Blackbenz - showing the sc63 how it is done? That is a shot across the bow so I will bite. I ran 10.8 first time out in 5,000+ DA and while I take nothing away from Dodgers great runs, he did so in 1,000 - DA so these times would have been expected.
Do give you an idea of how important air is, here is an idea what my run would have converted to.

I ran a 10.62 @ 136 in a +2000 DA in a 4104 lbs car. I have heard that Mikse car weighs in at about 3500 pounds in race trim. You're an intelligent person please do the math. So while even though my car is making quite a bit more power there is absolutely nothing about these runs that we can compare. I HIGHLY doubt Mike would want to line up with me for money on the same track on the same day...but maybe I'm wrong.
FYI my 10.6 corrected down to a 10.38 (sea level) I wonder what it would factor using yesterdays DA at MIR 10.20 maybe???????
I said it on the other board but I will say it here, AMAZING TIMES Mike, Great job, now bolt on a Weistec and you will not only be king of the 63s but king of the MBs.

Dodger - first off good job.

Actually Ahmad, although I have already given Mike Mad Props on another board and these times are absolutely AMAZING he didn't show me anything.

Both of you guys have what is classified as "Extensively Modified Supercharged and Turbocharged Engines" Please use those correction factors when correcting. You are both correcting for NA engines. Not the case.

Mike, I will ask you straight out, would you line up with Earl or I yesterday for even $100 had either one of our cars been there?
Earl, I think technically if I recall, the DA was only +4800 when we ran our side by side 10.8s LOL. That being said,Mike ran this time and nobody can take that away from him, we could have been at the event yesterday so it is our loss that we didn't take advantage of those conditions. I get pissed when people try to discredit our times or rain on or parades so let's not do the same to Mike. I'm taking the high road but I had to chime in on Ahmads comment because it was way out of line, invalid and inaccurate.

What does it correct to factoring yesterdays -1200 DA at MIR? Is there a way to calculate thate? Just curious now that we're on the topic.

Because that's what corrected figures people were throwing around on BB when we ran. No biggie, like I said was just for sake of conversation. I don't want to derail this thread, this is about Dodger/Mike not Earl and I. Dodger is making it to Bradenton in Jan/Feb so I'm sure there will be plenty of ecampbell/dodger/Dads/Jrcart threads then.

I was just quoting a figure that other quoted back when I ran the time, I hardly ever look at corrected numbers but in this conversation I thought it might be useful to look at corrected numbers.

You guys still correct lower. No question both of you are quicker. In Neg DA like his probably a 10.3 uncorrected. VERY impressive considering you weight close to 400lb's more.

It corrects the same way jrcart. You plug in the numbers and it corrects it haha. I'm just trying to motivate you guys to get out there and make some good passes! Relax. No doubt your cars are CAPABLE of much more. You don't have to teach me about the air, I've done my fair share of racing as jrcart already knows... ricer hoopty powa! LOL.

Here is my thought. Lets see if logistically we can get everyone together say this first week of March in Florida....we have a private rental and one of the tracks and go have fun and a big party afterwards.

No, I meant calculate my 10.62 that I ran in a +1800 to the -1200 they ran in yesterday.

You guys are motivating me to get back in the game. I can get MIR any time they aren't running an event so if you want me to set something up its just a call away.Btw, with some more seat time in Mikes car I'm pretty sure I can turn a 10.5X... I mean I did cut a 1.55 60' but had the car in comfort
If he's down we can try to make it happen soon

Woah don't get carried away, the record time was run at about -866 DA NOT -1200. Your sig says 10.639 but if you ran 10.62 in +1800 it corrects to 10.547 in a SC car. Mikes car corrects to 10.736 Was it worth $400k?
Give me the exact details on both runs and I will get both DA corrected accurately

If my hoopty is ready by March can I join in? You guys are motivating me to get back in the game. I can get MIR any time they aren't running an event so if you want me to set something up its just a call away.
Btw, with some more seat time in Mikes car I'm pretty sure I can turn a 10.5X... I mean I did cut a 1.55 60' but had the car in comfort If he's down we can try to make it happen soon

Back to Jim's car...
Jim. you just correct to zero. You don't correct to -866 that was run for his best time. Neg DA you can just assume. There is no calculator I know of that does that.
Your car in 0 DA at your best time would correct to 10.546 @ 135.845 MPH.
You cant go back the same conditions because as you can see a NA engine suffers a much higher correct than a SC or Turbo. So Mikes car correct by about a 3/4 a 10th. A SC or Turbo would only correct a 1/4 a tenth in those conditions. So pretty much take your time. Factor it to zero and then shave about 1/4 to 1/2 a 10th. You would run about a 10.4XX in -866 DA.
Now that's some good ole bench racing. Who knows how your tune or your SC will perform at sea level and in cold temps. The only way to know is to do it. Everything else is BS.

With that kind of money I'd get a UGR or Alpha 12 and wax that CLK all day long.
It has a 10.5 in it for sure. Excellent driving Ahmad. Get another rental going I will be there. Just need enough lead time.
