Well, I hit the drag strip last night for a second time. The following factors were different than my last best of 12.2@115.99
UPDATED: Just remembered I was running 17" superlegerras on r-comps last time and my 18" BBS rs-gt's on Goodyear F1's last night... whoops :)
exhaust open after the downpipes vs through APR's full stealthback exhaust
closer to true 104 this time: ~1 gal 93, 5 gal 104, 1 gal 110, all unleaded vs 1 gal 93 and 5 gal 104
The weather was significanly warmer mid 70s vs high 30s
My two goals for the night were to see traps of 120+ and an 11. Before I list my times I also need to mention I am not sure if my flipswitch was working properly. Normally when I set it to a different program it would stay in that mode, but last night it seemed to keep resetting to slot 1. For example, I would set the chip so the CEL flashed three times (slot 3) and let the car sit. If I turned the car off or went to switch modes again it would start back at 1 flash and not 3 like normally (I have four slots so its not cycling around). I'm not sure if my chip was just acting funny or if I was actually in 93 octane mode, but I know the difference didn't feel as drastic the last time I went from 93 to 104. My ET's say 104, but my traps say 93... If anyone has dealt with a similar situation please chime in... I'll post my full slip for the fastest and ET and traps for the others.
RT: 2.447
60': 1.752
330: 5.017
1/8: 7.713
MPH: 92.50
1000:10.022
1/4: 11.962
MPH: 116.90
I was absolutely amazed by how consistent the rest of my times were. This car could kick some serious ass bracket racing.
12.053@116.45 - 1.737 60'
12.064@116.42 - 1.732 60'
12.075@116.72 - 1.764 60'
12.214@115.72 - 1.739 60' (first run of the night, shifting sucked)
Anyhow, I'm really happy with the 11's, but not too excited that I didn't even pick up 1mph after dropping the exhaust... I checked the 1/4 mile database and it looks like I have the slowest trap for 11's so it looks like my rowing skills are up to speed :)
Edit: Car was full weight... Nothing removed besides mid pipes. My race weight last time was 3720 so it was probably close to this last night.
