488 Took 488 to dragstrip didn’t go well

Took my 488 to drag strip just stock other than novitec exhaust here. Was 108 track temp with a DA of 3960 so only ran one time. Waiting in line temp of car was 210 and intake charge temp was 140 so didn’t go well at all but hey!

 

Full exhaust or just muffler? Has a nice howl to it!

 

I wouldn't complain about a 11.1/132 on first pass.

 

That’s a strong trap speed. On a cool day with a little bit of prep and traction it is likely a 10.6 car.

 

Novitec turbo back

 

that's a very good 1/4 mile ...for a predominantly stock 488 ...assuming you lowered tire pressures on your runs too,
...yeah you should be able to get into 10s on a lower temp day

good work

 

HFC or decat? Valved or X pipe? Details!! Lol

Stock tire pressure just as drive Dailey. Was just absolutely crazy hot. Felt no need to abuse my car 140 degree intake temp was no thanks

 

maybe lower the tire pressures down to mid to lower 20s PSI ...and see how that goes,
that was a tip i was told one time at the drag-strip...
remember to top- off the pressures back to 30s once you are finished at strip

 

Non catted downpipes and non valved novitec x pipe

 

Sounds pretty decent on the exhaust there.

With street tires, A/C and power steering, anything down in the 11's is pretty darn good. A lift and power seats can easily add 200-300 lbs also.

How much gas was in the tank?

1/2 tank of fuel. The issue I feel was 108 track temp was just insanely hot

 

Yeah, air temp and elevation always play a huge role.

Larger than 20" rear tires?

11.3 or worse is typical on stock engine cars with larger over all rears than stock.
That larger diameter re-gears the car. so you tuned car with large rear doin 11.1 in the heat is normal.

Stock size 20" on a stock 488, especially 2019 versions on hot days here in Florida is 11-10.8... and then 10.7-.10.6 on cooler days here at a prep drag strip.

From what I gather there seems to be around .3-.4ish less int he 1/4 mile on 488's with larger diameter (heavier/ less sidewall) rears.

 

Have you ran it since?

My heavy ass spider went 10.50 @ 135 with big rims lol

 

Nice! Mods? Tires?
