    New Times: 16.4 with 3.4L Please respond.

    Please see First run 16.8 @ 79MPH

    r/t .225
    60' 2.407- NO TRACTION!!
    330' 6.834
    1/8th 10.508
    mph 67.28
    1000 13.694
    1/4 16.456
    mph 81.75

    Temp 65

    When I submit my timeslip, do I submit my BEST of everything from multiple timeslips, or do I submit whatever is on my best ET run?

    I cannot launch my car. I got one good launch ( 2.244 60', but then I accidently shifted into neutral and over revved the engine :mad: I probably would have had a 16.2 or 16.1 if I wouldn't have messed up. I tried 9 times but I only got it right once. Last time I had all that extra weight back there and I didn't have any traction problems.
    This time I had 1/2 gas, removed back seats and passenger seat, jack and spare, and removed the air box. I also ran seafoam through and had a 3inch cat and vette servo installed. I'm happy with my times I just wish I could have got a better 60'time, which would have equaled 16.2 or better, I know. On a side note, I also tried removing the entire air intake at the 90 degree bend where the IAT sensor is, and I ran 16.7, so go figure. ;) Ran 16.6 with air filter installed, so I guess removing air filter takes off .2 and weight reduction takes off .2.

    Do it on your best ET...


    but honestly if you I woudl go out next week or the week after and try again, might be able to get a nice 16.2 or so lower just getting a better 60'

    No need to submit a timeslip every 2 weeks if you are confident you will beat it soon [img]smile.gif[/img]

      3" pipes and a high flow cat would be pretty cheap and they would help your trap speeds.

        I was able to hit 16.1 with only CAI and an 80 series flowmaster. Hold out with the time slip because I know you can do better with your mods. BTW I took out all the extra weight, back seats, passenger seat, spare tire, and jack. But my tire pressure was fuged up. 30psi in the front and 26psi in the back. I know I could have hit 16.0. This was my second time at the track also. it only gets better with practice. How many times you been to the track? Keep practicing.

          I just don't see how that's possible?? Is elevation a big issue? I race in Memphis, TN. I have been to track twice, but really with an auto the only variable in your times is your launch so even if I got a 2.1 that's so only a 16.1 or so with all my mods. What's up?? Do you think maybe I'm getting false knock= timing retard??? FYI, a 2001 Camaro SS with modified exhaust ran 13.3 and an 2004 Acura RSX Type S with a stick and 2.0 VTECH ran 15.9 if that helps.

            Elevation may have something to do with it. The track I was at was real close to sea level. I beleive a lot of it has to do with spinning and your 60 time. Are you powerbraking? If so what RPM? What tires are you running? Size? Anybody else?

                15.9 and 15.1 is .8 difference so subtract .8 from 16.4 and bang, 15.6.... [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img] . Is this bad auto math?

                    Slap a bigger I-pipe and you will be in the 15s with ease...

                    but 16.1 with a muffler, stock i-pipe and CAI, I only mustered I think a 16.6-16.8 with a setup like that. Maybe ya got a factory freak.
