Just got back from the track, and I am very pleased. The temp was about 45-50 degrees, with the sun shining on the track. I had many new bests, here is the timeslip from my best time

R/T....685
60ft...2.249
330ft..6.235
1/8th..9.472
mph....77.54
1/4....14.68
mph....95.54


I also had a best 1/8th mile time of 9.46@77.70mph, and on another pass I ran a perfect light (.500)for the first time. I matched my best 60 ft time of 2.22 on another run, but hit the rev limiter so the time was no good.
I am especially impressed with the mph that my car is running in the 1/4 mile, because it is very high for an auto. There were some really fast cars at the track today as well. A new 6 spd tiburon with the V6 ran a 14.4 with intake, exhaust, and gutted cats. My friend Andy ran a new best in his lS1 firebird with a 12.6@115mph, and he only has a lid, headers, exhaust, and weight reduction.

 

congrats .. now it's time to update that sig

 

Great times!

 

Sweet dude! Good Job! I know how hard it is for a NA Auto to get that deep in the 14's and to have a trap speed that high. Great job! Did you do anything else to your car since you ran the 14.77?

 

****, I'd be happy with those times when I finally go to the track in FEB...

nice times!

no...same mods as before, only thing I have done was just clean my intake and throttle body, also I ran that 14.77 when it was a little warmer.

 

NICE! Weather conditions have a lot to do with times. BTW, what track did you run at? What city?

 

Alabama international dragway, Steele, Alabama

 

Sounds like a sticky track! Elevation is about 600 feet. Which will hinder your 1/4 mile times by about a tenth. Come to NC and you should be running 14.58. Sound nice, huh? Nice 60' BTW.

 

yeah, I wanna go back to NC...I lived in Wilmington, and on North Topsail Beach for a while...

Now I'm in Kansas, and I know 1/4 times will be suckin...

whenever I make it to the track...

-vq

 

Wow, very impressive time and trap. I hate 2k-2k1 autos.

 

NICE time. I'm still amazed at your 1/8th traps... incredible.

 

Damn, I can't wait to hit the track. Nice times!

 

I've seen some decent times come from KS. The elevation in Wichita is 1300', which is not good. But the closer you are to KC, then the better. About 800' for KC I believe.

 

DAYUM! Think you can make it to low 14s 96sleeper? A 14.3-sec auto would be unbelievable! Not to mention something to rag on 5spds about hehe.

holy ****



where is dmontzmax



i would be very pleased with that time on my 5 speed

 

awesome!

 

Here I am...Nice times, sounds like some freezing weather. Aaron, looks like you have some work to do, I know with what you have planned and some cold **** weather you can match or beat that...come on... Awesome times though, is this the fastest auto 4th gen N/A

 

We need to start a fund to get Aaron a cat and b pipe

Great times btw! where did that trap speed come from??

 

That must be one hell of a track because I constantly read about incredible ET/MPHs for all makes and models when they run at that track. Awesome times I must say. A 12.5@115 from an LS1 with a lid/headers/exhaust/weight reduction is absolutely unheard of. Z06s don't even pull those kinds of ETs/MPHs in Kansas City, not even close. An LS1 F-Body with those mods is LUCKY to go 13.4s here. The quickest NA F-Body at KCIR runs lower 12s @114. His mods are a cam, heads, headers, NO exhaust, NO rear interior, full slicks, 12-bolt rear end, 6000rpm launches. With a 100-shot he gets mid 11s in the mid 120s.


BTW, the altitude in Kansas City ranges from ~950' to ~1200'. Believe me, I work for a civil engineering firm, I know these things KCIR (my track) sits at ~1080'.

Awesome man. I can't touch you, which is one of the many reason I'm leaving the N/A world.

 

You're going to be disappointed running a KCIR, but it's our only real choice.


Dave

 

96Sleeper:

You've got to be making Blubyu2k2 a bit nervous You're only a couple tenths away from his best on street tires. I believe you're MPHs are nearly identical.

*note to self*
FIND JOB IN ALABAMA OR NC


Dave

 

Cool beans!

Great work Matt!

 

those are amazing times, maybe i shouldnt do my 5speed swap.
good job, i would say your doing better than don, he ran a 14.4 but that was with a totaly built up tranny and such, were you on slicks??

 

That LS1 also ran at another track in Kentucky (Beechbend Raceway). The day was crap and the track wasn't maintained very well, but he was still traping 112's-113's??

Oh, NICE JOB MATT!!! 5spd need to watch out! Can't wait to go back to Steele, going to change my plugs before and hopefully I can trap 95-96mph.

If not I am going to have to go talk to my neighbor in Kentucky that makes turbos!! lol

 

I already have testpipe. And if anyone wants to buy me a present, then I want the mandrel 2.5" b-pipe from WSP. $150!! I have a straight thru muffler coming in the mail, but since things will get too loud with Y, testpipe, and straigh thru, I will only be using that for the track.

Yes, of course I have my work cut out for me. But, don't be so sure that I will be able to match those times. I mean, come on... look at those trap speeds AND that 60'. My best 60' is 2.32. I have a long ways to go. Well, maybe I shouldn't compare my 60' to a VQ Auto... they have much more torque down low, right?

I am going to make another HDM today. I am going to hook up a midpipe. I am also going to check out die grinder kits. Well, I'm off to go shopping. Later!

 

Great times!
What mods do you have?

 

Congrats on the time!

That is what you should be running with that trap speed on your auto. When I was running 14.4-14.3 in my auto, I was trapping 96-97mph.

 

These conditions that I ran in are similar to the day when I ran a 14.948 @ 91.49mph before the variable intake. So basically, the variable intake is good for about 3 tenths and 4 mph on a fully modded maxima with an ECU. I am not done yet either. I was gonna order nitrous soon, but I think I am gonna get an UDP and a torque converter too see how far it will go.

 

what are all the mods you have?

 

What are your #'s on the dyno? Also, what were you running on for tires? Size, brand, which rims.

 

His mods = GFroce ECU, Variable Intake, Y-pipe, test pipe, b-pipe, muffler, VB kit, Hibrid Intake, B&G springs and KYB AGX's, and more to come! Right Matt??

 

impressive times btw dave 14.31 @ 96.55 is my best on street tires. Wait till i'm fully modded with about 15 more whp peak and 25 at redline

 

Variable intake set at 5000rpm
Hybrid JWT Intake
Cattman SS Y-pipe
test pipe
B-pipe (non-mandrel 2.5)
Hooker Muffler
G-Force ECU
FSTB
RSB
Don's VB Mod
stock 15" SE wheels with 205/50-15 kuhmo supra 712 tires.
B&G Lowering Springs
KYB AGX

no spare tire, jack.
Tires 25 psi front, 32 rear
AGX, 1 front, 8 rear

I have not dynoed yet, but plan to soon. I would expect to be close to your numbers Travis.

 

I have the same mods, minus the VI, but the 99's don't have any ECU upgrade chips from what i understand....anyone know if one's out?

 

Travis-

It's not the tires because his 60 foots are similar to yours. You too would be a lot quicker on a different track.


Dave

 

He just posted that he runs 205/50-15 tires so that in effect gives him a 4.0 final gear. Team that up with more midrange torqe via ECU + topend pull of the MEVI = Low ET and higher trap.

 

The tires actually don't help as much as you think, I made one pass before I left with my 16's with 225/50-16 tires and it was still a 14.7x@95.10mph, and the 60 ft time was not that great.

 

where have you been? New car yet?
