1/4 Mile time w/intake

[jmwenick]

Hey guys, I ran a 16.2 at Kaukauna Raceway in WI. Is this good/decent? All I have done is an intake.

i believe 15.7 should be stock 240, or somewhere around low 16's, so its ok.

what was your 1/8th mile? and your 60'?, i ran 10.5 in the 8th and thats around.(the nearest 1/4 is like an hour or so from here and i don't know which days it opens so i have ran it there)

make sure your knock sensor isn't malfunctioning. Mine was, and it makes the car much slower.

[jmhalder]

yeah, im replacing my knock sensor tommorow, cause ive been throwing a code 34 for a few months

[SlidnSideways]

It also depends on the track too. Elevation and temp...

Is it a 5spd or auto?

I ran a couple 15.4's with exhaust intake and a clutch but the elevation was only 320 ft.

My 60' was 2.458 On crappy 195 tires and my steel rimsMy 1/8 mile was 10.532

Also, how can I check the knock sensor

[jmwenick]

Its a 5 speed, and track temp was 88 degrees I beleive

How to you test your knock sensor for malfunction? That’s like a $200 part I don’t want to replace if it’s working properly.

if u keep practicing i bet u could get a beter time

[jmwenick]

Yeah, I will be going down there again Aug 26th, by then I will have my short shifter, Platinum Plugs and 8.5mm Wires, and BRM 3" Catback w/Testpipe. So I hope to get in the Mid-Upper 15's

Well, you can ghetto test it. But if you engine is throwing code 34, you definitely need to replace it. The ghetto test is to hit your engine with a hammer while watching your timing with a timing light(won't always work though). Also, you can unplug it and see if your car seems any slower. If it's working right, your car will feel much slower under heavy throttle when you unplug it.
