488 Took 488 to dragstrip didn’t go well

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.

 

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

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

 

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?

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?
