With new plugs, wires, O2 sensors and a MadZ82 tune, I went from this…

60’………. 2.256
330’………6.270
1/8……….9.490 @ 77.15
1000........12.225
1/4…...…14.522 @ 98.08
Air temp = mid-seventies

To this…

60’………. 2.096
330’………5.829
1/8……….8.867 @ 81.70
1000........11.459
1/4…...…13.659 @ 101.32
Air temp = mid-fifties

I’m sure the cold air played a big role, but an .863 second improvement???!!!

I’m too lazy to look up my receipts, but I figure the PCM tune, plugs wires and sensors cost me about $275 total – plus a weekend in the garage. Time and money well spent.

Too bad it’s time to put it away for the winter.

Just wait until you actually hook that thing!

 

Very impressive, it goes to show how much a good engine tune and PCM tune can do for a car.

 

thats what i ran with similar mods about 5 years ago

 

Well, let's be a little more accurate.

You had a 0.16 sec improvement in your 60' with the latest run. That in itself will gain you close to 0.3 seconds improvement at the 1/4 mile mark. The colder weather itself is good for at least 1 mph improvement and 0.2 sec also.

Add those up, and it looks like you gained more like 0.363 seconds, and 2 mph taking into account your better launch and better weather. Gaining 2 mph isn't bad though. It's roughly 15-20 rwhp, which I might expect from the mods you did.

I was gonna say the SAME thing!!

 

[QUOTE=stereomandan]Well, let's be a little more accurate.

Well, my orignal statement of picking 8/10s and 3 MPH for $275 is not really inaccurate. Maybe a little misleading -- but it got your attention didn't it?

Finn.

PS: Don't be offended -- I'm just having a little fun.

... i hate you right now
only timeslip i could find of mine.. (and thats cause i posted it here lol)

R/T .642
60 2.123
330 5.883
594 8.406
1/8 8.979
mph 78.65

wander if the new 02s im getting will help me that much... and im doin opti/plugs/wires in a few weeks too

nice times, just wanted to give ya a little somethin to compare to, mods in sig *sigh*

 

good runs man, that is better than my last time at the track with a 13.9 @ 99 mph, i lost 3 tenths and 3 mph over my previous time

 

So last night at the track i went

2.23 60ft
9.4 @ 76

Then I took a **** and went
1.96 60ft
8.51@84.7


Man I never knew taking a **** meant 9 tenths in the 1/8th!!

 

good times, but seem a little "slow" for the first times. 14.5 is not exactly great. When mine was stockish, it ran a 13.7 at 102. That was with a cut-out only.

 

Temp has a lot to do with it. In hot weather, my car (stock, full weight),would only do 14.4@98 with a 2.2 60' and my car has always been in very good running condition.

Nice gains, I picked up .4 and 4mph in the 1/8 with my MAC mids.

 

O2 sensors don't affect WOT.
