Is this a good time for the mods? What should I expect to run in the 1/4 mile? Is my car performing to the mods listed in my signature?

*Edited*BTW I was running 23-24psi...

I ran my friends Porshe Carrera S, I was a little worried because he talked up his car a lot.

Thanks in advance,

your 60' time is pretty good

 

Thank you the ACT 2900 is an awesome clutch!!!

To answer your 3 questions per your request:

1) No.
2) With a 7.82@84, I'd expect a 12.3
3) In my opinion, no, but until you get to a 1/4-mile track, you won't know for sure. I hit 84mph when I was stock + just an SAFC on 93oct and 21psi, but my ET was only 8.17 on a 1.76 60'. Even if you give me a 1.66 60' on that run, it would have been no better than an 8.0x. You are .2 quicker, but with a low mph. I think that 1/8th-mile tracks are hard to use as a gauge, because the traps can get messed up. I think your real trap would be around 88 on a regular track.

Great driving, obviously, but the mph is very low. You should expect no less than 90mph in the 1/8th with cams and meth at 24psi. You can look at my timeslips to see my mphs, but without cams. Our gearing is different, too, so I shift to 4th way before the 1/8th-mile, which can cause the splits to look different.

I don't think you should have that estimate in your sig that says "12.0-12.3." My 12.26 was with a 7.76@88.3, so you might do a mid 12.3, but definitely nowhere near a 12.0.

 

Thanks for checking this out and giving an honest opinion! Yeah, I was very sceptical about the trap speed myself! It didn't make sense. When I ran 8.2 there before I trapped 89mph now I am in the 84mph category on a 7.8?!?!

In 1st gear I don't hit more than 21.9psi, 2nd 22.9 and 3rd gets to 24psi. I think that I am at the threshhold of my little 9.8T turbo. Thanks for the advice. I plan on making a trip to Montgomery Alabama which is home of the nearest 1/4 mile track to me. I really want to see what she will do. I agree that with all things equal that run should have ended up being a 12.3 or so. My goal on this set-up is to try and break into the high/high 11.999's.

True the 5-speed gearing is definately a little different. I think next time I am going to run 3rd to red-line to see how that changes things and then try maybe shifting to 4th early and see how much the Mph goes up.

Thanks again,

Where were you shifting on that run? Your mph is way low for cams and alky.

 

I was shifting at 7300-7400 RPMs.

good job! We will see you soon in the 12.2-12.3 range

 

Nice run Nate. You got in the sevens, and busted out a GREAT 60ft. I need to get out there and see what the flash did for me. Maybe this weekend.

 

Awesome!!! Let me know, I might be game to head back to the track.

Thanks!!!

Your car can do what his did without the alcohol injection. You can even get another 0.2-3 by adding a 10.5 HS and running %100 methanol 25 psi.

Nevertheless, 7.8 is really good I think for a 9.8

 

Thats right 1/8th mi traps vary significantly especially with a 5 speed. You think that trap doesn't make sense, I hit 87 mph with a 8.9 ET, I spun shifted early and was in forth 30 yards before the gate.

 

Thanks, I would love to add the 10.5 hotside/ Ported & Polished Stock Header/ Ebay 02 housing/ AMS intercooler and Rear Trailing Arm Delrin Bushings.

Beyond that the Cusco rear strut bar/ Cusco front sway bar and Perrin Rear Sway bar w/ endlinks would make it one complete package.

While I am dreaming I would love a front Quaife LSD.

F*ck it just get a GT35R instead
