TIMES IN (NEW BEST) !!!! whats your guesses.........

[BLLDOGG]

....for my track run tomorrow night? if i run the car, this will be the weather hopefully. everything is better than my first/last time at the track, other than the humitity, not sure what it was last time. last time, i ran a 15.3 @87mph w/ a 2.1 60ft with just a flow muffler. going to running the same low tread tires with less tread than last time. Austin SSRA, whisper lid, crapy dirty filter,headers and y-pipe, 3" catco cat, 3" cutout, s-pipe/i-pipe/overaxle pipe all three inches. flow master muffler with duals. im going to run twice. with cutout open and with it closed. also, i have an exhaust leak where my egr tube meets the header :mad: . also i have MSDs but that probably doesnt matter. what do you guys think i'll do. im hoping for atleast a 15.1xx

15.245, take out the air filter during runs

[BLLDOGG]

take out the filter huh? i'll just have to do that. i pulled up the link and its right

[navyblue2000]

if you pull the filter you better drive around for a while before hand....
the MAF sensor does NOT like sudden increases in airflow and especially turbulence..

[BLLDOGG]

well im sure i'll be in line around an hour. is that long enough?

[BLLDOGG]

come on guys. you dont even think i'll get 15.1xx? SOMP is an accurate test but is flat out hauling ***. i dont like how the power vand moved up though. it makes my car feel less powerful when taking off. do you guys think my exhaust leak will affect anything?

[WickEdSix9838]

the leak wont affect anything and even though it feels like a turd down low you'll run quicker cuz most of your runs are made in higher RPM's...i dont think you'll run a 15.1 though cuz its summertime, maybe a 15.2....goodluck

[BLLDOGG]

did you even look how cold its going to be? i know it gains up top. it hauls ****ing *** up top. its awsome. its the main event night for the months so i hope they prep the track good. besides, i got the 15.3 in hotter weather. im hoping it will be a good night.

I'm gonna say 15.0something.. Try to launch at 2 grand to get up in the powerband quicker. Good luck. Those temps. look good for racing.. :cool: btw, at least knock the dirt out of that air filter (if your not going to clean or change it) ;)

thanks for the advice. when i was at the track the first time, timbo told me to stall at 1500 and it worked. i went from consistant 2.2s to 2.1s. i'll try it with my cutout closed so just incase, i dont ruin a good run when i open it. ;) about the filter, unfortunatly i dont have the money to replace it. i'll try to hit it a few times

I hope you get a great time, but I think realisticaly probably 15.2
When you get to the track take out the air filter. I do that all the time and I have seen a .02 to .05 sec drop in my ET.

what will the computer do to the engine if it does sense the increase in airflow?

[BLLDOGG]

well, i just looked at th updated weather and the humidity still sucks. :( but its still going to be cold. decisions decisions

Listen to the force Luke, Let go Luke,

[1DangerousV6]
