Canzoomer ran a 13.78 s 1/4 mile, timed with a GTech Pro Comp. That should equate to roughly a 0-60 MPH in around 5.4 seconds. Yeah yeah, I know, it was "just" a GTech, but it's the closest thing to "real" numbers we have right now.

NECurve

:D

Omicron-

Do you know what the mph were at the end of that 1/4 run?

canzoomer

13.78 at 163.51kmh, or 101.6mph.

Before we get too excited, some facts:

NOT stock wheels and tires.

17" wheels with Nokian WR low profile winter all season tires.
They are soft and sticky, although it was pretty cold out that day. +6C or 43F.

I think the 17" wheels make a pretty big difference in the 1/4.
With the low profile tires that is a 5% shorter gear ratio.
I suspect that accounts for probably .4 seconds of my improvement.
But, for comparison, same setup, Stage1 turned OFF I got 14.57 on best run that day.
So, the net gain was .79 seconds.

ASSUMING I got as good quality on both runs, hookup, slip, clutch, response times, etc.

My runs in each condition varied about .5 seconds from worst to best, so i am not very consistent.

I did 4 runs stock and 5 with the Stage1 turned on.


I am NOT a professional drag racer!

So you got 13.78 with the GTech sounds alot better than 14's

Maurice, can you tell us how you launched to get that time? Clutch drop at X RPM, clutch slip at X RPM, what?

canzoomer

Drops at 3,500rpm, anything higher just made tons of wheelspin and i do not want to join Judge Ito in the blown tranny class.

Slipped clutch slightly, at launch, and at 1st/2nd shift up to 4500rpm.
