Comments on Run #:
1. Little rusty since last time I went to the drag strip. Did a long burn out
and crossed the staged line. Smoke were everywhere. My stock tires were nicely
clean and warmed. Spectators were like "what the H*ll a lexus doing on the
strip" After the burn out, they know what is coming next. The Reaction Time
(R/T) is pretty. .500 sec would be optimum. Over all the RT is not bad. 60 foot
time is terrible. 2.438 seconds. That signified that traction is a problem or
the launching rpm is too low. If I can get my 60' time to 2.0 sec, that will
reduce half second off my ET. The terminal speed is very good. Remember, this is
1/8 mile very short.
2. Tunning my methanol injection to come earlier. The first run, I did not see
the activation of the methanol system until the end of the race. It was set at 8
to 8.5 psi. lowered to 7.5 to 8.0 psi. ET was better, but my terminal speed was
lower than the first run. This is due to that I start to brake before i cross
the finished line. The spectators is getting the messege that this lexus is fast
and its a sleeper.
3. I continue to lower my methanol activation to 6.5 psi. My RT got better along
with my 60' time, however, its still unacceptable for 2.366 sec. The final ET
for run #3 is 9.267 with 81.38 mph. Run #3 i power brake and idle at 2500 rpm.
If I launch at 3100 rpm with slick, this will be a jaw dropping result.
The car felt very strong from launch to finished. 1/8 mile track is just too
short for mid to high rpm car. Over all, I think people give a new level of
respect with modified Lexus LS400. I hope you guys should take your car out to
the track and have fun.
Next time on the track, I would like to mount on some slicks in a quarter mile
track.
New Stage II dyno sheet and 1/4 mile run will be available soon. Stay tune for eyes popping-jaw draw dropping results.
