My 60s last night were anywhere from 2.290-2.305 and I was running 14.4s at 7-8psi. This was also on very very worn out tires. Im going back to the track soon to run it at 10.5psi and better tires so we will see what happens.

It's only been run on a G-Tech Competition so I havent posted the numbers...

Directly after weighing the car in at 2835 With Me In It, My best run was 13.6 @ 105

my car weighs 2805 with me in it..... fattie. lol.

Sounds good, not to sure how accurate Gtechs are though.

I had a full tank and a stereo...

They are supposed to be very good as long as the data (Weight) is very precise. Not like, oh lets say... Guessing a number out of your head...

 

[Lil Freek]

very.. don't take my 16.9 away from me!!!!


My poor ATx will only see the track once or twice this year... the tranny's gonna be pretty fragile, even with the valve body, so i'm gonna take a reserved run at the track - hopefully put up something like a 15.0s 400m

like my 4.58sec run?
I told you that was REAL, man...

*jedi hand wave* it was real

well if you are thinking I'm guessing, like a queer, it's more like I used a track scale.

 

[Lil Freek]

i think Brian was referring to guessing a 1/4mile time outta your head.

 

[Brian MP5T]

Like, Guessing the weight... Like I think it feels like about 2000 Lbs, when the car actually is 2800 Lbs. All the data is caluclate based on the weight of the car... The people who kill the rep of the G-Tech are those who fail to weigh their car just prior to the test...

No Batty Boy, you Dont understand. I was being Postitive, not dissing your numbers...I was refering to people who just guess the number and plug it into the G-Tech

now that I've read all 15 pages worth of posts, what kind of wheels are you guys running with slicks and what tire size

 

[BlkZoomZoom]

sometimes stock. sometimes 205/50/15 bfg drag radials, sometimes 225/50/15 drag radials, sometimes 26/9/15 slicks.

 

[orng1]

yeah I've been curious as to what type of 15" wheel will fit these cars. thats wha i'm looking for a 15" wheel with something like 24.5 or 25"x 8" slick. thanks read about your motor sux better luck with the next one.

 

[BlkZoomZoom]

That thing went through more torture than I thought possible. This one has upped the ante quite abit. I think we're gonna see a few low 12 second and maybe high 11 passes this year.
