it's crazy that cruizinquick has NO heat-controlling mods!
Only common factor that I see is the
NW mani's and Intake. I've said it in a past post these lowered my boost levels but improved my power range. Besides that we all have slight differences. The mani's and intake will have imitators but the aluminum is not the same if it is not teflon coated on the inside and powder coated on the outside. It will generate more heat and make it less efficient. NW style is not the same. It's the swap meet version. Anybody see it yet at the Compton swap meet?
Right next to the Cooch purses.
I'm the only one so far with stock cooling (even the bosch IC pump), stock plugs, wires, stock full exhaust (no resonator delete either) to run 11's.
On sea level I wish I had their's. My best in AZ was 2100', and had to drive 10 hours to Famoso to get 1600' DA. If I had negative DA like Maryland or Florida I'm pretty sure my best would be in the 11.6's or 7's at worst. Maybe a 11.5.
If 900' better DA ft gave Thumper a 2 tenths improvement over his prior personal best, I can only speculate running in 1900' better DA to -300' would give me. I assume 3 tenths would be about right, but 4 tenths would put me at 11.49
.
That's why I'm predicting someone with a similiar setup will be close to those numbers this spring at the fast tracks.
From now till October my DA will range from 2800'-5000', so no more record chasing from me for a while. I'll have to get back to winning trophies.
