I was wondering what kind of numbers I would be lookin at for horsepower and 1/4 mile times? Heres what I got

93 Touring
Streetport form Atkins
XS T04E Single
RS Akimoto Intercooler
HKS Wastegate
Stock Primaries/ 1300 Secondaries
Apexi Intake
DP, MP, Trust Jasma Exhaust
Apexi PFC & Commander
Apexi AVC-R
Denso Fuel Pump
Eibach Sportline Springs
Tokixo Illumna
Greddy Pully Kit

So thats about it. What kinda numbers do you think at 17 psi? Just wondering, since I live in ND there are no real strips or dynos close. Thanks Josh

 

i would say around 350-400HP and probably low 12's 1/4 mile

 

I would guess near 400 and mid/high 11s

 

low 12's high 11'ns at 400bhp

 

Buy a GTECH and let us know.

 

Just a couple of weeks ago I went to a local drag race on an airport. There were about a 100 cars of so there. Mostly vetts, mustangs, GTOs and older muscle cars. I was in the sub compact division with only 7 other cars. A 87 Nissan Pulsar, 94 Civic with nos, 94 300ZX TT tuned by stillen, a stock 95 accord and some other hondas. I ended up taking second because I broke out of my time on the last run, but I pretty much kicked all their asses. The 300 was my toughest run but I beat him. Anyway here are my times.
By the way it was only an 1/8 mile strip. It was my first time running on a tree but I got used to it on my second pass. My first two runs were just time trials.

1st Trial Run

1.236 Reaction
2.419 60 ft
73.28 MPH
9.453 MPH

On that run I missed third and got a bad light

2nd Trial Run against a 69 Camaro

0.917 Reaction
2.551 60 ft
85.22 MPH
9.229 ET

3rd Run vs. Accord

0.820 -- Reaction -- 0.512
2.623 -- 60 ft -- 2.234
63.74 -- MPH -- 59.52
11.072 -- ET -- 9.291

As you can tell on all my runs I hit the brakes at the end just before I crossed the line so not to break out.

4th Run vs. 300ZX TT

1.301 -- Reaction -- 0.511
2.617 -- 60 ft -- 2.579
73.89 -- MPH -- 60.07
9.972 -- ET -- 10.022

Again I hit my brakes just before the end.

5th Run vs. Pulsar

0.854 -- Reaction -- 0.675
2.576 -- 60 ft -- 2.287
60.00 -- MPH -- 69.33
11.459 -- ET -- 9.013

On that run I hit the brakes again but I didnt think I was running that fast. My dial in was 9.15.

But anyway those were my times running 12 psi. So how do I get my 60 ft time down? And can you kinda guess what rwhp Im running by this?

Thanks a lot guys. Just thought Id share.

 

Yeah, those 60ft times are pretty horrible. Are you getting a lot of wheel hop? Try Nittos or some other soft compound tire. Regular street tires suck for 60ft times.

Just to give you an idea, Rutt pulls 2.3 second 60ft's in his Turbo Integra.

Get the right tires, tweak the suspension to stop the hop. You 60ft times will drop.

 

Thanks a lot for the imput guys. Yeah i just got some new Ventus tires for the rear. I just tried to find the cheapest ones for the rest of the summer because Im going to store it in the winter ( I live in North Dakota ). Next spring Im going to get some new rims and some better tires.

Another question had was what psi should I have in my tires at the track? I posted a couple of threads about lowering my 60 ft times and they said to lower my tire pressure.


Thanks a lot for all the help guys.

 

Some guys get pissed if you, "hit the brakes" at the end of the run so you don't break out.
If you are going to do it that way, rig up a switch so, you can turn you lights off when you brake.

 

if they get pissed how is that his problem?

 

wtf are you talking about, no one gets pissed off at someone for trying to win. i've never seen anyone get mad at someone because they don't wanna break out.
