Just got back from the track

[ReodDai]

Idalou Motorsports @ Idalou, TX

R/t : -.06 (damn redlight)
60' : 2.428
330 : 6.691
1/8 : 10.173 @ 70.51mph
1000 : 13.169
1/4 : 15.682 @ 90.04


Last time I went to a track(San Antonio Raceway) was 15.9 @ 88.9mph with a 2.32 60'. Couldn't get any traction here at all. However on a good note I managed to get a .021 r/t in one of my runs. Tires were at like 40psi front / 28psi rear.

your speed is good. but you times i think are kind of low for your speed. its sad, i had my tires too low and i did 15.3 but my speed was 87. and im stuck w/ those sorry times until this fall

[ReodDai]

Compared to the 16.4 98v6 and some v6 mustang with 4.10s and an intake running like 17.3s. My time is decent for the track I'm at. Still kind of annoying.

00' firebird v6 5spd
201rwhp ---- 230 rwtq


Was it hot out?
Are you at a very high elevation?

You make 30 more rwhp and rwtq than I do N/A

[ReodDai]

Wasn't scolding but it was pretty hot and we are at like 2k elevation or something idiotic like that. Its idalou were Matt from TSP runs every now and then. Traction was a mother tho I couldn't hit lower then 2.42 60ft. Which is sorry because 20rwhp, no lca/phb, worse tires I was able to cut 2.3s all day long in san antonio. I'd spin while trying to launch and if I hit the gas more then half throttle I'd never make it past the 60ft lol.

Mod on another forum said the DA was 5700ft when I ran... dunno what that means tho lol.

[12secondv6]

Oh, DA being 5700 ft explains a lot.

I was wondering why your mph was low, but basically, 5700 DA, BAD AIR

[ReodDai]

Whats DA stand for?

Air density is affected by the air pressure, temperature and humidity. The density of the air is reduced by decreased air pressure, increased temperatures and increased moisture. A reduction in air density reduces the engine horsepower, reduces aerodynamic lift and reduces aerodynamic drag.

Drag racers and engine tuners... take a look at the features in the Engine Tuner's Calculator. The engine tuner's calculator includes relative horsepower, air density, density altitude, virtual temperature, absolute pressure, vapor pressure, relative humidity and dyno correction factor.

Hope that helps

[ReodDai]

Hmm so basically my car is faster then that lol

[12secondv6]

Well, with that rwhp and rwtq I would like to say yes.

Typically, you can show a cars potential with its MPH in the 1/4

<--- 170 rwhp typically traps 93 mph w/ a best of 94

I've got a really low elevation for my track, 530 ft? But there can be a poor D/A which would affect it

You have 201 rwhp which is 31 more rwhp so I would expect you to have a better mph. When the D/A is much better I think you will be much happier

[ReodDai]

Doubt the fact my K&N is blacker then my car helped out lol. It was fun racing 98v6 about 15 times tho.

Clean that filter [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[OneQuickV6]

Yea, by the checks at midnight it finally got down to 5867feet DA. It was well over 6000+ most of the night:) Nice times Bo!

[ReodDai]

Yea I may be selling my Hpp3 here in a bit.. gonna need to talk to you about some things matt ;)
