Dyno results at 20psi...

[nissanfanatic]

ET isn't what you use to justify power. I spin first, second, and third.

Head is stock. Cams are stock.

I keep the 100 octane in it unless I go on a long drive. Then I do 15-16psi on pump gas.

The enthalpy tune is definatly a big part of this car. But I think everything plays its role. I would like to patent this kit and sell it because it all works together so well..

Do IT .Cory DO IT.. DO IT

God damn that freak motor of yours man!! This is so not fair!! I swear I told you a year ago that your motor would be gone within a month. So much for that, jeez!

Nice job man, really freakin impressive.

Too bad your motor will be gone within a month

[Edub1]

Was that the ebay cooler that I recommended?

I am happy with mine too.

[nissanfanatic]

My motor has been running this power level for two months now with MANY many INTMO drives... Probably will be applying this power to the streets tonight...

I didn't know you recommended an Ebay intercooler... I bought mine from a seller by the name of delubozparts.

Do IT .Cory DO IT.. DO IT

I probably will after I finish my time in the Navy or if I get stationed somewhere for a good while. I'm definately going to try and make a career out of creating performance automobiles.

I wasn't knocking, just suggesting that the relatively high ET is due to the fact you aren't getting traction, hence the high trap speed. If you had better traction you would probably be seeing high 11's at 118 or so. The problem would seem to be that the wheels get spinning real fast until they bite at a relatively high speed at a short distance down the track. Then you get going and pull higher Trap, am I right?

[nissanfanatic]

My theory is with a lower ET, you have more time to achieve a higher speed.

Eh, I get that **** all the time from the usual racers... Its not very often somebody even knows what trap speed is....

[Chezedik]

Anyhow, that was always the logic I have heard. BTW, seeing as how I have more going on in my engine, you give me some real hope. I would like to get to your point, I guess that is all dependent on my ability to tune. We will see.

[Edub1]

Isn't "trap speed" simply the speed you are going when you cross the finish line?

Anyway, cheeze is right. A high speed + a slow run means that you have a car that accelerated very quickly once it was going, but didn't come out of the hole well. Otherwise you would have reached a high speed in less time but not increased that top speed by much because that is so hard to do.

In other words, you were able to hit the wall, now you just need the hole shot so you can hit it sooner.

[Chezedik]

With a one piece driveshaft and some slicks, you could be well into 11's.

From my expirience as well as others in my local car club, trap speeds always go down when you hook well...

Once again, ET doesn't really matter to me. When I buy larger rims/tires, that is so I can drive the curves better. The most I'll ever go for tires is Kuhmo MXs. I'll probably never own a set of drag radials..

[Chezedik]

Isn't that what I said, I suggested a faster ET with a lower trap.

Although, I can see your point. Once you master the straight line, it is time to move on.

[nissanfanatic]

IDK what you suggested and definatly don't know what Edub1 suggested...

I sucks at straight line unless its from a roll.. But my car is meant for the street.

[Edub1]

If you look at a graph for acceleration Vs speed you would see that it is not linear but that acceleration is steep at first but tapers off a lot as speed increases. That is, you go from 0-60 a lot faster than from 60-120. So, a good launch should produce a good ET and a trap speed that corresponds.

A guy with a super fast trap speed and a bad ET is a guy with a real fast car that leaves the line poorly but makes up for it because his car is balls fast. This is a guy that would have smoked you had he launched well.

So saying impressive trap speed but your ET sucks is saying that your car is fast enough, you just need to get out of the hole faster.

[nissanfanatic]

I already knew that... What you are saying is also why stock GT mustangs with DR's run 13s, but are still slow...

I'm more for making power than making ET. I already did a 2.07 on my current setup, which I think is pretty decent for 205s on open diff..

[Edub1]

Sure, our cars are not good drag cars without at least an automatic. The gears are just too damn short. Besides, an all around performer is way better to have.

[hannibal]

I'm not too big on drag, but a 2.07 60ft with your tires and diff sounds like a good launch.

[Florida240sx]

my 2 times at the track had a 2.578 and a 2.684 my launches sucked... 1st time car bogged down, 2nd time I spun until 3rd...

[97s14guy]

nissanfanatic,So your an FC huh.. whats your NEC (CIWS here), and where are you stationed? I am in Norfolk I probably either know you or have heard of you since u have a 240

[nissanfanatic]

In CIWS C school right now..

[97s14guy]

Hah, word. Send me an email [email protected], I can help ya a bit with that. I am an FC2, been a CIWS tech for about 4 years now. I am looking to go to Damneck to teach when I get done with my sea time. If your going to be in the VA area for a while check out http://www.vadriven.com .. Peace..
