Title: Drag Racing Post by: JohnnyG123 on January 12, 2010, 12:18:19 PM So i'm going to an eighth mile drag strip this weekend with some buddies and had a few questions.
What is a good rpm to launch at? We're talking 5mt K24 with only a AEM CAI. What kind of time should i be aiming for? Thanks in advance. I'll try to post some vids here in a few days. Title: Re: Drag Racing Post by: slipkord on January 12, 2010, 12:52:58 PM 6500rpm
mid 16's hold on and pray.... Title: Re: Drag Racing Post by: CrackerTeg on January 12, 2010, 12:56:53 PM Mid 16's in the eighth mile? I'd put him in the 10's. 6500 is also too high of a launch but it also depends on his tires.
Title: Re: Drag Racing Post by: slipkord on January 12, 2010, 02:13:29 PM I was kidding. Forgot he said 1/8th mile. Yeah mid 10s sounds about right. Honestly, I think around 4k rpm would be a good start. All depends on how you feel launching it.

Title: Re: Drag Racing Post by: timot_one on January 13, 2010, 05:54:34 PM I should utilize launch control if I go to the strip this summer.
Title: Re: Drag Racing Post by: JohnnyG123 on January 14, 2010, 07:27:08 PM well it appears the trip to the track has been postponed. hopefully we can make it out in a few weeks. thanks for the tips everyone, i'll post some vids eventually once we get out to the strip.
