where did this SS/TC time come from??
@ wantedSS/TC;
wow those are great times - and to think my 60 foot times are quicker than yours...
I'm consistently pulling 2.2's on street tires...
I started out getting rubber in first through third while trapping just over 100mph (iirc 14.5), but was able to widdle it down to the point of only getting rubber in first, and chirping second, and knocking roughly two tenths off my e/t...
huh...
where were you shifting?
Can you recall what you launched at?
I have understood that boosted cars are not as susceptible to elevation or DA differences as n/a cars...
but this is making me wonder if I'm incorrect...
I just looked it up, and your track is at 325ft, while mine is 3380ft...
I know when I drove my car to my mom's this past spring (see sig pic below), the car felt more powerful...

I'd launch at 2000-2100 rpms, NLS at 5800 RPM's every time since the tach was a little slow. I would have to hit 4th about 50-75 feet before the finish line. I would shift from 3rd-4th around 6k though since it was easier to gauge.
Lower the front tires to 25psi and raise the rears to 40psi.
That's about it.
I would try to leave the box as if I was leaving from a stop light quickly (half-3/4ths throttle til 3500-3800 and WOT from there the rest of the way).
I've gotten lower 60's since I've been tuned and know the car now, but the times I posted on page 2 were my very first time with the car at the track.

we're currently on two nice little tangents of a thread I started trying to find the 13.8 e/t road test...
if my last post threw you off, I apologize, but this part is the whole reason why I posted;

as to those tracks...
wow...
I have never heard of any tracks not being on level ground...
Were these tracks possibly retired old airstrips that they were not leveled out to begin with?

Idk I just know that bunker hill had problems with ppl rolling backwards outta the beams and its like one of few that is all uphill. The rest usually have an uphill at the end to help slow the cars.

the man is right
headwind, tailwind and even track grade play a measurable role in track times. have you ever heard of ranger acceleration? this guy holds the c5 z06, c6 z06 and zr1 bone stock track time records. only thing is, he races down one of the most downhill tracks in the united states. also think about tailwind, if you cross the line at say 104 mph with a 20 mph tailwind, you are experiencing the same amount of drag as if you were going 84 mph. headwind is just the opposite

all kinds of factors play in.

there is no debate, there never was a debate... I don't know how you could read into it that way...
