Try relocating your IAT as well, that, and a good set of rubber, I bet you that it drops by at least .5

These RWHP numbers across the board on chassis dynos have no basis in reality in the real world of drag racing.
Not to take away from your awesome times, it's just I get tired of 118 MPH with 600 rear wheel horspower posted from everyone...started with ricers a few years ago

Car went 11.7 @ 123 best so far should be much cooler this Friday hope for bigger numbers not bad 4500lbs

UCANTCME · 09-03-2012, 10:07 PM

Nice run Tim & Bev! Your Zed looks great!

*mlee* · 09-03-2012, 10:16 PM

Right on the money Tim....

How's the launch difference between the Goodyears and Nittos. Seems like you are not using launch control and turned in a solid 60'.

Edit: never mind the LC question... I forgot my Auto roots for a second there.

Trackman · 09-03-2012, 10:41 PM

Which mode were you in and what rpm on the converter at launch? I am a novice and trying to learn. I ran for the first time in ten years. Curious as I had the car spin to much at 1800 and fall on its nose another time.
I ran the same time today 11.886 @ 124mph. .421r/t 2.145 60 foot. 60f at 3000 feet elevation ,stock tires. There is way more in the car.

That's why a dyno is really only good for tuning because there is no way a car with almost 700 fwhp is going to go 118 @ 4300lbs. My friends Chevy 4wd pick up runs faster with about the same dyno numbers.

TPOWER The good news is that your times are about an 11.40 @120 at sea level. Were you on pump gas? I would like to see what your timing looks like on the run because if it's pulling timing your leaving allot on the table. Ill bet that if you spent a day at the track and did all the drag racer secrets your car would be a very low and maybe even a ten second car.

SWEET!!! Better times are coming

Good job getting out there

I am going to a track day with SPI Tuning and I will bring a friend of mine who runs a 6 second 10.5 tire outlaw car and see were we can tune at the track. If I get a low 11 I will be very happy

Tpower what heat exchanger are you running? Do you feel it's helping?

that's because these aren't drag cars. they are IRS, stiffly sprung, 4000 lb monsters, over engineered for corners.

yes, 118 mph is 425rwhp territory with a 3000 lb car geared and sprung for the strip.
