i just got back from the track and wanted to share my times and see what yall thought!

i had a total of 16 runs down the track. i don't have access to a scanner at the moment, hopefully soon, but my best time of the night was....

r/t .295
60' 2.09
330' 5.95
1/8th 9.18 @ 77.11 mph
1000' 11.75@ 88.83 mph

my mods are listed below and i was on street tires. what do yall think? lots of people there were pretty impressed with my car. is this about average? thanks!!

60' time is great, ET is pretty good, trapspeed is about average.

 

Fist time i seen a 1000 foot track. What would the quarter mile be like? 12s??

 

very low 14s - he has intake, headers and exhaust...

 

neal do you think i could get a better ET than that? or is this probably the best time for my setup?

 

What year is your car?

 

97 5speed

 

do you run each gear out to redline? if you are, you might try shifting a bit earlier. if you had a dyno i could tell you exactly where to shift each gear. do you have one?

i don't think the time will get any quicker unless you are able to shift more optimally or something like that. 2.09 is about as good as a street tire launch can get. drs or slicks could get you better times though of course.

 

no i haven't dynoed it yet. i hope to christmas break.

i usually take first grear to about 6300, pretty much redline and then i shift from second at 6200ish. but no....i don't take it all the way to redline.

would you suggest shifting earlier?

 

it's hard to say exactly where to shift without a dyno, but typically without a VI, optimal shift points are approximately these:

1st to 2nd: redline
2nd to 3rd: 6300
3rd to 4th: 6000

so it sounds like you were doing pretty well with what you had.

 

awesome! thanks for the info! i apprecate it!

i'm hoping to do 00vi and turbo next summer. i'm getting there....slowly but surely!

 

an A32 with usim 14.1-14.2 (give or take shift points 3-4 and temps) if memory serves me correct with this 1/8th et/mph the usim takes about 5 - 5.1 seconds to reach the 1/4 mile wide open !

 

what do you mean? are you estimating my quarter mile? 14.1 would be nice!

 

correct ^> estimating

 

oh ok sweet man! i'm pretty happy with those times considering the work done to it! i love your car MADVQ....do you have plans for more power in your car in the near future?

 

my best was 13.987 last year when i bought the car its a 95 blue se, 5 speed, stage2 clutch, unorthodox udp, flywheel shaved, warspeed y and hiflow cat.. and megan 2.5" catback.. its 2" lowered and injen cold air intake.. it was my friend who ran it and i watched it... i ll try to see if i can find the slip

 

awesome times man! i would love to see your time slip for that. i want to do the flywheel and UDP but i didn't know how much it would help. you have encouraged me to get those! haha. hopefully you can find that slip!

 

yeah ill try if not i ll just make another pass and see what shes all about...that was on 93 octane tho.

 

and the flywheel weighs a little over 14lbs but its the factory one.

 

wow 14 lbs! that's pretty good considering the lightened flywheels weigh like 12 lbs.
