True, but shouldn't you take the times with high DA and convert them to a more normal condition, then to take times posted in good DA conditions and convert them to bad DA conditions, making the times seem bad?

True I guess! Just don't like seeing it that way. I mean I know it sux for him that he has to run there, but use DA calc to his advantage and show what he should be running instead!

Well, I finally went out and ran my Z. Worse than I expected at Famoso.
8pm at night, 94 degree track temperature. Density altitude = 3186. Something bad happened with track prep. Guys that I know that run 11.5's were turning 12.5's because no one on street tires were getting traction. On 91 octane I turned 14.0 @ 101.8 with a 2.3s 60 foot which was all spinning with 3500 rpm launch. Used 8,000 rpm shift point. With traction control on I ran 14.4s. Looks like I'll have to wait until fall to see some decent numbers at this track. -Phim |

101mph, nearly 102mph, is a healthy trap at that DA. However I would have hoped for a tad more with your mods.
I trap nearly the same(100 to 101mph) in similar conditions in my sedan, which puts down ~265whp. |

Run sounds fine compared to what others were running, sounds like bad track and high altitude.

MY 7 AT sport ran a 13.201 with stillen intake and 4.08 gears. I hit the rev limiter in 4th and missed 5th.
RWHP 286. 0 to 60 using 1/8th mile time and trap = 4.41 seconds with a 2.09 60 ft time on 19 inch tires. I would say when I install the headers, cats, exhaust and a Cob tune it will go 12.7 to 12.6. bo problems. The problem is the rear tires. I have to get a different valve stem for my formula 5's so that they clear the calipers on these rims. I have toyo tires 275/35 19 that i run ay 23 to 25 lbs and i get 1.89, 60 ft times on my 5 AT 350 stillen Z. |

It's the middle of summer, around sept. we should see some 12s Famoso is a badass track, at LACR in the heat of summer I ran 12.3, the next week we went to famoso and at 100+ degrees I hit 11.93.
