you didnt factor in the wagon correction factor:

wagon = sedan time + afternoon high tide for the second sunday of the month. That puts your 0-100 time at around 6.7s.

ok that makes more sense, I can't believe I forgot about the wagon correction factor!

Dont forget the gtech correction figure. Thats where you wait till you throw the gtech out the window at 4500rpm in 1st gear and count the amount of times it bounces. Then devide that by the amount of spanners in a sydchrome tool kit and add that to your overall time... as calculated above.

If gtech pro ss gives me 7seconds to 60mph then my 330footer will probably be 6 seconds.

Walkinshaw · 07-12-2005, 06:37 PM

Fair enough. I'll apply some of your logic.

My ET - my 660' plus the RT of the guy in the other lane = my 0-100 time

15.4 - 9.9 + 1.84 = 7.34

Works every time

Oh also, if your 15.19 run was done with a 6.3 660' and you think you can nail a 6.0 330' you're basicaly claiming that your car in its current state with cooler weather will run a 14.6 dead run at seemingly over 94mph??

MustangNicko · 07-12-2005, 07:35 PM

Just wait and see what the G-tech says

If I can get a 330 footer with consistent 6.0 I will run a 14.89..yes.Not a 14.6

**Stav** · 07-12-2005, 08:59 PM

Do I have to prove my theory?

stockstandard · 07-12-2005, 09:00 PM

if you drop .3 of your 660' time you are going to drop your ET by much more than .3

Casper · 07-12-2005, 09:02 PM

In the end the 15.19 stands as the time. All the speculation in the world is wonderful.. but a time is a time and thats what it runs.
I'd love to say I had a 14.xx car with all the new mods but I dont, I have a 15.02 car and until I have a timeslip that says otherwise.. the time stands.

**Stav** · 07-12-2005, 09:06 PM

I concur.

[QUOTE=XDSLIDER]Brendens Car is not quite a Full House Race car, but is definately not a street car. It has been setup for drags thats for sure. But the rear tyres do not stick out the guards!!!! I hate having to point that out. They just fill the guards......................completely.
But even in street trim, it does leave you neck hurting.

my PB time has a 6.02 330ft and nets a 14.40 ,and you have less pwr and more weight so Id say your 14.8-9 isnt far off the mark , you just need to get that one perfect run and a lil bit of luck

Exactly. Hence my 14.6 comment.

What he said.He knows.What is,is. What is not is not.

No use predicting anything until its proven.So Ill get back to the lab and if I am ready do one more run.It will be a decent 14 run too.

stiddy · 08-12-2005, 01:17 AM

*cough* street fighter head *coughs* re tune

that will net you 14's

Aaron_EF8 · 08-12-2005, 01:35 AM

Cough GT42 cough, that'll see you into the 10's

Well done useless the 15.1 was a sensational time from an AU 6 cyl Auto wagon.

I gave it a big try with my dev3hl wagon but I can't get mine off the line as fast as yours even with my new 3.45 diff gears.

My best time for the day was the following:
R/T 60' 330' 660' MPH 1000' ET MPH
0.2040 2.344 6.570 10.009 71.45 12.963 15.464 90.24
versus Useless
R/T 60' 330' 660' MPH 1000' ET MPH
0.707 2.177 6.327 9.746 71.82 12.697 15.194 90.10

Given we both have AU wagons and the weights are similar and the terminal speeds are close I would say the Hi stall converter and 3.7 gears are what gives useless dev4 the edge on the track.

Thanks man .I think you are correct.

It seems that the advantage from the start is what did get me in front.After the initial start our aceleration is pretty constant,indicating the same power levels.
The dev 4 cam vs dev 3hl cam therefore in this instance has only a difference of valve springs..not power.

Once your back from fishing mate. Will do..I have discovered that converters aint always converters.Even if the car is making good power a bad converter will sabotage the power getting to the ground.
