I suppose I could see that. The only timeslip up there that looks like a full run was the 15.6 @ 90mph. If his 2.4 60' time would have been the 2.2 in his first run, he could have been in the 15.2 range with similar shifts.

How much do those 18's weigh? Could be a big deal right there. You do have some exhaust work.... I would expect low 15's. Still have your stock wheels?

In your second time slip, the one where you race car #221, you ran a 15.6 @90 mph, thats pretty much right on. The guy next to you on that one w/ a 14.3 @101 should be running almost a second faster with that mph, so don't be too upset

Umm... colder is better, as long as it isn't snowing.

Back in the day i've hit like a 15.1 there at 90-91mph at that track.

Thats embaressing rawbutt!

Just soo you know i ran a 15.5 at 93mph with only 5 plugs firing at lapeer and Da barge ran a 15.1!!!!

What suspension are you running? Weight transfer plays a big part in drag racing. My SVT used to go nose straight into the air when I lanched it which was not good for the track times.

Not necessarily. Not sure if you've ever tried launching a car with any power at all, when the weather is near freezing? You get zero traction. Sure, that cold air is awesome for highway blasts, but say goodbye to your short times. There's also a good chance of losing control on a 1-2 shift in a RWD vehicle if you don't know what you're doing.

I did in the SHO, One wire was bad and wasn't firing, Don't believe me as Barge that thing was running like crap! but i was already there and paid then on the 4th run the exhuast fell off...

i sure hope u didnt put ur exhuast on urself that would suck, and it would be funny as hell to see.

well it didn't fall off fall off...

yeah i put it on my self but one of the clamps wasn't tighted down enough and slid out of the joint and became a straight pipe with no mufflers

Yup stock suspension, plus blown out rears...

Come on Steeda, you werent worried about your diff on woodward... Or else you wouldnt have done what you did.

Notice he said fastest CAR here. And you keep talking about how gay drag racing is, yet you turn around and refer to 1/4 mile times. Excuses are gayer than AIDS.

hmmm... how about ten years ago. with both front wheels off the ground for the first 60 feet.

and yes, i said car. if you want to compare previously owned streetbikes, i'll be happy to put my old R1 (or my full yoshimura race gsxr-750 for that matter) up against your tiddler 600 ANY day.

either go race robert at the track, or STFU.

improve your times big time rob and get a sct xcal2

ug, not the .5 sec claim again!

I would think most of the gains on the track would be from the benefit of having a raised redline.

That's right. It should help keep some people from having to shift into 4th gear at the end of the track.

But even with a 10HP gain, you can't expect .5 at the end of the track.

Mark

says who? and yes the raised redline helps alot rather than the rev limiter kicking in but also the datalogging feature and getting the a/f correct.

That would help tremendously

Says logic.

That would be 1/10th of a second for every 2 HP! Granted with slow cars like Contours, it takes less HP gains to run better 1/4 mile times, but 2HP will not equal 1/10th in the 1/4 mile on any car. If by that nature, I would be deep into the 13's, as I've got about 40hp over stock.

40hp = 20/10ths

20/10ths = 2 seconds

15.3 - 2 seconds = 13.3

Damn I suck at driving. I can only pull off a 14.4

Not sure what that has to do with anything. If nothing else I'd say that says a little bit about my driving, since there are a few 3L's making more than the 196fwhp that I was making at the time of those runs, and only doing 14.6 and 14.7. I've got an extra 10HP and 5TQ on top of my lightweight 17"s and sticky tires that I'd like to take back to the track. I'll be shooting for a 14.2.

good point mark

That is very similar to what I was running with my car when I first put the 3L together. I also was making about 196-198 when I had stock SVT intake and exhaust on it.
I was turning 14.6-14.8. I wasn't that good of a driver then either as some of them were in the 15s

Better now but still need some work at driving.
