i was wondering if anyone has fooled around with any of those cell phone gps apps that log times or any gtech style unit? i messed around with one that put my 0-60 in the 5's on a rainy day with wheelspin... so discounted that one as being accurate, but i used another that gave me a 14.1 1/4 time, which is at least closer. just wondering anyone elses experiences, i would love to know what numbers some of the other modified n/a's put down

 

The only way to get an accurate ET is take it to the drags on a relatively cool day.
The NeedsWings CAI cuts nearly a 1/2 sec. off the automatic's ET's.
Never heard anybody's times with a 6 spd.
But if the 6 sp. responds the same way to the CAI as the automatics do, then that should put it in the low 14's.
With out a time slip, it didn't happen.
MusclecarGuy ran a 14.40 verified, I think he said 14.38 unverified. I think he said his car was all stock.
(But then it's White), and as everybody knows, White NA's are the fastest color.

 

double post...sorry

 

i agree, there dont seem to be many timeslips for the n/a cars though, personally ive run an 1/8th mile track in 9.8, which is about a 15 second 1/4, i have slips somewhere but there shouldnt be much debate over that slow of time, in my defense it was my first time drag racing (.500 rts), was running lean, and it was summer in fl, anxious to go back or maybe even to the 1/4 track in orlando

 

I ran a 14.6 with pretty much every bolt on, I did drive my car 2+ hours in traffic to the track though and it was heat soaked... plus it was my first time at the track. I found it really hard to get off the line with the traction control.

 

i run a 14.2 verified

 

As I said, White is the fastest NA color.

 

couldnt be more correct ahaha

 

how did you launch?

 

I've always wanted to go to a dragstrip or participate in track days , but I've always been to scared, never knew where you go after the quarter mile is over
I'm a puss sometimes haha , but 0-60 times is all i care for

 

Just follow the guy that beats you.

 

That my friend is the quote of the day.

 

What he said...

 

What can I say John......it always worked for me.

 

based on your timeslip i would think a better reaction time would get you to 14.1-2 range, which means there might be hope of an n/a breaking 14s without nos

 

If I recall correctly RT isn't factored into ET.. to run a 14.1 I would have needed to trap closer to 100, or had a much better 60'. The car felt like it hit a brick wall approaching 100. I think my highest trap that day was 97 IIRC.

here's the slip in question:

 

I don't know how anybody with a 6 spd. can race at a dragstrip with out disconnecting their traction control at the main source.

My traction control would kick in (even though it was turned off) every time my rear tires would break lose, even if it was nothing more than a "chirp" .

 

I pulled the fuse.. but it didn't really help. It still only spins one tire, it's kind of a tradeoff. I fixed the problem by buying a new car lol. The dragstrip is not the crossfire's home.

 

sorry double post

 

It's all It took to make my car ack like a normal car. It never kicks in if the rear tires break lose, it hasn't gone into limp mode even once for any reason.
Of course it doesn't give you posi traction, but you never had that to begin with,
