new personal best

well its my personal best time, but im not happy because i kept missing 4th gear. so i would have a clean run all the way till 4th gear whoo.

also, id like to say that hptuners > trifecta. there was a ss/tc there that had a trifecta 25psi tune and similar mods to me. he had a clean run (no missed gears, similar 60' to mine) and ran a best of 13.1 @ 107mph.

i ran 13.3 @ 105 with 4th gear completely locking me out and somewhat bogging the 1/2 shift.

with that being said i know if i got a clean run in i could easily run a 12.8 or better.

my best 60' of the night was a 2.1 and i run 255 35 18 hankook ventus v12's.

i think its time for me to stop using NLS also, i can get the 2-3 NLS but 4 out of 4 times 4th gear locked me out while trying to perform a NLS. i only got 4 runs in today too.

lol. wasnt the tunes fault. i suspect faulty shifter linkage. i used to have a trifecta 24 psi tune and when i was just on 20psi with hptuners the car was just as fast. now im on the 30 spike.

All in the tune, I ran a 13.1 @ 110 with my 22 psi trifecta tune with just a drop in k&n and catted dp.

Got a retune a few months ago a more aggressive trifecta 24 psi tune with a k & n sri, and same catted dp ran a 12.74 @ 114 on street tires so far so I'm happy with mine for the moment.

Good runs Dart get your shifting worked out and you will best your best .

Just saying with your power, I was expecting a lot higher trap, and faster ET.

That being said I didn't know you coasted it out. I hope you get your tranny issues figured out man.

You should be high 300 to 400tq. That car has a ton more left in it in the 1/4. I personally don't care much about track times. We don have a track in St. Louis.

Yeah with GMS1 I did something like 14.1 @ 107MPH... terrible launch. But high trap speed...

1/4 mile statistics are perplexing to me. As far as I can tell with a good launch that would have been a 13.4 run at least.

i have my timeslip:

60' ---- 2.202
330---- 5.927
1/8 ---- 8.73
mph --- 88.77
1000 --- 11.122
1/4 ----- 13.303
mph ---- 105.59


so i still need to improve on some things, like my launch, and i think i bounced off 1st gear a little too because im not used to the car hooking in 1st gear like it somehow did.

Edit: damn timing...

Most folks that are tuning/building for performance, don't like "dyno numbers" and prefer track times as they are a more accurate measure of power.
Not because you're running drag radials, or track prep which obliterates street conditions. But because trap speeds are the best indicator of advances. Even a sheit launch won't drop your traps much if at all.

Additionally, if you don't like track times, why are you in the drag racing section?
