Weho!! 0-60 5.5
 

Hey guys I just installed my midpipe a few days ago and wanted to see what kinda gains i got with it and my canzoomer.. I just did it spur of the moment so Im sure I can do a bit better.. I dident launch very hard.. I need to find a good spot around here were I can launch good.

0-60 5.568
60ft 2.237

wow, what other mods do you have?

Why does it start half a second before 0.0? :confused:

looks like a rolling start.

GTech is bullshit. Take it out on a drag strip and post some real time slips.

+1

+2

+10^3

Without a reference WTF?

h8 2b a h8r, <3 this is lame.

Except a drag strip can't tell anyone 0-60. And when used right (which isn't that hard to do) the GTech can be VERY usefull in measuring gains and losses. :)

If you knew anything about a Gtech u would know that it very accurate. Like dmp said, a strip cant measure 0-60 times.. but i do plan on taking it to a track... and WATCH OUT.. cuz my times will reflect the same thing. only mods are CZ & B&B mid pipe. and my mad driving skills.. LOL I guess the Gtech had a 12" roll out it says.. I dont know if i can change that. Ill look in the manual and see what/how to change it.. any ways I feel a big diferance.. I went to the dealer and drove a stock one again.. dosent feel nearly as responsive..

Sorry, but I was tired.
Still, posting one graph does nothing for us data junkies. First of all, what are we to compare your time to? Obviously, we cant compare it to historical controls cause you have a 12' roll out which cuts off 0.4 secs. Second, "best runs", which are by definition outliers, are worthless, ego-pumping, replacements for averages (the > the n the better.) Read the recent article in C&D for a good example on comparing these gtech thingys.
I personally would be excited to see data suggesting a high-flow cat or mid pipe making the 8 faster as I have resently desided to pass on the Greddy turbo and save for a custom turbo or sfr with an interceptor, which can be tuned with the hi flow cat.
I also would recommend the autometer computer. it has 3 orthogonal accelerometers to eliminate squat error.

no
hahahhahahahahhahahahahhaa

Disclaimer: no comment on the original 0-60 post

Actually a true data junkie wouldn't say that a data point is an "outlier" just because it's the best of a group...that's not the way outliers should be determined.

funny, nobody was yelling outlier in PoLaK's 1/4 mile thread ;)


C&D performance meter test

I am suggesting that we can not determine one way of the other if it is an outlier or not. Where is the rest of the n?

Are you questioning my data junkyness? How dare you.

THat is because 1) I didn't post in that thread, 2) it was done on the strip; the gold standard IMO and 3) it was a reasonable time (not 0.4 sec quicker to 60 than any reliable data that I have seen to date.) If it was an outlier it was one only in PoLaK reaction time, not in the the sence that the 8 could not perform that time.

an outlier is an outlier, it has nothing to do with the validity, just the consistency

What consistency? Last time I checked the formula for variance of a finite population required at least an n of 2!

Do you actually think you're the first person in two years to use a midpipe with Canzoomer or something? :rolleyes: Believe whatever you want to believe...I know your Gtech is wrong. When you can post a timeslip of your car reflecting its 5.5 0-60 bs with a 1/4 mile ET in the low 14s, only then will I bow down to you and insist I'm not worthy.

Why do you have your 8's weight set at 3400 lb? Isn't it around 3040 give or take 50 lb depending on options?

somebody has to drive it to generate results and it really depends on the options, fuel tank level, and other accessories

so if he made two runs with similar numbers you'd have no beef?

not to mention that the 1/4 mile time I brought up was never equaled by that driver in that same mod level

oh right, it can't be true based on the sole fact that a CZ unit is being used... :rolleyes:

I'm pretty sure that's not what he was saying. One run won't tell you anything about your driving skills or how fast your car is. Like others said, there needs to be a bigger sample space. If that is the time you continually get, that's great, but I doubt the ability of the gtech to give great accuracy. Now, I do like the gtech because it is a great way to test befores and afters while modding. It will give you a good idea of what you gained in reality, though the numbers might not be completely correct.

about my mad driving skills..that was a joke. If you dident catch he "LOL" after it. I dident realize the 12" rollout untill it was menioned to me.. Whopdy do so it wasent a 5.5.. but damn some of you people get in a tiff over some of the smallest things. ANYWAYS.. I WAS under the impression that the Gtech was very accurate. I guess others think not. I will correct that if i find ou how and redo the run myself with the Gtech. a well as take my car to the track and get a few runs in so that i know that I have "acurate" informtion. and will post it. I dont know what it wll be..Bu hopfully it will enough to make some hotheaded people chill out. ;)
