Yep, drag racing is very humbling. I can think of some things you can improve. If you are doing a wet burnout, you need to burn 2nd not 1st to get enough temp in the 4 seconds allowed. Obviously, the wing is probably robbing a few mph there. A full tank is what I always run, extra weight in the trunk will help too, don't go with 1/2 a tank unless you want to spin. Video looked pretty fun.

 

I'll take whatever advice you have haha. I actually watched your video on burnouts and realized why you mentioned using 2nd shortly after I pegged redline in 1st. I assume more wheel speed also means more heat.

Interesting point on the full tank. I figured less weight would be better but I hadn't considered weight over the rear axle. I probably need to launch 1-2000 RPM higher to actually get the tires spinning.

Firebird has 100 MPH and 110 MPH stickers depending on the speeds you hit, so the wing will probably come off next time, because I like stickers.

Let me know if you ever find yourself up north.

 

That's pretty typical of a Miata build, except for SofH of course. I have 330hp dyno'd HP, I've been 3-4 times, and was super happy to hit 12s. 12.971 to be exact. The rest is tires, gearing, suspension, and a lotta practice. Those first three I'm not too keen on changing just for 11 seconds of racing, so I'm happy where I ended up.

 

108mph is def solid 12s territory if you can figure out the rest of the setup and driving. Road race setup miatas are pretty bad for drag racing though, honestly not bad!
