I was trying to go to the 1/4mile last night, but several people backed out so I ended up going to the 1/8th mile.



1.76-1.77 60 ft times seem to be the limit, I ran a bunch of them. That is leaving around 5000-5500rpm. Any higher rpm results in too much wheelspin and worse times. I haven't played with suspension and air pressure too much, but I don't want to leave much harder for fear of breaking stuff.

That 1/8th mile would have been a solid mid 12-second 1/4 mile.

 

almost in the 7's NA, thats movin! Looks to be in the 12.5x range @ 107ish

 

Congrats!!! One of my best 1/8's with the 3.5 was 9.1 @ 82 ish..

 

My best was 8.44@81 or something like that. 8.09 is definately a 12.6-12.7.

 

whoa thats moving ! what on earth ran 11.3@ 62 mph ?

 

Good stuff. That would make a great 1/4.

 

I think it was a civic on that run.

 

wow iam very impressed


And can you give us a review on your feelings and how the car feels and responded to the cams you put in.
Are these the copy cat cams ? and how would you rate just regular driving with them
thanks

 

The car drives just fine during regular driving. I drive this car 40 miles a day to and from work with no issues, other than a little bucking at low rpms when you let off the gas and get back on it. There is a definate loss of torque with these cams, especially without doing the full 3.5 swap. My dyno is exactly what the car feels like, a dog down low and then comes on hard. These are the jwt knockoff cams.

 

congrats matt

 

with my calculator out, and my timeslips with 82 mph in the 1/8 th next to me,i would give you high 12's the best. you have a good 60 ft but your trap is just on the border. when i ran mid 13's i had a 2.2 60 ft and 80+mph traps at 1/8. your times are very good for n/a.

 

This 1/8th mile track mph's slower than others. I have actually trapped higher than that numerous times. Also, I ran a 12.9 on a 8.39 1/8th mile, so a 8.09 is definately a mid 12, not a high 12.

 

unless you have boost to make up the lost 20+hp in the last half i'll stand at high 12's, but prove me wrong. im just estimating, not taking anything away from your run because its a very good one. some guys with boost may have a slow first 1/8th, but when the boost kicks in make up for it in the last.

 

not sure what you missed but he has already ran a high 12 with a 8.39 1/8th mile time so an 8.09 would not equal a high 12 also. That was a 12.5-12.6 run using the formulas from his previous runs and Jimes 1/8th mile times in comparison to his 1/4.

 

i not missing anything, this is based on my low 13 runs with a 80-85 trap in the 1/8th. im just trying to figure out how he's gonna gain a extra 20 + mph in the last part to make up the difference. i could be wrong but let him go to a 1/4 mile trap and prove it, because all this guessing really dont mean crap.

 

If his car has already ran a 12.9@106 with a 8.39 8th mile gaining 22mph in the last 1/8th. There is no guessing what it would be if he ran a 8.09 1/8th, its no worse than a 12.70@107ish looking at his old timeslips. SC'ed Maximas always run more mph than there ET's show. I've had one of both and its an apples to oranges comparison.

Using his 12.9 timeslip and the final 1/8th mph and ET's came out to a 12.68 @ 107.3 using his latest 1/8th mile slip.

 

well hold that thought till 96sleeper runs the 1/4, i say high 12's, you say low 12's, we'll see. p.s this is not a bashing on 96sleeper your car is running excellent, this is just assumptions on what you could of did in the 1/4.

 

he has run the 1/4, thats the point.

 

what was his time, high 12's can be anything from 12.6 up.

 

I posted it in one of my earlier posts. I wouldn't exactly call 12.6's high 12's but no need to ***** up this thread with nit picking.

His car will run 12.6's or faster with its current setup and I'd be willing to put some money on it.

 

like i'll ever collect,lol.

 

Ive trapped 85.36 mph in the 1/8 but my best time is a 8.8 :got me:

 

the conversion factor is 1.55 to 1.57 times 1/8 time = 1/4 time - that holds true for a run that isn't botched up by a bunch of spinning or other ridiculousness or abnormalities in the run.

8.09 x 1.55 = 12.54
8.09 x 1.57 = 12.70

That car has a mid 12 in it without any doubt.


that's just from alot of wheelspin and/or bogging.

 

very nice time!! almost into the 7s, great job.

 

so with proper traction what could that yeild?
