I was wondering what my 0-60 time from a 8.76 1/8 mile would likely be. This is just for sake of me telling people something when they ask how fast she might be.

Garrett

 

More information please.

BTW, it depends on the driver as well.

 

Yeah, give us your mods at least. Then it'll still be a guess.

 

Alright mods it is...

apexi intake
dp, mp, racing beat dual tip exhaust
apexi pfc
greddy profec b
9.5 flywheel
ACT heavy duty clutch
really big turbo timer, with advance engine response system installed on the side of my muffler

Garrett

 

oh yeah...almost forgot...

1300cc secondary injectors and a high flow fuel pump

Garrett

 

don't have my slips (my roomate thought they were receipts) so it will be hard to give you all much more information

I know you prodigies have atleast a ballpark figure I can work with, don't be scared

Garrett

 

8.76s for 1/8 mile is like high 12's 1/4 mile? High 12's 1/4 mile for an FD would maybe be like 4.2-4.5 0-60. Dunno, really a guess. If we were dealing with constant speed, these seconds and times and speeds could be figured up. But without a rate of acceleration, it's just a guess.

 

No offense but those times suck ***. Does your motor have good compression, who tuned the pfc?

An 8.7 is more like a 13.2 in the 1/4.

What was your 60'? That would be a better tool for guessing 0-60mph.

You have no need for the 1300 injectors so I hope they are turned down.

I ran a few 8.2's a while back with dp, mp, cb, 9-10psi, and Pettit ecu, that's it! Stock LS1's run between 8.7 - 8.9

 

That was my first run ever at a track. Let alone the fact that I was driving in front of over 2,000 people at "big dog" night and I had never been to a drag-way before. So to assume that those times suck ***, I would beg to differ.

Yes, I probably need to practice, but due to my engine temps getting bad I only ran twice. The second time I threw to far and missed third. Could not believe it when I did it, but I guess I was over zealous in my shifting being in front of so many people. I am new to the track and I am guessing your first run is not a very predictive factor on your best time. By all means, correct me if I am wrong.

I am under the impression that the secondary injectors are inadequate for above stock levels of boost. I decided to get them on a hunch that if I ran lean I would detonate. My car is now tuned on the rich side because the O2 sensor I have is not a wide-band. I am trying to be on the safe side. But you already knew that.

FYI...my motor has a good compression, I don't remember exactly so I won't even give you a number, but nonetheless it is healthy.

If you notice in the thread I posted that I don't have my slips. The 60-foot time in turn would not be at my grasp. But in the instance that I find my slips, I will give you the information.

Bravo to your times, I really don't care that you ran better than me, but they are pretty impressive all the same.

Garrett

 

don't take it the wrong way, i think he said your time sucks with the mods you have, i.e., you can definitely run better, not that he's better than you bc he's faster

 

On my third run at the strip I am hoping for a heep of wheel hop to propel my *** and my tires to the max. So then at the time of the said "launch" I can think the track gods for giving me a stickier surface. After which I'll throw the evil lever into third and say a big "whooo who" to the fans. All of them I am sure will be intrigued on how I had such a powerfull launch. I'll just tell em' "its all about how much your wheels hop, nothin' more nothin less".

Garrett

Ps a parody of sorts on the wheel hop I experienced

 

on another note...ttb, I understand what he was saying. I get a little long-winded every once in a while with replies...

After all he did start off by saying "no offense" before he said "those times suck ***"

Which means that he didn't want to offend me before he offended me...

Garrett

 

I'm sorry if I offended you. It's obvious that you don't know alot about times and I was trying to help figure out why your times were slow. ie: bad motor, bad tuning.

I understand you're new to the strip but with your mods, that car should be almost a second faster. I really doubt you're that bad of a driver.

Next time you go to the track, don't even worry about cutting a good light. Just let it turn green and take off when you feel comfortable.

 

4.8 - 4.9 0-60mph

Ken

 

Yeah, that is some good advice. Everyone and their brother was telling me to react quickly when the yellow light came on, so as to add to my anxiety. Next time I'll wait patiently for the green light.

My car probably is tuned a little too rich, and not to mention my tires aren't any where near the radials that I saw at the track. My next investment will certaintly be drag radials. Well, maybe I just need to get rid of that wheel hop with some good suspension parts before I tackle any other issue.

Garrett

 

LaBreck's bushings will help wheel hop, drag radials will help too.

My 0-60mph estimate was using Cartest2000 simmulator.

LaBreck and I use it all the time.

Ken

 

i think that his times are alright. now, mine were HORRIBLE. my car was completely stock, wheel spin-wheel spin, shift to 2nd *** end kicked out, i had to hit my brakes on a f*ckin 1/8 track. oh yeah it was my first time ever driving a RWD, my last cars were a sunfire GT and Eclipse GT. anyways i think i ended up getting a 10.1 or something, i was so embaressed i told everyone it was a N/A. It was ok tho, my buddy has a 12 sec, 300zx and he ran like a 9.8 he was still spinning his wheels at the end of the race. that track sucked ***.

 

In case you didn't know, the clock doesn't start until you move so you can sit at the light all day.

I know some of those rednecks don't give you anytime, as soon as you're staged they drop the lights.

You may have to slip the clutch a little to get past the wheel hop. Anyhow make sure you have good tires next time, it can be a huge difference.

Now a 10.1..................

 

Damn slow server...double post

 

A second faster? Is that right? I'm not doubting you, just kind of suprised. So on the stock intercooler/turbos he could run 7.70's in the 1/8th with his mods. At what psi could he attain these numbers? With a good run of course.

 

Well if I ran a 8.2 and he has more mods then me (intake, PFC) I could see the car breaking 7's with a good driver.
