Dont laugh to hard :P its my first run ever in the balt. and first ever run at race city

(relative alt was confirmed at over 5000ft)

it was a 15.3 and yes the darn toyota snagged me right at the trap by a nose


had a blast and really happy with the balt stock. DA conversion puts the run at about 14.3 which is not to shabby for someone as green as me.



enjoy

We all start somewhere bro and you're stock right. I know a buddy of mine talked a bunch of sh*t bc he has a 97 SVT cobra and he said he was gonna kill this Nissan Sentra(late 90's)....first time at the track though for my buddy. He STALLED IT ON THE LAUNCH!!!!!!! ha ha ha dumb ass!

 

cool man nice video so with the da conversion it automaticly takes a second off your time is what your saying?

 

I did a little research on the air quality/altitude conversions.
and at 5000ft the conversion was (from memory) 0.938 to your trap time
there was a MPH conversion ratio there too but i forget it.

and yeah basically 5000ft added a full second to my time compared to sea level.

its all smoke and mirrors to be honest....but it did give me a comparison to the advertised "14.1 quarter mile" toted by all the magazines for the SS/SC, im happy i was able to pull an equivalent time near that.


and i did snap him pretty nice off the line to

 

Im not sure that the conversion is the same for forced induction. i agree it has some affect definately, but I think since the F/I creates a false atmosphere it is not acurate to use those ratios, Im not sure though, so for what its worth. I ran my stock SRT4 at 4000ft at a 14.6 and my stock Redline at the same track at 15.5. So I would say there is some difference and I would love to think its a whole second, but I doubt it.

 

Cool!
