+42 feet

yeh we can trade motors and see what happens

BTW: why is the car so heavy?

 

The car isnt so heavy without the driver. Sorry David, couldnt resist LOL!

 

ouch !

 

cold blooded

 

Hey truth hurts LOL, 295 lb pilot LMAO

 

Congrats! I knew it was only a matte of time.

 

Nice job David I guess loosening up the converter worked huh all you needed was that 1.4 sixty.

 

hell yeah mid tens easy

 

nice times! your car moves out real well.

I know how ya feel on the heavy driver problem. I add 280 lbs to my car every time I get in it

 

Great time! You'll definitely hit 10.8 without the wind.

 

And a high 10.6x with my skinny *** driving!

 

320 here!

 

I'm getting there. 245 lbs @ 6'2

 

Yeah, thank goodness I'm 6'5", or I'd look like a globe!

 

The closest weather station I could find (30 miles north) was at 640' DA, you should have seen roughly 1% more HP than it would have shown on a corrected dyno sheet. So (I know this is crude, but it's all we have) take your dyno SAE corrected dyno number and add 1%.
If LS1 SPEED is correct and it was 42' DA you would be much closer to +3% HP.

Way to stick to your goals and reach them. If you get a good sticky track, negative DA, and a little luck you may even beat your new 10.8 goal.
Keep running FATBOY

 

I got the same DA as Larry(LS1Speed) Best DA calculator on the net.http://www.dragtimes.com/da-density-...calculator.php

 

The calculator is only as good as the numbers that go in it. I don't know where the weather data comes from in the link you provided (maybe it's on site at the track?), but according to the weather station I checked (that was 30 miles away, it is also another 100' higher than the track) it was around 600'. I went one step further and used the link you provided to look up some data and compare it to the data I measured, and it was over 300' different. The best thing to do is to keep track of the air temperature, inches Hg, Dew point (or humidity depending on the formula used), and altitude. Then take those numbers and plug it into the calculator of your choice (if you don't know or like the formula) and bamo... DA. In any event it was about 1.5% different between the two figures, so not all that much. The weather is important, but it's also important not to get carried away looking at just numbers. There are so many variables that even if one thing is perfect something else may be off enough to foul the set up.
