jeese, 17 is a whole lotta air. sounds like it cooked from the inside out. im getting 190rwkw outta mine on 12psi and i know mine is stock. and a quick queston to 2rismo, we are running about the same power (with no nos) and all i could get was a flat 14. how the hell do you do that. best 60' was a 2.1sumthing but only got a 14.1 at 163k's(damn) not happy jan!

Your answer lies in your next statement.

best 60' was a 2.1sumthing

In my experience, a decrease of one tenth of a second in your 60' time = a decrease in 25/100'ths from your ET. Sometimes as much as 3 tenths.

So by decreasing your 60' time from 2.1 to 1.8 seconds, you should see a 13.4 - 13.0. Also, getting through the gears quickly and not over revving the thing will help you get that ET down.

HOWEVER - For whatever reason, people negate the role that a shirt-load of practice plays. On crappy old Falken street tyres (ZE326's) I routinely ran 12.90 - 13.00 @ 106-108mph but not before 100 passes or so.

I've jumped in club members' cars and gone 3 or more tenths quicker than their PB on my first pass. Am I a guru? Definitely not!!!! Someone else could probably jump in my car and go tenths quicker than me!

Do the math, find out what the 'Moroso Slide Rule' is and stop relying on dyno figures to guage and compare 1/4 mile ET's.

Thanks for the info. found a calculator on the net and worked out at 13.3. A good figure to work towards
