Well, I went to the track last night for the first time in two years. On Memorial Day 2002, at the High School Drags at Bandimere Speedway, I ran a best time of 22.16 @ 64 mph. This was with a bone-stock automatic, full street weight, no powerbraking, shifting manually at 3500 rpms, on a 95* day, at 5800 ft altitude. Last night, I got three runs in...here they be, take a look. First run: R/T - .554 60' - 2.65 1/8 - 12.69 MPH - 53.26 1/4 - 20.048 MPH - 66.96 Second run: dial - 20.00 R/T - .176 60' - 2.7 1/8 - 12.652 MPH - 53.97 1/4 - 19.89 MPH - 68.19 Third and last run: dial - 20.00 R/T - -.029 (redlight) 60' - 2.64 1/8 - 12.51 MPH - 54.28 1/4 - 19.73 MPH - 68.37 Analyze? To get sea-level figures (as per NHRA conversion tables), multiply E/T by 0.9276 and MPH by 1.0773. Works out to be about 18.3 @ 73.6. Mods are in sig, it was about 70-75 degrees out. Ash
I wonder if you could go faster shifting later My 93' LX w/A4LD stops pulling at 5000 rpms in first gear and like 4500 the rest of the gears.
I don't think I was clear....two years ago I shifted at 3500. The other night I was shifting around 5300 (stock tach, so hard to tell exactly). Ash
