Default Dragy times

Anyone in here mess with a Dragy performance meter? It's pretty accurate as far as ETs and MPH are concerned. I just bought one to play with and it's pretty badass so far.

My setup is: SBE 5.3, 243 heads, LS9 gaskets, FI Billet s476, 25psi, ~1020whp.

I had a passenger and started right at 60. DA was 3200.

I was definitely thinking about getting one. Are you able to define what speed range you want to measure? As in, could you pick a speed range that covers a single gear where you accelerate through a part of the power band you are interested in, and pull out the data for that speed range?

It has the normal ranges and then you can set custom ranges that you want. AFAIK, it won't record the custom ranges but it will populate a chart of it.

I've seen side by side time slips at the track and they are dead nuts with Draggy. Multiple 7 sec 1/4 cars.

Glad to see others using it. Great tool if you are trying to get the car to work on the street. And it is alot of fun

That car is working well to get into the 4s on the manual

Yeah it's tough to get a high power rwd car down the legit street(no burnout and no rubber down)

That box is a big humbler

Quite a few of us up here have been using he draggy and vbox (the OG box that set the standard)

Hand full of high power sorted rwd cars running into the 3s here. Mine does 3.8-3.9 like clockwork, been 3.6 on its best but that is hit and miss trying to do that

Most on nitto up here now

My dog loves it lol

Tell me about it. I tried 5-6 settings and multiple pulls the other night and it would just spin all of second gear. Best of the night was still a 4.8 spinning and short shifting into 3rd.

Need to do a burn out to clean up the tires and try again.

That machine that you were piloting, looks to be a formidable opponent.
