Hey Guys.

I have only made 2 passes at the track and thy werent good. The best was a 14.2 at 101.9 with A 2.4 60FT. I am Planning on buying some DR's for soem rims I have sitting around..

By Pulling a 1.9 - 2.0 60FT what should my E.T. drop to?? I am hoping for at least a mid 13. My car dynoed 270RWHP and 330+rwtq? Insight appreciated so I can figure out what to do before my Grudge match on Sept 6th.

Do you have an A4 or an M6? Need to know what you have before you can get any good advise.

 

Sticky tires alone will not take you from 14.2 to mid 13's. A CAI along with the tires might get you to 13.8, but I think that's stretching it a bit.

 

Well I guess posting moda would help :P It was late when I first posted. I have a suncoast functional ram air hood and box, 85mm ZO6 MAF, TB airfoil ( it was free), hooker shorties (coated), 3 inch y pipe, 3 inch hi flo cat, 3 inch american thunder exhaust with a cutout, a 3200 stall with 2.1 stator and a shift kit, LCA'S, SFC'S.

I ran the 14.2 and it shifted so hard that it broke loose again and I let off and had to get back in it and still trapped 101.9. I have heard the basic rule is .1 on the line is .15-.2 at the top???? My buddy dynoed 15rwhp less and 30-40rwtq less than i have and he runs a 13.8. Another freind with a stall and DR's runs 12.7 with them and more like 13.4 without them, so what do you guys think?

I was hoping low 13's when I put the stall in and I think it should still be possible just highly unlikely.. Obviously I cant drive :P

The first pass was a sideways 15.4 at 99 with a 2.6 60 so only .2's different than my 14.2 in the 60 foot and I dropped a whopping 1.2

I shouldnt even be posting that horrible time but I want the truth dammit!!! Besides the obvious " You cant drive Dude"

Thanks I know

Shawn

Thanks

Another thing is practice, you have to learn what works best for you.

Good Luck.

 

First off......Nice times. Looking at your times seems to support the fact that .1 in the 60 foot can equal between .15-.2 up top. Good Stuff

Many factors can affect your ET. On a given day, weather can swallow up several tenths regardless of other factors. The track, how you stage, and countless details make ET prediction a very inexact and difficult art form. The only way to really be able to venture an intelligent guess is to have all the facts.

I don't mind a good guess once in awhile, but without all the facts my guess isn't worth the time it takes to type it.
