Track results from yesterday... I'm pissed even with a new personal best

[Savage Messiah]

So, I ran a new PB. During the day the wind was altering between mild tailwind and mild headwind, so yea.

60' 2.087
330 6.095
1/8 9.441
MPH 72.83
1000 12.363
1/4 14.834
MPH 91.17

And then I had a run where i think the tranny tried to jump outta my car.. .then was back in 14.9s. I handed my friend the keys, first run a high 14.8, then a big smokey burnout, and then the ASSHOLE ran...

60' 2.080
330 6.069
1/8 9.406
MPH 72.92
1000 12.319
1/4 14.783
MPH 91.43

and THEN he went and ran...

60' 2.074
330 6.074
1/8 9.427
MPH 72.56
1000 12.354
1/4 14.829
MPH 91.00


So needless to say I wanted to kill something. Gave my friend James (on any board he's on he is 12secondv6)the keys and I think he ran a 14.9... then I got determined to run a 14.7 myself, since it's my damn car.

A 14.8 or two and then, my last pass, went...

60' 2.208
330 6.585
1/8 10.090
MPH 70.22
1000 13.424
1/4 17.172
MPH 53.54

both the 1-2 and the 2-3 slipped to the point where I had to lift my foot and get back on it, other people there heard the sweet sound of a stock 3.8 at 65-6600 RPMs. Yeeea... that tranny's about done. I think my rear made some strange noises too and my burnouts had insane wheelhop, its liek my car was trying to jump away. yea... so, I need to get back to the track and run some goddamn 14.7s myself, since now I know my car is fully capable of it.

all in all ran
6 14.9s

7 14.8s

1 14.7

1 17.1

How much does your car weigh ?. These numbers aren't adding up to me. I am trying to use a calculator to estimate my own run potential using my boost (parastic loss of the supercharger and prior know power) but (I tried your car out for shits and giggles ) the calculator I am using says within 200lb's of your car weight and your wheel horsepower that your trap speed should be much lower.

[Savage Messiah]

No idea, never had it weighed, the scales always off or broken or I forget to ask. And if you want I can show you the timeslips in person whenever we finally swap this DS for an LS1 one...

I believe you. Its not that, I am sure if you said you ran that. You did, but I also know there is no way your car with driver is like sub 2700lbs. Thats why I don't get your dyno versus trap speed and quarter time. Either you are making more power than your dyno showed (which is possible , especially if it was a mustang Dyno) or you dropped alot of weight.

Edit- Also this calculator could be full of it . In which case hello single digits for me

[Savage Messiah]

Dyno was a dynojet but ive got a feelign the started the runs above my peak torque and i think something was fishy with my HP, I gotta check the graph again... and no way I'm even sub 3000 pounds lol. I really gotta weigh the car and get a # on it.

[Savage Messiah]

went again today...

[FormulaLT1]

So you finally happy now ?. You ran a 14.7 in your own car.

[Savage Messiah]

yea but its still not fast enough

[FormulaLT1]

Add a 200 shot of NOS and you will be flying (so will your pistons right out your hood but whats that in the name of performance )

[Savage Messiah]

maybe when i have the enw engine, TC and tranny ready to go I will just for the hell of it
