well, thats not too crazy, except here is where i get confused.

i went to the track and i ran a 9.9 (bleh) he ran a 9.3, but heres the weird part, his trap speed is 76 and mine was 73. somethings not right, 3 mph doesnt equal .6 seconds.

 

are u talking about 1/8 mile?

 

sorry bout that.

 

did you get any wheelspin???

 

We ran a few times. all times and speeds were close to the above.

 

I'll put it into perspective for you using my own personal times which I have in a spreadsheet.

When I was stock I was running consistent 9.6@73.5 1/8th miles which translate into 14.8-14.9 @ 93. I had a few 9.5s in there as well.

When I had just a y-pipe I was running 9.3-9.4 @ 76 1/8th which equals 14.4-14.6 @ 96 in the 1/4 mile.

Now since you are running 9.9s, you are not getting very good launches, but you have good power, as you can see you trap about the same as I did when I was stock. What I'm basically saying is that your car is capable of 9.6 or 9.5 1/8th mile times if you get the launches down.

His times indicate he is getting launches about as well as I typically do (which sucks for him since he is in a RWD car with so much more power). His car should be capable of 9.0s with a good launch. So there is nothing wrong with the numbers you gave, they just indicate that BOTH cars are not launching to their full potential.

 

well, i like knowing the problem, thanks dude. 60's are the way to tell if you are getting good launches right? They arent that varied from "normal" car to "normal" car. By normal i mean no turbo charged V8s etc...
