should i be running this way. my best time in the 1/4 mile is 16.505. I have 1996 auto with a CAI, y pipe and a exhaust. here is a copy of my time slip. I raced at rockie mountain raceway in Utah.
R/T .848
60' 2.59
330 7.108
1/8 10.751
mph 68.06
1000 13.856
1/4 16.505
mph 84.66

 

You should be in the low 15's at sea level. What is the altitude of that track?

 

wat was the weather like???
i ran my 99 auto first time at the track and made 16.1 with jus
a monsterflow filter and my own upper tube..and my 60' was 2.5

 

Your time is 15.64 after being corrected to sea level. Here's their website: http://www.rmrracing.com/2002/drag/drag-strip.htm

Here's another useful link: http://www.prestage.com/carmath/NHRA...on_Factors.asp

 

The track is a little over 4200 feet.

 

Just to make sure, is you A/C off . One of my friends had a heavily moded CRX and got crappy times. So I decided to go with him and found he raced with his A/C on.
Thanks,
Paul

 

My A/C was off.
Im pretty consistant in running 16.5 because i have ran it 4 times now. do you think it could be my knock sensor

 

Its most likely the altitude like someone mentioned before. It makes a huge difference on your ET.

 

It is the altitude. Trust me. It could also be track conditions or weather conditions. You could be losing traction. Air temperature makes a huge difference. But, the biggest thing is that you're over 4000 feet high. That is pretty high. If you came to a track that is sea level, right now... you would probably run a 15.64.

 

thanks for the info

 

In the Maxima, the A/C is cut automatically when you hit full throttle.

 

geez, that makes my moms 98 auto se, {bone stock} look fast!!


redneck intake, 80 something degrees and very very humid the night i ran
was like 16.2@86 something
with a 2.44 60ft

 

ya i've noticed that lately since i always go full throttle, the car starts getting hot, it's a good feature but it's sucks.

 

its the altitude, i ran my auto 96' GLE at a 15.6, thats a whole second difference. if you ran your car under normal conditions im thinking about a 15.2 or 3

 

i did 2.454 in the 60' againest a rx7 souped-up. and he did 2.797 with a 15.179 and i did a 16.382 stock. hehehe to slow for me.
