Default New personnal BEST with a twist

OK, it's been 4+ loooong years since I've been ready to hit the 1320 and last Fridaynight broke the streak. I really wasn't prepared to go, but with the weather being soooo nice, I decided to go at the last minute. Figured what the hell, lets get some base level tuning done.

Old personal best:

On my old GT3076/7cm and previous exhaust/FMIC/manifold set-up
11.471 @ 122.66 29-30psi on C16


New personal best:

Current status of car:
11.45 @ 125.08 22psi on 93 octane pump gas

Time slip:
60ft - 1.72
1/8th 7.47 @ 97.94mph
1/4 11.452 @ 125.08mph


This was in full street trim, 7/8 tank of fuel, my heavy *** sub cabinet in the back, just like I drive everyday, all 3500lbs of it. Even drove home grinning bigtime with the cruise engaged and those subs pumping away.

What I'm really happy about is the fact that once I get some C16 or VP Import in the tank and turn it up into the mid 30psi range, there's no reason why it shouldn't bust some very respectable 10's. Had I been able to get a few more runs in, I think it would have went faster with more boost on the 93 octane as the tune was looking really good and getting better with each pass. Unfortunately there were so many cars there due to the great weather I only got 3 passes.

Opinions, comments are welcome. [/align]

Using theTrap Speed method based on the weight of the car, 3500lbs(The formula is: hp = weight * (speed / 234)3 ), I come up with 535 horsepower at the wheels. This is only a calculation though, so take it for what it's worth. But it should be really close.

That is a slightly high guess I think. I woulb assume you to be around the 475 mark easy though , my judging is based on Evos though. Mainly a 500HP Evo will get you around 11.2 or 11.1. then again the few extra LBS may make up for the small difference.


Either way that is some awsome times. My 50trim should be in that range on Meth or c16 so that on straight pump is just sick

Using the ET method, I come up with 461 horsepower
Using the Speed method, I come up with 535 horsepower

It's probably somewhere in between those numbers. I don't abuse my car that hard off the line by slipping the clutch out a little, so the E.T. number is low. If I hammered it with no regard for parts breakage, I could probably knock 2 tenths off the E.T.
