Adding 110 to your stock compression motor won't help at all. If any it'll slow you down. With added timing higher octane helps but Not enough to gain over 4 mph from it. Now running 12:1 with advanced timing then 110 will help. But your sig doesn't say you have anything but bolt-ons. -Mark

Ok, I have the slips here in the hands, I was off on a couple #'s but not by much and that doesnt change anything. Im also going to try and get a a lil site up @ cardomain or something showing slips and what not just for fun and for you doubters. BUt here they are, first off I have the exact dyno numbers.

It was dyno tuned @ Norris Motorsports.
Max POWER= 303.8 Max TORQUE= 313.4
A4 Lid w/K&N, SLP Loudmouth, NM Dyno Tune

As for the time slips here they are to.
I run my car @ Speed World in Orlando.
The 1st one is from me and the Cobra. I was a little off on the R/T.
My R/T .170 Cobra's R/T .331
60' 2.076 60' 2.197
1/8 8.632 1/8 8.708
mph 86.19 mph 84.68
1/4 13.211 1/4 13.184
mph 108.55 mph 109.90
so the Cobra's et wasnt even a half sec quicker. This run was on street tires.

The next one is me against the z28 w/cam & n20
My R/T .390 z28 .547
60' 2.126 60' 2.260
1/8 8.642 1/8 8.625
mph 83.71 mph 87.56
1/4 13.306 1/4 13.037
mph 106.50 mph 112.21
I was wrong I thought the et's were a little closer. This run was on cheater slicks. Also keep in mind I had my friend riding with me and he weighs 200+lbs and I had a good 3/4 tank full of gas. My friend also thought he sprayed because the z28 passed me @ the end of the run and we both thought it was very odd. So when we pulled next to him back in the lineup he had his hood opened and n20 was hooked up. He said he didnt spray but it seems really odd how he passed @ the end.
Now here are the time for my 12.94 run. It was against a turbo RSX.
My r/t 3.694 Rsx r/t .345
60' 2.117 60' 2.503
1/8 8.401 1/8 9.457
mph 85.83 mph 83.19
1/4 12.940 1/4 14.156
mph 114.46 mph 104.27
The rsx was 1st because when the light turned I was in neutral and didnt know it. I waited til rpm's fell to 2000-2005 i think and put it in drive. The tranny made a knock or bang noise because I put it in drive @ the higher rpm's which resulted in the 3.694 r/t time. This run was on cheater slicks.

So there they are. When I get my site up i'll post a link to the pics of the timeslips so you can see for yourselves.

N/a i dyno whats below on a equal 60ft, ls6 intake lt headers and i only go through at almost 107mph your car would need to be pulling like a f 16 to put down that mph. Or your not giving all your mod info.

Seems like the 114.46 mph run was nothing other than a timing error - not as uncommon as you might think BTW.

Unless you have another explanation why your car magically picked-up 6 - 8 mph???

A few things.

Congrats on decent runs and your "unbeaten" record (vs. what, I don't know).
Congrats on somehow running 114mph on a stock internal car (with no weight reductions).

The Norris dyno is conservative, so your car may have a few more ponies- still doesn't explain 114mph trap.

Stock Cobras will ET and MPH what you've shown here in Florida, with your average (i.e.- non aggressive shifting driver, cutting 2.2 60' times), so I see no flaw there.

112mph is a great trap speed for cammed/nitrous ls1 dragging a cruise ship anchor.

Yes what u said. and by the sounds of your last run troubles i would say the track error is the deal but anywho without a vid we cant realy figure the rela deal out.

114mph absolutely did not happen. It was a timing error as Angus suggested.
Post up multiple slips with that mph and we'll buy it...and I'm talking a pic of the
slip, not the numbers.

You were picked up 22-23mph on the big end then all of a
sudden you run 28-29mph up top? Where did the extra
power come from? You'd need around 375rwhp to run that.

Apparently you're faster than cam & nitrous LS1's?

Like I said I am kind of new @ this. I still get crappy launches ro like my times do differ some. Sometimes I launch good others I dont. I was really surprised the time said 114 myself. Im not going to fighbt and say that it could haveb een a track error. But I was going by what the slip said. I will say i am usually 106-109.

No problem bro...we're not trying to bash you.
The numbers posted up against the Cobra definitely look legit.

The numbers aginst the cobra semm cool, but the 114 trap is not right, the tracks timing must have screwed that one up. It happens, like when out of my 3 dyno pulls last year I had 338TQ, 339TQ, and then 359TQ on the last pull. That is inaccurate, the same can happen with the traps. As for the cam/N20 car run, I would bet he did not spray, and if he did it was a small shot and he may not have a tune/ bad driver. I trap 119-120 consistently with a few bolt ons and a 150 shot. I get shitty times though cause I cant hook up to the track. By buddy with a cobra traps 115-116 and runs 11.8-9's. He also ran a 12.4 when his cobra was stock. Sounds like you have a strong car though.

Congrats on your "unbeaten" title,it won't last forever.

I don't think the Camaro sprayed you at all.
A cammed LS1 with a crappy 2.2 60ft could trap 112 and have a slow et.
The dude had you by what 4 mph in the 1/8 ,he was pulling hard right after he let off the gas to stop spinning out of the hole. He was pulling on you the whole way and sailed by at the end.

That's my story and i'm stickin to it.

Better put a few more mods into that car of yours if you want a title like "unbeaten"

Good luck

Yea....The 114 is out of the question...All your other time slips (including that one) have you trapping around 85 in the 1/8 and 107 in the 1/4...

Then suddenly you trapp 85 in the 1/8 and 114 in the 1/4....

Aint gonna happen...

But on the upside you have a strong running car for the mods that you have...

108 mph or so is pretty strong....More than enough to match that Cobra it would seam.

And BTW...If the cammed/nos car was on 2.73 gears like me...it's easy to beleave he only trapped 112 mph without the nos...

Coulduve easily been an auto...87 mph in the 1/8 with a cam certainly seams like it.

it off.

its virtually inpossible to run 114mph with no weight reduction or cam or anything with what you have done....highest ive seen in person out of an a4 with similer mods was 111. and he has some weight reduction mods with long tubes and a cut out..on a 3600stall.

congrats on beating the cobra and z28..the z didnt spray you...he would have murdered you if he did.

Your runs look great. Next time hope for a 141 mph timing error, but great runs.

Also, 03/04 Cobra's put down typically 360ish to the wheels from the factory with no mods and he lost to you........well sorta! He must have been new at the racing thing.

Not trying to be a dick........I apologize if I'm coming off as one! Its just odd to hear this scenario knowing how sprayed LS1/LT1's and 03/04 Cobra's "typically" run.

Either way.........good kill.
I agree with my buddy Jon here.
