Its somes good times and at the same time, i would expect more outta of it, i think i could do the same with those 300# extra i had that you dont have. If i was to correct the time is still 12.5x minus the 300 pounds goes to 12.2 on a corrected day which those are your times corrected too, do you manually shift this car at the track??

100 # of sprung weight isn't always .1. It was 90% humidity too, lol. I'm happy with it. A bone stock ls3 was running 13.4 at 110 that same night. If I corrected that 12.4 it would have been a 12.2. But I don't believe in correcting numbers. It picked up .48 and 5 mph since when it was tune only and full weight in much worse da.

my 12.5 @ 110 run was on only -332, i corrected the time and it was still a 12.5 @ 109 so it only changed on the mph and a couple of hundrents on the tenths, so your times corrected are 12.2 right.?? well i think with those 300# will be atleast .3 tenths

one really good way, if you're not gonna have a portable weather station......if there's a small airport near you or the track you're running at, find the number for ASOS or AWOS. they're constantly calling out temps, and density altitude, as those are VERY important for small aircraft performance. you ever fly a c150 at full gross, in 85F and 500da? dam thing climbs like a wounded duck with weights on its ankles.

what i run at 2500ft DA corrected i'd be running 11s, but i never see that corrected number at -500ft da because im spinning half way down the track at either DA. it gives a good ball park but people shouldnt be using them as bragging rights as people here often do.

i am not trying to take any credit at all from you ryan i just would think your car can do better. Try manually shifting it, i seen a difference, your car is fast no lie, but i would think with those 300# off it would have done alot better, i ran a 12.7 @ 108 with 1200 DA so like i said something is going on with your car or something is not working right, btw did you used wideband.? cause my tuner didnt, but i wished he would have. he just basictly plugged the computer did his magic, drove it once and bam done

i know correction aint nothing but i am just trying to tell ryan something is not working right, i would expect his times with just the mods, not with weight reduction too. i was just trying to show hiM i am not that behind in my 12.5 run, cause it wasnt all that good of a weather, yes it was negative DA, but if i was to be corrected it would still be the 12.5, which it had no difference, and when he corrected his times it was 12.2s so i am not that behind like i said, maybe with them 300# i would run his times CORRECTED

love it... and surprisingly... its MUCH faster then i thought it was going to be. In fact, quite a bit stronger then the GTs. I didnt believe the hype until ive done some racing with people on the forum.
