My 1/4 mile times
Made three passes, 17.0, 16.9, and 16.8. I got a 17.0 when the car was bone stock, now with a 5sp, stage 2 clutch, ecutune stage 1 chip and big heavy 18" wheels I got a couple tenths quicker. Woohoo. Sure was fun watching everybody else run 9's - 12's all day.

I grabbed a 15.74 last weekend! I'm sure there was more in there, but I didn't want to thrash the car too hard. I followed up with a pair of 15.9x's, trying some different techniques.

I'm thinking there must be something going on with your car....no way you should be going that slow with a 5spd and the stg 1 chip. What was your trap speed?

Why, he'll say the same thing. That's why so many dinosaurs wear their chains below the mullet at drag strips.
Trap speed does seem astronomically low, then again we run a 14.2 in the very low 90s. Last edited by benebob; 09-30-2007 at 08:17 PM. |

At least, I would hope so... Otherwise I'll have a very difficult time spending the kind of money it is on a 5spd swap to get the same performance.

I was redlining on the 17.0 and shortshifting on the quicker times.. I seem to be losing power up top. That and I have a violent hesitation sometimes. Laziness is keeping me from getting it all checked out.

I ran a 15.9 my first time at the strip... Bone stock, bad wheel bearings and bad alignment at the time. This was about two years back.

Last month I ran a 16.1 @ 85. All I had was a cone filter and rx-7 rims with 245 tires. I think the 245's actually hurt my 60' time though, as they were only around 2.4 seconds... I suspect with a 225 I could have had around 2.3 with the light rims.

um Ben... u know what makes a 5mt faster...
U guys need to start using ur 5mt to ur advantage and getting sick launches with wrist snapping shifts or not even bother drag racing unless you are there for fun. Ricochet... you should not be drag racing with a CEL while ur car feels like it is struggling Tom |

I do not doubt it and find this to be the most interesting evidence recorded.
