my 1/4 mile progress

zinsavage123 · October 22nd, 2011, 05:06 PM

well just got back from cecil today I shouldnt even have ran cause it was that mandra event bs and I only got one pass in. My best before today was a 13.7@102mph. I went back with a dirtydog built 4r70w trans, 3800 10" stall and nitto 555r dr's, here is my new times, I should be better than this, but my burnout wasnt the greatest even though it did hook no prob. As well as im mad at myself cause I left at idle everyone told me I shoulda brought the rpm's up especially having a higher stall? you guys think I should be quicker? wonder what went wrong?? I left out too I am hearing some buzzing/something loose or broke type sound in the rear at 2-2.5krpm's so who knows if my gears are messed up I gotta get that checked out as well.

i wouldn't leave at idle.

i personally think you'll have better times footbraking the car to 2-2500K or as high as you can without spinning the tires. you'll just have to experiment some. i've found my best times come from stalling it as high as i can without spinning the tires which is just under 2500rpms

1/8th time is good compared to other auto's I have seen

69fastback · October 29th, 2011, 10:19 AM

You need to flash the converter. Your ET seems about right for the trap.

mrbigjeep · October 29th, 2011, 02:41 PM

flashing the converter has never done anything for me

zinsavage123 · October 29th, 2011, 06:09 PM

yeah sadly my best times are leaving right from idle?

Dirtyd0g · November 3rd, 2011, 06:26 PM

You need to flash it with that converter but don't leave dead off idle. Keep the rpms up a little just not as high as you can get. .3 is actually dissapointing to me as every one I have ever test got at least .5 gain, .8 or more is possible.
I would try a few different things but somewhere between 900 and 1600 rpms should work best.

Everybody has been there and there are more than 1 way to do it. Practice practice practice.

zinsavage123 · November 5th, 2011, 01:42 AM

well this is the 2nd weekend I been running horrible 13.6'7's8'ss I was 13.4's a few weeks ago I went to cecil tonight heated the hell out my radials and almost crashed in a wall lmao. Is this weather being so cold bad for 1/4 times? cause ever since it got cold my 60' been off and I been overall .2-.4 slower??? wtf? some say this air is to dense and geuss radials dont hook in this weather??

mrbigjeep · November 5th, 2011, 02:15 AM

too dense? more dense is good. it means more molecules...its just more air...which is good.

thats why cars are slower in higher elevation where the air is less dense

hmm well I wish I knew suddenly why it got colder my times suck then again radials dont do well in cold weather do they? I cut 1.8 60' in warm now its back too 2.0's WITH RADIALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BaznastyDave · November 5th, 2011, 02:25 AM

Are you running it at night? If so its probably just the dew/moistire in the air making the track slicker after dark. Try running during the day

yeah actually my best 1/4(13.4) is during semi warm daytime. these past two weekends going at night been bad dude. would it really affect it a couple tenths? cause its just str8 cold in md right now. not really muggy/moist or nothing??

mrbigjeep · November 5th, 2011, 03:01 AM

too cold and the track gets too hard to hook...

Orange2V · November 6th, 2011, 08:41 PM

Seems traction is the issue.

Cold air = more power.
Cold track = less traction.
More power and less traction = slower ET.
