Best MPH of the night was 98.42. All the other runs were 14.0XX

 

Very nice times! 13s are just around the corner.

 

Wow, I know how that feels, except I'm exactly a second slower. It's maddening going home when you only needed .004 faster. Awesome times.

 

Wow, and that's in street trim correct? Congrats.

 

All the more impressive considering he's auto...

 

hmmm that looks familiar. The temps for this run where:

Englishtown NJ
55 degrees
51% Humidity
29.52 Baro Pressure

How do I know bc I was the one driving but these runs where repeated about 8 times the same night so it was no fluke. On this particular run I left traction control on lol. I believe the car weighed in at 3226 on the scales at the time of the run. With a 30.0 Baro pressure that is 13's easy not to mention it was on heavy as Evo 5's. Erik get your *** to the track friday and bust off consistant 13's .

 

What is up with the 80mph 1/8 and only a 97mph 1/4...that is not typical for you 3.5's is it?

 

Yeah I cant figure out why I am only gaining 17-18mph in the last 1/8 either.

 

Yea Im not so sure either about his car. Our 1/8th mile MPH where alsmost identicle but my car consistantly gained at least 18 mph on crappy days and normal 20mph on good weather conditions. The only thing I can think of is crappy gearing a boat anchor wheels hurting it top end. I know for a fact with a decent baro pressure it will run quit a bit quicker.

 

If I go this Friday I will have my stock 17's on...I just hope traction isn't an issue...

 

GL man hopefully the conditions will be a little better weather wise also. I know you should have no problem knocking off a 13 now with your latest free mod .

 

Yeah, I need to try this thing out...gotta love the free mods

 

Don't think that's the cause. My findings show once the wheels are moving (drag, dyno, etc) it takes very little force to increase them a bit. If anything the inertia helps at the top end. It's from a dead stop that huge heavy rims/tires hurt the most. I'm guessing maybe gearing?

 

.

 

But why would my gearing be any different than anyone else's with a 2K2 auto who seem to gain more in the last 1/8 than me?

 

i think he meant that your gearing would be different in that your wheels are a different size than your stock wheels. My guess is the overall circumfrence of the 18's + tires is about the same as your stock 17's + tires, so the effective gearing is about the same.

As for gaining more in the top end, I'm pretty surprised you are only gettin 18 in the last 1/8... i was gaining like 19 mph in the last 1/8 last time i went and i dont have the headers.... somethin a lil odd there, maybe the engine was sensing knock and changed the timing? dunno

But I gotta say - 13's are right around the corner man - congrats on the times!!

 

Yeah, my 18's are almost the same size as my 17's so I dont think its gearing...I honestly have no idea what it is...
