Default New best on the motor!!!!

Well, probably not much to all of you since it is a 12.xx, but made me feel good. I have the fastest stock motor car (just bolt ons)out here in Vegas. Here is my time.

12.31 @ 110.59 1.67 60ft. Race weight about 3600.

By the way, this is with a stock motor, trans, and rear end with 3.23's. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Our track is at 2200ft. Usually the DA really sucks here. Sometimes it up to 5000ft. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> I am not sure what is was yesterday, but when I find out I will let you know. I think at sea level it would do maybe an 11.xx. Hopefully I will find out this next year sometime. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Very nice <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> What is the elevation in Vegas and what do you think you would run at sea level? 11s? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Default Re: New best on the motor!!!!

Thanks for the info. The reason I asked is because I don't have 1/4 track to run at.My car is an 01 Ws6 vert with an A4. I have run a best of:
1.64 60'
7.79 et
86.9 mph
This was done with:
3.73
ory-pipe
85mm MAF
G2 lid
FRA
Closed exhaust through factory muffler
HPP3# for shift points only
vig2800
I was just trying to get an Idea of what my car will run in the 1/4.
I have a set of Hooker long tube on the floor in my office waiting to be installed. With a little luck I hope to see a 11 sec time slip some day.
Thanks again, Larry

Not bad. Your car should be really close to the 11's. I know that if I went to sea level I would be an 11 sec car for sure. That is the bad thing about Vegas and elevation.
2200 ft. and the DA is usually 3000-5000 ft. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Well, I have been in the 12's for a while on the motor and 11's in the N20. My goal is to run an 11.8-11.9 on the motor and 10.5-10.9 on the N20. Not to mention keep it as a daily driver. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I think I can do it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
