14.708 @ 92.7 with an Auto

Puerto Rico 4.6 · #1 02-25-2006

As some of you may remember i wasnt too happy with my gear change to 3.73 since my car felt and ran slower.Before the gears i ran 14.92 @ 92 after the gears it went 15.2 @90, I added an AFE CAI and went back to 14.97 @ 90. Lidio then adjusted my tune for the 3.73's and firmed up my already hard shifts. Left on DRIVE, the car is spinning in 1 , chirping hard 2 and chirping 3...feels great

. I went to the track last night but could only get one pass since i got there a bit late and they were closing early. I got there , gave the car half an hour to cool down a bit and lined up. Since i was looking to compare my run to my previous runs i used the same launch and shift method as before. No powerbraking at the line and left it in D, no rowing thru the gears. I spun the tires a bit of the line but still got an 14.70 @ 92.7 mph. There was a guy in a Black 93 Cobra runnin 15.0 @94 who could not belive my car was a v-6 ,lol, after i showed him the slip, had to open the hood for him,jejeje. Even thou I only got one run i had a blast , its fun being the underdog , no one really expects much from a sixer...I will try to get to the dyno this week and then to the track again, i think there is a bit more room left for improvement.

You bring up an intesting point... The car's best run was at Ubly, Michigan which has an elevation of 789 feet... Just looked at Orlando... elevation 52 feet! WOOHOO!!!

Iam very happy with my 4.0

1/8 mile times where 9.456 @75.25mph

I guess elevation does play a part . The track i run at is pretty much at sea level maybe 100 ft tops, air temp was about 78-83F and humidity is always very high in PR. There is another track about 2 hours away from my house. Its on the dry side of the island so cars always trap 1 or 2 more miles and they prep the track better.Maybe i will go down there when time permits , see if i can get anything lower than that. Thanks for the comments.

4.6,

Excellent time! I also saw a comment on by Rygen "14.7 with an auto" What do you think the difference is time wise between a auto and manual?

Autos are more consistent but they take more HP away from the engine, SO ....on a good run with a good driver , the 5 speed should be faster. With the autos u dont miss a shift either,lol, that alone wins races . But on the other hand , on a 5 speed you can slap on a set of slicks and launch the hell out of it, at least thats what PHP does to get 13.9 at 95 NA. Hope this helps.
