Tell me if I'm doing good or not Just got back from running the Zed (2002 Z28 A4) at River City Raceway in San Antonio. Weather was really cool, 58* temps (COLD breeze) and the track was hooking up. I was told the elevation is "not more than 300ft" but I'm not for sure.
Anywayz, due to the massive amount of cars here for the Clash of the Titans, I only got 3 runs in. Here's how they went:
1.75......7.91@86.63......12.45@108.01
1.74......7.90@86.43......12.49@107.09
1.74......7.91@86.43......12.48@107.11
The 2nd and third run were made with the car cooled all the way down....maybe too much cause the tranny didn't shift in time for the 2-3 shift and bumped the limiter. Still am totally satisfied with the numbers. Raceweight at the scale was 3495lbs with me in it. COMPLETE list of mods:
Lid
3500 Vig
ported MAF
unhooked muffler (but still running through cats)
Hoosiers
SOMEBODY tell me if this is where it should be at ET-wise?!
FYI, the time corrected to Roswell's elevation (home track, 3600ft) comes out to a 13.02@103.2 I ran a 13.03@103.5 in Roswell last weekend. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> Now tell me those NHRA correction factors aren't accurate. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Tell me if I'm doing good or not Very consistant times. Ever do any bracket racing? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
I think your 60s could be better w/that converter (you said the track was hooking). I would say your 60s should be in the low to mid 1.6s unless you have 2.73s. You should be in the 12.20s IMO <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Tell me if I'm doing good or not I've been out of the bolt-on game for some time now, but those numbers look really good to me, especially considering the few mods done to the car!
Way to go! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Tell me if I'm doing good or not I agree with GeorgeC, those are good times for the list of mods you show. Our car does mid to low 1.6 60fts, but we have a 3600 vigi with 3.42 gears, mac headers, HAL shocks, asp pulley and 3250lb raceweight. i would be very impressed with those times.

Re: Tell me if I'm doing good or not MId to low 1.6s? Uh, don't know about that one. hehe I only got those 3 runs in and I just flashed the converter all 3 runs. I didn't really get a chance to experiment with stalling/flashing it, though at home I usually never see a difference.
