mp3 1/4 time

[SilentSno]

I'm just curious because i've never raced at a drag strip, only dirt tracks, but is all the ET 1/4 times converted to SeaLevel?

I just got the digimoto software and cable and found the flattest paved area i could and ran an 18.02 at 80 mph 1/4. I live in Montana where i'm way above sea level, so i found a site that converted times based apon elevation and at sea level i'm at 16.587, which is similar to some guys have posted here.

I just have sri and a header.

thanks, i know i can do much better. even that run traction sucked, and i got about a 2.45 60' time. My run was ~8.5psi. When i get my new exhaust cutout in, im gonna head back. I need to feather the clutch, and not mash the gas so early wheelspin/hop owned me.

if you hit 14.7 at 7 i woulds think low 14's at 10. good luck man, 13's shouldnt be too tough.

u can do MUCH better than 2.45 i would think, i pull 2.3's all day long but my best 1/4 is 17.0 @ 87

i know.. like i said it was my first time EVER at the track, next time, im sure i will do much better. Launching at the track isnt like launching on the street. Im still happy with my time, the 97.73mph shows the car has good potential. Next time i will be running more boost too.

wow!!!

I just took my car just to see how fast I could run it. Mind you that my car is bone stock. My best was a 16.75... eh... well thats the best out of 4 runs. My first was a 17.2 about... oh well... time to save up for turbo....

i just dont get it(dunno) arent mp3s suppose to be faster than mp5s?
the 1/4 mile postings are same as for the mp5

took mine to the track last night heres the results

Thunder Valley Raceway
Weight: (w/driver) 2810lbs. (1/2 tank gas)
Fuel: 1/2 Tank 91 Octane
Tires: Bridgestone Fuzion ZLI 215/45/17 Front, Mastercraft Avenger ZHP 215/45/17 Rear
Mods: AEM Short Ram, TWM Short Shifter anf Kartboy Bushings, Throttle Body Bypass, Bosch Plat +4 Plugs, Custom Muffler (auger design, local muffler shop made it.)
60 Foot: 2.485 (not bad AT ALL for this track, better prepped track and i'd be in the 2.3's)
1/8 Mile: 10.767
1/4 Mile: 16.895 @81.785

not exactly what i was hoping for but better than usual (usual is 17.0-17.2) and i got a new best r/t with .513 so im happy. See what i can do with better motor mounts, obx header, sparkco plug wires.

Only 10 more horse stock and they weight a little more I think- so no not much faster at all. Until you throw a turbo in it

uh they weigh less, sedan < wagon

btw lighter rims and good motor mounts do wonders for this car ( one of my wheels with tire is 43lbs)

 

[smp3000]

ya i wasn't sure, just talking out of my ass. What are the stock 1/4 times for both? Car and Driver anyone?

I didn't know our cars have different motor mounts than the P5. I ripped my rear one hehe. Wating for thw AWR's to get here.

 

[VizaX]

Motor mounts should be the same

 

[TXMazdaSpeeder]

im wondering how much weight you lost and how much strain it took off the engine to remove the a/c, in oklahoma i'd never be able to lose my a/c but im curious.



also anyone know the elevation level of thunder valley raceway in noble, ok by chance? lol

edit: found it, [font=verdana, arial]1,054 ft above sea level

how come i didnt think of that?

 

[VizaX]

Im not really sure, A shop took everything out for me. I didnt want to deal with the freon and what not. If you remove the AC pump I suggest getting a shorter belt so you can still run your P/S.
