Clicked off a new best

Had some new bests at the track the other night, best slip looked like this
reac - .174
60ft - 2.13
330ft - 6.17
594ft - 8.90
1/8ET - 9.52
1/8MPH - 72.92
1/4ET - 14.88
1/4MPH - 92.98

This was on a pretty crappy night, DA was 6100ft and it was 33*C. The sad thing is it was bracket racing, i dialed in a 15.10 and had just blown the doors off a honda so I lifted with about 200ft left. Corrected for altitude it would have been 14.20 @ 97.4MPH. I was very happy with that run though, it was the first time Ive gotten a 14. So what does everyone think? Only mods I have are whats listed in the sig.

Check your RPO codes.

GU2 - 2.73
GU4 - 3.08
GU5 - 3.23
GU6 - 3.42
GW6 - 3.27
GM3 - 3.45
GT4 - 3.73
G80 - posi
G92 - performance

Re: Clicked off a new best

Times look good man, that should give ya more insight for your goals of a 14.0 that you have. Shouldn't be long now, good run man. I would imagine it would have been a hair better if you hadn't lifted as well....did you get knocked out that round for running so far off from your dial? Sounds like you probably might have.

Re: Clicked off a new best

no i didnt get knocked out, the honda even broke out he dialed in a 18.45 and ran 18.15. The honda didnt taste very good, i had to wash my mouth out with a 02 WS6 the next round

EDIT: i just checked the RPO's i have 3.27s with posi, whats that mean? im assuming its not true posi and is just limited slip, what is the "performance" one you mentioned?

Re: Clicked off a new best

thats the best stock gearing you can get in a thirdgen i believe, other than the 3.45 9 bolts...but yea its limited slip 3.27 gear ratio...get some 3.73's and you could knock a few more tenths off...

you beat an 02 ws6? now thats impressive..

Re: Clicked off a new best

The performance one means it's the optioned gears. Like i have stock gears that are 2.73's, but if i saw maybe GU6 and G92, then i'd know that it was given the optioned gear of 3.42. and incase you didn't know, limited-slip is a posi-unit. just different names.

Re: Clicked off a new best

well i bought the stealth ram today but its painted sunset orange and my cars black so im going to get it bead blasted before it goes on.

myshibby, i know its a posi, but its not TRUE posi. and usually when i hear posi i think more of a locker rear where both tires spin at the same rate at all times
