Re: 1/4 mile track times?

ya i know the difference between a 2.4 to 2.2 or even lower is a big difference..im planning on going back to the tracks in a few weeks, im curious to see if that unplugged sensor did anything..also my exhaust was leaking back where the headers meet the borla..the bolts werent tightened so i had a mega air leak there..also i was told running no air filter should help a lil? so all those factors should help a tad?

Re: 1/4 mile track times?

If you have an open element filter I wouldnt go thru the trouble of pulling it off. It might net you .00001. My exhaust was loose as hell lol. All 4 bolts around the "cat" were loose. The whole exhaust system pivoted on the cat. LOL Fixed that and my car is too quiet now. LOL

Re: 1/4 mile track times?

today i decided to put some use to all the extra parts i had laying around...i took my extra intake manifold and a throttle body from a dohc, which are nearly 1/4 in. bigger then sohc ones..and i bored the manifold to match the size of the throttle body..i noticed small improvments in throttle responce..havnt really got on it yet to test any real power gains from it..a lil louder in sound perhaps..should help my port and polished heads get some more air tho! i would think..

Re: 1/4 mile track times?

Ive had that done for a long time now. But yeah the SOHC TB is 54 mm and the DOHC TB is 60 mm so 6 mm is just shy of 1/4"

LOL I had to edit it because I put 64 mm for the SOHC TB at first

Re: 1/4 mile track times?

My dad runs 12.25 average with his 1978 Dodge Challenger. 11.98 is his best time to date. I like it because it is different.............I haven't seen anyone drag race a 1978 Challenger yet and haven't even seen a 1978 car in general get under 12 seconds.

Re: 1/4 mile track times?

Have you tryed playing around with tire pressures lowering them in the front and seeing how it goes i did with the eclipse and i noticed a differnce in the tire pressure that it had and 35pounds then went to 30 but it seemed to low and not as quick. But just a though to play around with.

Re: 1/4 mile track times?

20-25 psi is the place to be. 30 is way too high on street tires for drag racing. Hell 35 is max pressure you want to run anyway on the street.

As for non turbo record Terry ran a 12.4 on spray so he has the non turbo (but no NA )record. Drew ran a 14.1 I beleive completely NA
