i ran down the 1/8th for the first time and surprisingly broke 14's with only a short ram intake

 

In what? Your bike? Your three wheeler? Jogging? No car details no care.

 

It clearly says he was driving a bicardi at the top of the slip.

 

i needed a ypipe, 2.1 60' and an intake to achieve that in my auto. Nice driving.

 

Don't most VQs average around a 20mph gain in the last 1/8 or am I mistaken?....good times btw....

14.9 at 90 seems like a low trap

 

Its a tad low, but definitely normal. I ran a 15.0@90 in my max,so its about right.

btw nice time with just a intake

 

auto or 5spd?

 

14.9 in the 1/8 mile? I run faster than that in the 1/4 mile

 

Not at my track

That's what I'm wondering.

Cliffs, 5MT, magnaflow muffler, short ram.

 

If you're rockin an auto, is it quicker to shift manually, or leave it in D?

 

Perhaps. I ran a 15.5 @ 90 (with a 2.4x 60' time though)
For the stock intake manifold, leave it in D. Wait, you're a 2k2...nevermind, I'll let someone else chime in.

 

You're still right.

 

really it depends on the driver, where the TCM decides to shift, and experience. the only way you can know whats best is to try it. one mans 13s strategy can lead to another's 14.6s.

 

Invalid post.

The subject....The question was if the driver elft it in D, would it make a difference. Meaning, we weren't discussing launch/etc.

According to my experience, the TCM shifts @ 6000 RPM +/- 8% when left in "D". Jime has also proven there is a very minmal effect re: 1/4 mile ET's when shifting @ fuel cut vs 6k(i.e. leaving it in "D") in a very close to stock A33B.

Most importantly, it depends on the powerband of the vehicle.

 

everyones experiences are different, you have to try it both ways. i used to have a 5.5auto...it was faster for me to shift myself. so keep the absolutes away, there are very few that correctly apply to drag racing. plus, youve admitted yourself that your car's a dyno queen

 

not bad, looks like he's driving a 95/96 model maxima.

 

I've ran at the track a few times, but since I'm a mile high, I don't post them. If I posted them w/correction, that would just be After I run, I feel like .

Uncorrected I put down what a near stock 4AT does @ sea level, but my powerband is different. Anyone with a little experience with these cars can decipher my times & possibly get pretty close guess as to what my trap speed is from my powerband.

 

sorry about that i meant 1/4 mile and yes it is a 96 and stick
