TMZ Performance - Tim Zimmer
October 2009 Import Wars #7 at GLD (Great Lakes Dragaway, Union Grove, WI)
Five 10-second passes back to back on 30psi on safe tune. Highest MPH of the day was 144mph.
The transmission took a hard mis-shift at the prior race causing shifting issues this time out. Oh well, transmission is refreshed and ready to go for 2010! I will also work out the bogging issue off the launch, as it really hindered the ET's for the day due to poor 60-foots all day long.

  • are you short shifting??? I'm not trying to be a jerk im just asking a question, and that evo left like a bat outta hell

  • @10spokess

    The class I was racing in that day is a Quick 16 class Dial-in/Sportsman tree. The Evo had dialed in slower than me and gets the head-start. He had like a 2 second head start in this circumstance. The goal is that two different ET racers would get different start times so that it would be a more competitive/even race at the end of the 1/4 mile. 

    I was shifting anywhere between 8000-8600rpm in that race. Conservative on the tune as well.

  • Yeah, I was having pretty bad wheelspin especially on the last launch. It was either bogging or wheelspinning on these passes. Just couldn't find the right launch rpm yet with the new setup.

    Third gear is absolutely sick in this car! It really comes on like a freight train in 3rd and 4th gear!
