thats a lot of mods for only a 12.6

just more practice and you will get it lower

boostdog · 10-09-2007, 11:21 AM

seems like the car ran out of steam at the 1000 ft mark.. any idea what those times/mph were? you deff. had the car beat all the way to the 1/8 mile......maybe shift better??? i don't know something does not add up....what were you running against? and how much hp/tq are you making?

That 108 trap shows the car has some power, but i would think with your launch (which i think is decent) and your trap that you should have a lower ET. Maybe it's the extra shift in the 6-speed. Personally i'd be happy with that run and it looks like it was a good race. If you want a quicker ET, get that launch into the 1.7s and i think you could run a 12.4.

stu · 10-09-2007, 01:58 PM

are you flatfoot shifting. needs something. your traps should be higher.

Jhovany · 10-09-2007, 06:57 PM

I believe (if i remember correctly) I shifted into 5th ALMOST crossing the finish

Jhovany · 10-09-2007, 06:58 PM

I am making 335whp and 319lbs/ft torque on 91oct at 19psi

SueBaroo · 10-09-2007, 07:23 PM

Weird, the guy with the 07 STi w/ only a TBE and tune is running almost the same w/ way less mods...He's on the left...

wrxfactor · 10-09-2007, 08:34 PM

The 07's have some longer gears, this has been discussed. They also make some insane power when tuned. The OP is also at 5000ft elevation, let's not forget that. Congrats on a personal best, I would think you could get sub 12.4 passes out of that if you can get the 60ft down and dial in shift points (maybe they're not perfect where they are).

MJU1983 · 10-09-2007, 08:59 PM

5,000 ft...can no one read? lol

That plus pump 91 results in a pretty good run if you ask me.

Jhovany · 10-09-2007, 09:04 PM

Awesome! So my time is not TERRIBLY bad? Congrats to that guy that ran a 12.7!!!! Yeah Im not that great of a driver but im working on it!

Area 51 dragway is in Roswell and is listed as 3700 ft altitude.
For a turbocharged car you need to use the 1/2 correction factors so his
12.669 @ 108.68 corrects for altitude to a 12.445 @ 110.505 run near sealevel.

Not bad times for altitude, it took us over 5 years for someone to run anything faster than a low 12 here at Denver and 5800 ft altitude.

As far as the 60' time, you should be able to get that down in the mid 1.7x with a bit of practice but altitude makes it more difficult to get a good launch than it is at sea level due to its effects on the turbocharger. (it takes longer to build boost and the turbo has to work significantly harder to make the same boost).

So true, but I did manage a 12.6@108 at Bandi with just an 18G, D/P and MBC back in 04
