Shiv,

I can't seem to get the 0-60 on the Stage 1+ and 91 oct past a 0-60 in 4.3-4.4 seconds. Is this normal or is it a bit slow?

 

Alex,
What kind of GPS system are you using. Are you doing the full tilt drag racing launch? Your times seem pretty impressive to me.

 

im just using my HKS turbo timer. I clocked a 0-60 in 3.9, but im pretty certain that theres a 0.4-0.5 second delay since i ran a 4.5 completely stock. So i figure that means about 4.3-4.4 0-60.

As for the launch, im not completely dropping the clutch, just slipping it a little...but i get jumbled up with all the terminology. Either way its not a full tilt drag launch.

 

A full tilt drag launch is what is necessary to get the lowest possible 0-60 time. FWIW, the last Stage 1+ car that was tested by a magazine ran 0-60mph in 3.7 seconds

.... on the race gas map, running race gas and with a test pipe.

would a fuel pump help any?

 

It'd make your fueling consistently more safe, particularly at high altitudes or with bigger mods, like cams.

I'd not worry about 0-60 times with a TT/GTech/accelerometer, as the factors are not nearly as controlled. If you aren't setup with equipment for a magazine or something, it seems like a terrible waste to even try, because its difficult if not impossible to repeat, and conditions vary too much.

Do yourself a favor and go to an 1/8th mile of better yet a 1/4 mile track. Track conditions still apply, but that is a universal yardstick with very accurate timing equipment that you can measure against other cars on the same day. 0-60 is for magazines. Acceleration numbers are determined by the quality of the launch (first 60 feet) anyway.
