My TT 1/4 Mile Times
This was my first time ever at a track, no prep work, no power braking to launch, I just went.
It is the SIR strip in Tucson, Az elevation is about 3100 ft. I beat a 2005 GTO and a 2005 Vette. Most of the guys were running high 13s low 14s even the Vettes, GTOs, Mustangs, unless they had huge power. Even the GTO with a procharger, headers, exhaust, etc..ran a 13.2 with a 107 MPH trap. A blown 2005 mustang ran a 13.6. So I was right in the thick of things. I was only able to do three runs because they had two accidents which caused huge delays in between running, and since I have to work on Saturdays I left. My friends SRT-4 was running 12.3 trapping 122 MPH. This is all my very first run R/T a crappy .322 60' 2.32 330-5.97 1/8-8.915 MPH-84.36 1000-11.426 1/4-13.546 MPH-106.53 The only thing I did was push the DTC button once. |

Jason,
It was nice seing you there. I left the track after the accident then came back 20 minutes after and ran a 13.1@104. You did very well considering the altitude. I ran at that track for the last 5 year(probably ran about 8 different cars consistently and about 250 plus passes all together), I am telling you that your times weren't that bad at all. You just need to work on your 60',that is all. Your trap speed equal to 110mph or more at sea level and your et is close to 13 flat. It was nice meeting you. Carlos |

SIR is perhaps one of the most challenging tracks in the entire country. Try Firebird (Phoenix) next time and your time will improve .2-.3 secs and 2mph. Also, work on your 60's and you'll shave a few more tenths. |

I was going to shoot for 9 passes all together 1 with traction on, 3 with DTC pushed once, and 3 with everything off, and two power braking. But, with those accidents and having to work the next day I cut out. I had a good time though. And will head back out sometime next month. Topher04r1 message me your name and number so I will let you know when I plan on going back up, the name is Jason by the way. Carlos let me know the next time you are going to head up there, I am sure you are going to tweak some things on the GSX and want to run again. |

Jason,
I did the conversion of your times with the official NHRA altitude conversion table and your times are as follow: Tucson 13.54@106.53 mph Sea level 13.03@110.73 mph http://www.dodgeforum.com/m_620190/m.../tm.htm#620190 For being your first time you did very well. I would like to invite you to go to Firebird Raceway. It is only about one hour from SIR and the altitude is 1248ft. You would have greater chances to run high 12's there. From my experiences, I use to drop .2-.3sec and increase my trap speed by 2mph going from Tucson to Firebird, it is worth. As per my runs, I consulted with many friends and tuners and it seems like the fact that I was runing with methanol plus race gas but on a 91oct map it over kill the performance by altering the AFR to a very rich set up. I traped 106 mph at the same track untuned, without methanol, without race gas (only 91oct) and at only 17psi last time. Carlos |

Anyways, that conversion is pretty optimistic, Carlos. It works for NA cars, not FI ones. |

The NHRA is a general table chart so I really don't know how it applies to N/A or turbo cars . |
