Wondering where this puts me amongst the drag racers here... havent been on the org a lot this summer, lost track of people. My only mods are cat-back, UDP, GAB w/K&N filter. Also used drop resistor mod.

Times for those interested:
r/t: .703
60': 2.153
330': 5.966
1/8: 9.117
MPH: 78.49
1000': 11.842
1/4: 14.162
MPH: 97.05

Not bad for the old automatic!

 

awesome time!!! Congrats. Time to change the time in your sig.

 

already changed the time in the sig thanks tho! i was psyched

 

Did you leave it in 4 or shift? Ever been on a dyno?

 

I shifted it. right up to redline for all (well both) my shifts. No, never done a dyno run... thought about it, but figured it wouldnt do me all that much good cause i dont have anything to tune...

 

not only "not bad" it is AWSOME time for auto

 

curious, what was the air temp that night (and humidity if you know too)

 

Damn dude, that is an amazing time. Did you do any weight reduction?

That is a great time for an auto with those mods, especially a GLE. Has anyone noticed that GLEs seem to be a little slower? or not. I have talked with several people with GLEs and all have consistently said that they have kicked it down against SEs of the same year and driveline (auto) and the SE will put a little distance on them.

I ask if anyone knows if there is any difference in the ECU or programming logic for the auto. I realize that the hardware is the same.

 

Sweet time man! Nice manual shifting that auto! I like doing it myself because you run it all the way to redline! Sweet run once again!

 

When I ran that time it was around 70 degrees with fairly low humidity. Very good weather for dragging. My next run the temp was down to 62 degrees (like 1.5 hours later) and i couldnt hook up. Ran a 14.4 but trapped at 97.5! My 60' on that one was 2.3xx tho.... oh but soooooooooo close to 13's. so close

 

I've raced an SE auto at the track before and I put distance on him thru 1st gear (my only mod was an UDP - thats most likely the reason). Then it was dead even. Like a mirror image of my car racing in the next lane.

 

Huh, maybe mine's just a little slow. A woman owned it before me so I will just keep driving the sh*t out of it and reset the computer a couple of times to see what happens.

At least I have someone to test against easily.

 

That's a good time with the mods you have. Congrats!

 

nice to see some other quick automatics

get headers and enjoy some 13 sec passes...

 

ya headers would be my entry to 13's. well, got all winter to come up with somethin (hate goin back to college...)

 

nice time man. Gotta get me some 3.5 lovin.

 

Wow...awesome.

What tires you running to pull a 2.1x 60'?

 

damn!! sik time. how much of a difrence do u think the drop resister mod made?

 

Tires are stock Turenzas actually... surprising huh? Kept them at regular pressure, 34 PSI

Drop resistor mod gave me around .15 or .2 if you can believe that... works wonders!

 

That is a very good time. How in the hell are you hitting 14.1 at 97 when I am trapping at 100 mph and getting a best of 14.2? What's your secret?

 

Automatic is the secret

 

ya these auto's are no slouches!

 

thats the way to hold it down for us automagics. trust me from one automagic to the next those are some incredible numbers. heck it took a s/c for me to reach those numbers imagine if you had one, good work

 

Thanks! wish I had a few extra $ to blow, would drop on the headers and make my grand entrance to the 13's tho! maybe someday, in the meantime it's fun bein able to beat the rustangs, camaros, wrx's, etc, etc, etc....

 

nice times man my best was a 14.6 at 94... this was with a cat back and JWT pop charger. my question to you is when you manualy shiffted you said you brought it all the way to redline did you keep the pedal to the floor while shiffting or did you lift off the gas then shift?

 

kept it on the floor. to avoid goin past redline and bounchin the rev limiter, you gotta shift a tad before the tach says you're at redline. There is a slight delay between you shifting and the car responding. Also do the drop resistor next time you go, I bet you drop at least 1 tenth

 

Very, very nice Big. Congrats!

 

I know I'm sounding like a newbie here, but whats the drop resistor?

 

its a sensor that controls the shift of a automatic tranny. for us fourth gen's it located by the driver side shock tower. some people unplug it to make shifts quicker and stronger and some people make a switch so they can turn it on and off. its very similar to the valve body upgrade which helps the tranny also.

 

on 5th gens it is located in the same spot. I do NOT recommend driving around daily with this modification though, as it shifts way too hard. Only for WOT circumstances (such as 1/4 miling).

and thanks, ripper! now if only I could join the 100 mph club like you've done...

 

oh ok.. thx guys

 

derek!!! derek!!! nice I really wish i was there to see it. maybe next year?

 

Ya, maybe next year. Should still have the Max - hoping to pick up a crotch rocket in the spring too, but that shouldnt hinder dragging the Max.... Wish I had a video of a couple of my runs, but my buddy who was gonna video didnt show up till like 9:15 or so, not quite enough time to get set up to video. Well, I'll be there again in the spring mostly likely. Will catch up wtih ya lata man!

 

wow thas fast!

 

thanks
