New Best ET and Trap MPH for 1/4 mile NED

Here is my best ET for last night at New England Dragway. I have compared it to my 2nd best time for comparison purposes so I may get some meaningful feedback.

9/4/07 8/22/07 Change

1/4 ET 11.981 12.086 (.105)
60' 1.852 1.780 .0782
1/8 ET 7.753 7.781 (.028)
1/8 MPH 91.88 90.23 1.65
1/4 MPH 117.07 114.91 2.16


Increase MPH
from 1/8-1/4 25.19 24.68 .051

DA 194 102

My best trap of the night was 117.29 with a 12.28.......

Well, my goal this year was to break 12 seconds which was accomplished last night. To be honest, I was expecting an 11.8 run but with a better 60' time, I will get there. My burnouts last night were subpar with ESP off. They only lasted about 3 seconds and the upshifting would kill the burnout. I am going to experiment and burnout in DYNO mode. Never really cooked my tires last night so I can improve a lot on my 60' times although a 1.852 ain't too shabby......

You should burn out in M1 so the car will not upshift. You running street tires?

Thank you kindly for posting DA!! Awesome

Good runs congrats.
Are you pre-loading the converter or just rolling on the throttle when you launch. If you are running a drag-radial I would recommend dyno mode.

117's with headers and TB and NO Ecu flash.


3 mph improvement is very good.

With pullies and ECU, you will be a Stage 3?

you will need the intercooler mod to a 4 .. I think.


very nice!!

Hey RFLOW,

Thanks for the comment.....No preload.....Don't want to bog down the launch. I roll the throttle to the floor within a second.......Ethan wanted me to mash the throttle but I could not get my RA1's to cook up very well last night, so I didn't. I may try mashing only if I can cook up the tires I hooked up great when I did my 1.85 60'. It was a roll to the floor with my best burnout of the night.

Thanks

11 sec run with good air,I told you so!

Now just wait till it cools off even more and you can get the car to hook on some DR's.
