It has been years since I ran at a track. I drove down to Sacramento raceway in California.
I had some problems at the top end my mph is good but my times didn't show it. I think I was shifting out of my powerband. I would shift at 7400rpm.
What would be a good rpm to shift at in a stock 05 VIII MR?
2nd. Pass
Reaction: .245
60' 1.835
330' 5.373
660' 8.334
MPH 83.531
1000' 10.911
1/4 13.058
mph 108.639
I know I can't tell exactly what my power band is unless I practice. I'm not sure if we have an all wheel drive dyno up here in reno, nv if we do let me know please? I don't think the run was all that bad. The car only has a drop in filter and a HKS SSQ blow off. My fastest mph that day was 108.977. I feel I should have at least broke into 12's but just couldn't do it. Any advice; always welcome. Thanks

Sorry but I need to see a time slip to believe this. Just a tad too outrageous IMHO. If I am wrong then I will lay out the apology in advance. And then I would believe that that Drag strip needs to get its gear re-calibrated and soon.
Go to another Drag strip and post the same numbers and I will be a believer.

Here's my time slip from Jan. 14, 2007. This is with MBC and drop in filter. I also had some problems at first scanning in the time slips, so I had to use an envelope.
