2nd and last Run by myself

8.143
84.651 MPH
1.828 60'
.356 Reaction

Both runs with HPPIII Power Tuning did not get chance to run without, started raining right after I got it programmed back to stock. Here is my mods...........

Is that on a G=tech? What are your 1/4 mile times? I have pretty much the same as you except the Stall and I haven't ran faster than an 8.7 I think so I'd say your times are damn good.

No this is at the track, no GTech here..... Sorry there is no 1/4 track here, I was wondering what this would equate to in 1/4 though.

My local track doesn't give 1/8 mph's, but when I run an 8.1 with a 1.8x short time I usually run about a 12.5-7 in an M6 heads/cam LT1 car.

I been collecting some data from other people's runs for a bit now and the average for that 1/8 mi. run equates to about 12.71 @ 106.29 w/o wifey and w/her is about 13.18 @ 103.99.

just a guess, I can always use more info to make better guesses.

Your reaction times are great, what kind of tires are you runnin to get a 1.828 60'? I can't even get a 2.1 with my street tires but I have the M6. You must be good at launching that A4 cuz you have some great times all the way from reaction to 60' to the 1/8th, with some cool weather you can probably get a 8.0xx

Nice times, you should be easily into the 12.7-12.8 range, probably a little quicker. With better weather, you could possibly see low 12s.

A .3xx R/T is a red light, even on a pro tree.

Some trees are set up so that a .000 is a perfect reaction time.

Erik is right- most trees are set up for a .500 perfect light. The tree actually starts timing when the last amber is turned on, then .500 of a second later, the green comes on. On a few trees however, the timers don't start 'till the green is shining, hence a .000 perfect light. So, yeah, a .3xx light is either REAL early (red on a .500 tree), or REAL late on a .000 tree (about like a .8xx on a .500 tree). Not flaming, just informing. Everybody learns something new everyday.

Usually when I run a 8.1 in the 1/8, i'm in the mid- to high 12's.
