AWDxBOOST Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 three weeks ago i ran a 14.52 @ 95, and just tonight i hit a 14.36 @ 98 with a 2.258 60', worse than the 2.170 i got when i ran the 14.52 bone stock performance wise only engine changes: avo bov silencer removed what was great was i cut out a wrx with a ecutek reflash, turboback and uppipe by .4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmundu Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Most impressive trap speeds! Are you sure you are bone stock? Seems like an awfully strong mph..... What did the car weigh? Track conditions, including weather data? Pump gas? If it really was stock, you definitely have a ringer!!!! Just get your 60' down a few tenths, and you are in the high 13's, very nice indeed!

AWDxBOOST Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 here are full times for the slip r/t .579 60' 2.258 330 6.127 1/8 9.302 mph 78.15 1000 12.046 1/4 14.361 mph 98.47 the mph is way high, when i ran my 14.5 it was at 95 now that im lookin at my slip, not at 97... all i did was take out silencer after the 14.5...it was about the same conditions...50ish degrees, track wasnt really slick, but not that tacky...not humid...93 octane still a really high trap for awd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTM 525 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Your car is making great power at 98.4mph. No doubt that good for 13's, my 14.0 was just over 97mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 a better launch will get him into the 13s eh? Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I'll bet you find that with a better launch your mph goes down similarly. In a 1/4 mile run you're testing acceleration vs. time and acceleration vs. distance. If you cover the length .2 seconds quicker, that's .2 seconds off the time the car has to accelerate, hence the lower trap. All of this is within reason of coure. You can't purposefully run a 20 second quarter mile and expect 120 mph traps as a result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWDxBOOST Posted April 19, 2005 Author Share Posted April 19, 2005 a better launch will get him into the 13s eh?

I'm gonna try and head to the track either this friday or next friday. Looking to try a few different things to see what works best.

KTM 525 Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I'll bet you find that with a better launch your mph goes down similarly. No doubt hooking gets better 60' and ET but MPH will suffer a bit. Again I have always said who cares i'll take ET over MPH anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Went to Byron, IL to Byron Dragway today. Temps were in low 40's all day. Some cars did some impressive times. Out of about 18 runs (scrap 2 because of timing errors) I got I think 3 in the 14.2 range, 4 in the 14.3 range and 4 in the 14.4 range IIRC. Never broke the 2.000 60' times but had a few rather close to it, like 2.032 and a number under 2.100. Traps of my better times were consistently at about 98-98.5mph by the latter half of the runs and finally started to get a launch rythm down. I even got one R/T down to .056, Here's what my best time looked like: R/T: 0.398 60': 2.032 330: 5.905 1/8: 9.133 MPH: 76.59 1000: 11.899 1/4: 14.236 MPH: 98.31 Two runner ups: R/T: 0.506 60': 2.060 330: 5.894 1/8: 9.094 MPH: 77.87 1000: .000 - didn't record 1/4: 14.264 MPH: 94.01 (Think I did a mis-shift into 4th on this one.) R/T: 0.127 60': 2.066 330: 5.927 1/8: 9.174 MPH: 76.35 1000: 11.947 1/4: 14.285 MPH: 98.38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUBE555 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I was probably between 3500 and 4500 for mine, the tires did chirp slightly but never any wheel hop. The drag strip is a completely different launch than a light or anything else, so hard to really negotiate without some practice IMO. Here's a vid from the event that I put together. A friend took the footage and I did a compilation of it. VIDEO It's about 30 megs IIRC and in quicktime's MOV format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHLEG Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Awesome video!!! Did I see it right...the Evo did a 12.97 at 107??? Was it stock? Why was the last run so much faster than the others? RT? Also, for your times, what mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Alex was working on the computer a little bit to tweak boost a little perhaps. Just exhaust and computer tuning I think though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver72 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I'll bet you find that with a better launch your mph goes down similarly.

If you cover the length .2 seconds quicker, that's .2 seconds off the time the car has to accelerate, hence the lower trap. All of this is within reason of coure. You can't purposefully run a 20 second quarter mile and expect 120 mph traps as a result I agree to a point. ET's and traps have A LOT to do with launches too. As you said, an intentional 20 time won't get you 120 mph traps. The key to getting the best ET and trap speeds is getting a perfect launch and shifting perfectly. In this posters case, with a better launch he'd be in the 13.9's and probably pushing 98.5+ traps speeds. I think, and it's been shown, to be the best case scenario times for a stock manual LGT sedan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Track Rebel Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I will be going for a 13.9x stock in the coming weeks. I think it can be done easily with proper tire pressures, launch technique, and a few other drag racing secrets I have up my sleeves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
