Tuning, The Track, & WI J-Tuners Meet
Monday, October 22, 2007 3:10 PM
Ok, so Tom (Wrench Monkey) gave me a little flak for not taking any pics the first weekend I was up in WI getting tuned, so this weekend I made up for it. I had 3 days to take pics so let's get on w/ the pics...

I'd like to start out with a thank you and much respect to all of...



Ok, on w/ the rest of the pics...







































































I took a lot more pics as most of you would have guessed, but these are the best of them so this is what's goin up.

I wish RKSport didnt discontinue this spoiler, cause I like this and hate the brickyard.

Those are not nice times, my car w/ those trap speeds should run in the mid to hi 12's at least low 13's. My afr's were in the mid 10's.

Then tune your AFRs and learn to drive better.. or don't complain.

Well considering my 60's were 2.2, 2.3 ish, i blame most of it on afr's, which have been corrected, they are now in the mid to upper 11's. And it's my thread, if I wanna bitch about my times I can. So

Proof

Click here if you dare to find out the truth...input vehicle weight at 2900, trap speed of 108 and get hp of 285.11, then follow up with inputting those numbers in the second field...and you get the magic 12.62083. Wow amazing how facts and numbers work huh. I know that is saying w/ a perfect launch and perfect track conditions, so hi 12's low 13's should certainly have been possible, but i guess that's what you get when you're taking it a lil easy on your car.

And for further proof there are others that would be willing to input their numbers and amazingly they are accurate, I believe Tom (Wrench Monkey) would be one of those individuals.

Skunk, that website sucks. You can just go by a mathematical equation, get some slicks, drive a bit better, then you should be happy and in the 13's. I would think a 12.5 would be what you have with some built internals at least.

That's funny built internals add no increase of hp, if you do stock replacement but forged, everything is still the same, hmmm imagine that, when you go from 10:1 compression to 10:1 compression you don't gain any hp, wow, i think i just made a big discovery. FYI, I wasn't launching hard at the track...ON PURPOSE. And you're absouletly right math has no place when trying to formualte things for the car. Those are the times you would get w/ a perfect launch and all that. So let's consider something, I have seen w/ my own eyes a completely stock eco run a 12.7, only difference between his car and mine...Drag Radials. 1.7 sec 60's, his best run on a street tire was in the mid 13's somewhere I don't recall exactly. So seeing as I was still pulling low 2 sec 60's and not pushing it hard till 3rd, I'd say yeah the runs were good, but the car can do more and shouldn't be judged by the times. You don't think that formula is acurate, wow, you really are dense. So everyone listen he has all the answers to my problems, to solve my issue I need slicks and forged internals and I'll run mid 12's . The car can do it now, just need radials, but we'll never know bc I don't have them and won't have them until next year, and next year it'll be far from a stock eco, I was more interested in my trap speeds than anything else on that day, so getting a 14.9 @ 108 really didn't hurt my feelings too bad. Especially considering how rich I was running. Guess this weekends dyno will reveal a lil bit more huh.

End Rant.
