I went to test and tune at Richmond Dragway on Friday 6/22/07. I got in a total of 6 total runs. My best run was my second run, here is the full slip.

rt: .6710
60': 2.0087
330': 5.7814
1/8 E/T: 8.9202
1/8 mph: 78.63
1/4 E/T: 13.8643
1/4 mph: 100.11

I backed it up again on my third run with a 13.98 @ 98.9, and then again on my 6th run with a 13.94 @99.65

My other three runs I was in the mid to low 14's. On all of my 14 second runs my launches were horrible, and I hit the rev limiter on two of the runs. All in all I am very pleased considering I bettered my PB by ~4 tenths and 3 mph. When I had run my PB before It was probably close to 35 degrees cooler as well. I am looking forward to running again when it cools down a little bit to see what I can really get out of this set up. It would also help if I could get my 60 foot below 2.0 but I am only on drag radials and I suck at burning out.

My mods are all on my 1995 5-speed GXE:
I/Y/E
JWT ecu
00VI tuned with a VAFCII
Fidanza flywheel w/ fifth gen clutch

I am not sure of the weight of my car, but I had an empty trunk and I took the passenger and rear seats out of the car. This is my only weight reduction (other than aftermarkert parts that may weigh less thant he stock parts).

I have videos of all of my runs, but I have no clue how to put them online and they are not on my camera, so if I can get the camera and film I may try to figure out how to upload them on youtube or something.

 

Good runs. Glad to see everything is working out great for you with your setup. Definitely return when it's cooler

 

Very nice

 

great time carson!

 

So what was different vs your old PB?

Great numbers for sure. 60' is absolutely great man, way to get it down.

21.48MPH gained in the 2nd 1/8th, also quite nice/indicative of some nice top end power for N/A 3.0.

 

Awesome times. What wheel tire combo are you running?

 

I need to find my old slips to see exactly where the gains are. Also where do I go to find the Air density? I would like to see that too.

The 60' is usually right around what I get. The other 13.9 runs that I posted were all 2.0x 60's as well.

If I can find my old slips I'll post back. I know I posted a thread when I ran the 14.2. I'll see if I can find it.

 

Here it is.

 

that's not it. I must suck at searching. When I ran the 14.2x I was in Rockingham NC. It was before I ran the time you posted. Can you sort threads by ones you started in certian forums?

 

those are good times, now ditch the JWT and EU it up for a low 13 pass

 

I doubt EU would get me much lower. I would need to find a good bit of extra power to see low 13's. I don't plan on doing any thing else for weight reduction other than what I already do when I go to the track. I understand Dandy Max did it, but I am guessing his car was a good bit lighter than mine.

 

Nice time I love it

 

Although the EU may not give much more power, it WILL help in terms of better metrics re: faster track times. 2 step comes to mind.

 

yeah, i was thinking two step, timing advance and more accurate A/F adjustment., not to mention further extended rev limit if he dares

 

congrats nice times and 60ft

you can remove the back seat and dash brace under the steering wheel for more weight reduction

 

very very very impressive! Congrats

 

Making more power vs putting the power already at hand to the most efficient use is what I meant.

Can't seem to find it either.

 

If I could find out how to search threads started by me in this forum I could find it.

yes 2 step would help with launching, and maybe the EU would help the timing some. i am not sure what Jim Wolf does with the timing, but I know it is altered. And as far as running more efficient A/F I did dyno tune and I set my VAFCII where I want it, so i don't know what more can really be had there.

 

Come on, your search with that criteria IS possible.

Just spend a few minutes with the search feature and you should get the hang of it.

 

if you are going to take quotes than get it right this is what I said

you can remove the "back seat and dash brace" under the steering wheel for more weight reduction

there is a metal brace behind the pad which he can remove

 

Ok, stop bothering me

I still understood it as back seat AND dash brace under the steering wheel. No mention of said metal brace behind pad in back seat area.

But whatever, be more informative and this type of thing wouldn't happen.

 

Thread hijacked.... Nice times man. Anyone know if I have a chance to run times as good as these with a MEVI setup and no afc tune?

 

Only one way to find out

 

Nice times Carson. This is the N/A car I take it...

 

that is correct. his supercharged car went 13.6s @ 107 or 108 last time we were out at the track.

 

woot woot !! good show !! man sneak that camera and toss the runs up on youtube, i got to see it!!

 

fixed

Dandy, yes this is the N/A car (I wouldnt post a 100 mph trap if it was my supercharged car )


Ceasar, I'll try to get at least one run on youtube. But like I said its not my camera so I will have to see if I can get it some time soon.

 

I figured as much but I thought I'd ask the stupid question anyways, lol.

 

so what rpm do you have the vafc set to activate the 00vi ? Great job, i was aiming to run low 14's with my mods, and maybe it can happen.

 

5 grand. I found that was the best spot. I made one dyno run with the intake "closed" the whole time, then did another run with it "open" the whole time and the set it where the lines crossed and it was right at 5k.

good luck getting to your goal. Before the ECU and 00VI, I was running steady 14.3's, with a PB of 14.2x.

 

Carson is your redline extended?

 

yeah, its at 7200

 

What RPM do you launch at? What RPM do you shift at? What gear and how many revs are you turning when you trap. Thanks.

 

nice man..

 

You don't say much of anything else, do you?

 

Good Runs Man. your gonna put spray in it or no

 

I don't have a specific RPM that I launch. It's normally between 2 and 3 grand. I slip the clutch, then go to the foor as I think the car can hold it. When I cross through the traps I am either about to hit the rev limiter in 3rd or else I just switched to 4th, I could not tell a big difference one way or the other between shifting to 4th. My rev limiter is at 7200, I usually try to shift as close to that as possible (according to the factory tach.).

To the guy who asked about spray, yes I have thought about spraying it. I'll keep you posted. Currently the car has a very useable/streetable power band, its a very fun car to dive, so if I do spray it will not be any time before next race season.

 

nice man. keep me posted.
