Any bets on what I will run in the 1/4?
Tonight I am going to run the 1/4 mile. I have a 2001 GLE with a Frankencar intake. The track is located 2100ft above sea level. Any ideas on what I am going to run?
By the way I am running a friends 2001 IS300 with a SRT intake and ECU. He will problably beat me but I have some tricks up my sleeve.
I will post results tonight!

For starters only have 1/4 tank of gas or less. Right before you make the runs lower your tire pressure about 10-15 psi. You could even take out your spare and jack and any stuff in your car.
Torqu brake and manually shift.
Its gettin warm outside so if you follow these you should hopefully get a best of about 15.5@89mph

The results are:
2.481 60ft
16.212 1/4
84.36 MPH
LVMS @ 2100ft
This was done with a 2k torque brake, manually shifting, and best results were with the OD OFF (TQ lock up).
By the way when I left I beat the IS300, his best when I left was a 16.3. I beat the Acura TL as well to his 16.3. Beat a WRX which got a 16.6.

of the 3 people that dropped enough cash to turn their car into a 13 second machine, 2 of them happend to use a Frankencar intake.
It doesn't mean that they couldn't have got the same/better results with all other mods being the same, and a different intake.
using stats from 3 cars, with different mods/parts isn't reliable, anyone know how to calculate margin of error?
Not saying the Frankencar Intake is bad, I have NO experience with anything other than a cone K&N filter that I had on my sr20de...
but I do recognize misleading advertising.

my 15.85@86.8 with a 2.38 feels pretty good all of a sudden
just checking my runs, i pulled a 2.63 60ft once and ended up with a 16.083 @88.25 ... with the stealin intake & nothing else still faster then your best run sucks to live up high
I'm going back there to run low/mid 15s this year w/ my y-pipe ... and a better launch

The WRX pulled a 2.6 60ft and problably bogged bad causing his 16.6.
I think running the 1/4 with the overdrive button off was good for two tenths.

my best times (i have an automagic too) was brake torqueing to 1500rpm. one run i just floored it (no brake torqueing) at the last yellow and i got one of my lowest times. takes some practice.
i also found out, after the track closed last year, that my tach is off a few 100 rpms and that i can do the 2->3 shift at redline on the tach...should be good for a tenth or 2 at the track this year
