) and prepped track helps immensely.
    Also as others have mentioned at the casual/test tune days, reaction times don't matter...just taje your time to build boost etc, as the most time is made up in the launch and first half of the track.

  • @G42J3T
    @G42J3T 11 месяцев назад +1

    Don't beat yourself up mate, it was actually pretty spot on, a 4050 pound car with 490/500rwhp will run 11.7@ 116mph which you did👌
    Also don't worry about the tree, just cause it's green it doesn't mean you have to go or your time has started, stay there and build the boost you want then to, timer only starts as soon as your wheels move, take your time if your going for a pb, and those standard cams should still make decent power to 5500 to 5800 pretty easy with out falling off

    • @stevanford1

  • @mikegapps7782
    @mikegapps7782 6 месяцев назад

    The win is having fun from it and learning. I'm new to it - I have a Chrysler 300 SRT with 485hp at the wheels. and the best I've done is 12.5. It can range from 12.5 to 13s depending on if I can get her to hook. I thought it'd be quicker. But then I learnt there's a lot more to drag racing that I originally thought. I do believe I can get my car into the 11s, but it'll need drag radials to do it. Low profile street tyres make for no traction off the line, and inconsistent times. Regardless of the frustration, I love being able to learn, and push my car harder than I can on the road. I've been 4 times in the past 9 months, and can see myself going more. It's fun above all else, and that's what matters.

  • @MrTroytroy
    @MrTroytroy 11 месяцев назад +1

    You’ve just found out that getting a good amount of horsepower is only a small portion of achieving good times. The issue is your 60ft. (You need to be in the low fours) Time gained here translates to around double at the end of the track. 0.1 sec gives you around 0.2 off the total time. Tyre pressure will help here big time. 25psi or so. Standard road tyres aren’t helping in this regard - even better - a semi slick or even far better a drag radial on 15’s or 16” wheel with softer tread wear and being warmed up (burnout) this means you will be able to use 1st gear - vice 2nd (albeit 2nd is better for a street surface). The car is very heavy, any weight saved here matters a lot. Diff ratios maybe not helping. As others mentioned - then comes a higher stall converter. Shifting at 5,000rpm is no doubt hurting your times, the ZF shifts are losing time too. If your protecting the box - then your at a crossroads. Do you bother spending a lot more money to go a little faster at the track (which won’t really translate to faster on the street) or cut your losses and buy something cheaper, lighter, safer, and faster or keep it as it is - a 12sec performance car (which the vast majority of Australian made high performance street cars are 12sec street cars - like 90+%) To run 11’s you’ll need to get off the line brutally quick and that puts strain on a lot of the drivetrain and be prepared to break stuff, lots of stuff. Food for thought.

    Rookie 1/4 miler here. It is a bit intumidating and nerve racking the first time. Just keep an eye on your own tree, and there is no need to go right on green. It won't affect your E/T. Take your time. It's much harder when you have car which requires you to do 5 things before you launch as you approach stage, which is what I find difficult, to ensure all your 'settings' are right.

    Don’t worry I can appreciate your frustration,it’s still a quick car in street trim,take into account your tyres were over inflated not to mention you probably running cheap tyres,it’s not gunna help,and starting in second doesn’t work better ,short shiftin into second ,you did give it a go in sports auto, it’s got a high 11 in it to,just hard in street trim,and as a begginer,it be harder but I’d be swearing worse then you at some of those people especially when you get told 10 different stories

    Tyres are everything, I knew my car was way faster but yeah they can be assholes down there. Volunteers though.
    Many times I’ve seen folks with expensive ass cars piss off because they don’t get the times they expect to get. It’s fun though, you gotta socialize and meet people, it’s great.

    insightful and entertaining video as always, actually had my first time drag racing at Calder and only got 2 runs and was also disappointed at my time. few things ive learnt from forums and advice from mates.
    tc off its a prepped surface, you will get better grip than the street.
    lowering tyre pressure is a must, even on street tyres. do a quick burnout on street tyres (only if running low pressure) cleans off dirt and gets surface warm for more grip, doing it on standard pressure will increase psi and result in less grip.
    also ive heard lightly stalling it up to 1800-2000 is ideal for 60 ft times. for a better launch you could start in first then as soon as you are off the line put it into drive or leave it in performance (experiment, you may find a few tenths)
    if you are willing, pick up a pair of 17in stockies and get some drag radials like MTs and i believe Pro street radials have just released some 17s
    imho, especially because you are on a track i reckon you can start in first and get a better launch than in second, there may be a little bit of slip but by the time you are on boost you will already be rolling a bit and you just need throttle control. by making use of every gear you are in the power band sooner and and be quicker, remeber the btr has a stupid long first gear and by launching in second you are artificially making the your launching gear longer than a btr!
    obviously you need to look after the drivetrain with the age and power level of the car but im confident the car can be launched a bit harder with the right changes and you can see low 12s and maybe 11s!
    good luck ross!

    No hate Johnny but no need to start in 2nd gear on a prepped strip with no brake boost and changing gears at 5OOOrpm instead of 62OOrpm. For 5OOhp at the wheels it should be easily running consistent 11.5s or even low 11s. Something's not right with the F6. Maybe it was the hilarious looking Helmet giving you those 12.8s..💯😂😂

    I think you should go back and analize the best Barras you have tested and look a bit harder at how and why they get the power down. Tires suspension and gearing can play a huge part as well as technique . I bolted a supercharger on my standard motor 6 litre VE ute , stock Auto , bought a draggy after watching you and proceeded to clock 10.8 for 0 to 100 that was slower than my old GTR Torana I just smoked my 30% tread Yokahamas uncontrollably . Bit of practice new 285mm Michelins lift the rear suspension so a little softer now down to 4.75 with 365 RWK.So will be interested to follow your journey and Kudos for posting the video as lesser men would bin it .

    Your on track for an 11 with 115mph but it's tyres holding it back.
    I'm due for rears so getting Michelin pilot sport 5s soon ,it's what all the falcon guys have recommended as a good all round tyre ,the potenzas are crap on the street although good on the strip ,street it just blows em off (they are 3 quarters bald though atm lol)
    And I'd be shifting at 6k ,won't hurt it.
    Don't worry about your rt ,it doesn't matter, go when your ready after the green obviously 😬🤣
    First run of the day it's a good to do a biggish burnout to get some vht built up on your tyres.
