nope they don't like 1/4 mi down here besides most quarter tracks are going away. yeah you shift to third but only for a second lol then is on the brakes and downshift to second before you end up in the cones lol.

and im down for whatever
lmao i dont have a problem running at a track...but 1/8th mile ftmfl.......stryder what you run 1/8th mile? i know i will get **** for traction.
in CO when i was just a stage 1 my 1/8th was a 9 flat.....mods when i ran were..stage 1, intake,3" tbe @ 6k elevation

so im sure im running faster down here with the other bolt ons i added and being at sea level..i'd assume mid to low 8's ...but that just a random ass guess

thats what i have heard bout race legal that you have to shut down pretty quick......i think if i we ran it 1/8th mile it'd come down to driver and who ever gets the best traction....you have any idea bout your 1/4 mile time?

ive ran a 13.27 before tune with drag radials... my stage 2 time was 14.2's but i was a newb to fwd s/c cars with lots of tourqe and wheel spin then...

ohh off spray or course... on spray i would guess.... low 12's on DR's which your car is capable of with DR's alone... stage 3... your close to that...

well that time was with my prior setup but then i would say i was about 13.5 maybe a tenth or two lower.

but right now im still trying to dial it in.

MY BEST AT 6K ELEVATION was a 13.5 @108 on street tires
i figure with the elevation change i could shave a couple tenths off my time so down here i'd say 1/4 would be about 13.2 -13.3 on street tires......a lil lower on dr's

you know the elevation dosent hurt your turbo car that much... 16psi is 16psi.... its our s/c and NA that blow in higher elevation.... especially if you had a boost controller.... then elevation isnt really affecting you like your making it out to be...


yes theres less air the higher you go of course but your artificially making your own air...

you may boost more down here but if you were boost controlled then expect pretty much the same times... maybe slower cause your car has to push it'self through thicker air...
