Any pointers?? im getting 2.2's on the 60fts i know im not the best/most expierienced driver but its just frustrating 
For the record, one thing that really bugs me is that my Mph hasnt changed from stock, im running the same times, and i cant beat my stupid friends colbalt , i hit third and he pulls on me the last 150-200 ft , supposidly the vararam is supposed to shine in 3rd but i havent really seen a difference blah!!!  |
Hard to say, but 36 - 38 degrees celcius converts to right near 100 degrees Farenheit....which basically means the car will not be runnning all that great.
Even a .1 better 60' would equate to another tenth or two at the end of the 1/4 mile so if you can do better on that it would make a nice difference.
What was the temps on your stock runs again? Are you running a SC colbalt or what?
I don't think we are going to start seeing much realistic data on the VR until late this fall. So far we have some evidence that it performs well (actual evidence and not butt dyno) and we have some evidence that maybe it isn't performing all that well.
The other factor is there is by far more variables in the install of this intake than with the others that could limit the potential of this intake.
I'm not trying to sound like I'm making excuses lol....just think we need more data, and air comparible to previous runs before we assume too much.
