JB4 1/4 mile time update
11.4 is movin.. congrats
That time and trap are very impressive. Congrats!
Yes, Best is around 3.35, average is 3.4.

Yes, the colder the intake air to the turbo, the more power you will get. The colder the air, the denser it is. This increased density of air leads to more fuel-air mixture and overall increased power. The car will be more power efficient the colder the ambient air. It will be less fuel efficient though, as the volume of fuel injected goes up to match the increased air density. Given the level of boost you are running, once you are getting below 0 C, you might be seeing less power because you are leaning out past the point where the car can keep up with the air-fuel target and it reduces power to compensate. In theory, you if you had sufficient fuel injection capacity, you could steadily make more power until the oxygen started to condense out (-183 C). Turbo cars just like cold air, and in Canada you have plenty of that in the winter, lol.

What fuel are you running? I assume you havent installed the green plug for extra fueling. A leaned out boosted motor can be very risky..
Pretty impressive trap speed

Again, very impressive Munis.
) and managed to post a 3.66 before it started raining.It's getting too cold and wet now so will have to wait until the spring to try and better it and hopefully find a stretch of road to do the 1/4 without endangering anyone.
For now I will blame the extra heft of my coupe for the .3 second deficit

Did he give an ETA?
May be @Guardian VA can explain this better, but a member here named 18Bora found out the C43 with JB dynos really low which does not match ET and trap speed seen on the track. A reason (my best guess) for that is that the airflow numbers on the dyno (often dependent on the cooling fan ahead) does not correlate with the airflow vs boost table in the ECU. So the ECU pulls back timing significantly on the noddy for cars with JB. The numbers align when the cars are running on the road, so the ECU gives you almost full power.
As far as the dyno thing...could be any number of reasons. 18bora may have been on a Mustang Dyno, which usually puts out numbers lower than any other dyno make/model (usually around 10-15% lower than Dynojet, which is what BMS has in-house). Even if it is on a Dynojet, different models may be load based vs inertia based, which means the car on the dyno may not actually be seeing the same engine load as when it is on the street accelerating. Plus, dyno runs for a chart are done in a single gear usually, so you are only getting a "snapshot" of power at a set load range, rather than across multiple gears (and therefore varying load) as in a 1/4 mile run.
Mid 11's with a trap of 122mph is damn good tho!
