Little disappointed I guess. I'm working my way down, but that still sucks.

Here's the break down:

r/t .392
60' 2.245
330 6.028
1/8 9.034
MPH 82.21
1000 11.619
1/4 13.806
MPH 102.42


According to the NHRA, 5300 ft requires a .9 sec correction. So that says 12.9 at sea level. I'm at 5900 ft though. Either way, I'm not sure how right their correction is, but that IS the NHRA I suppose...

This run was made with slicks. Had to feather the clutch from 4.5k or else i get wheelhop (already have ZX2 struts and filled mounts too)

Pass was done on 9-10 psi. I got an exhaust made this time too

thats not too bad, youll get there

Thats actually pretty good, how much power are you making to the wheels now with your latest mods?
How was your launch?

Well, with latest mods last dyno was 269 whp on 8 psi.

I was pushing 9-10 psi, and my car gains 15 hp at the least per psi, so I'd say I was right at 300 whp.

Launch sucked. It launches hard, but I think the part thats costing me .2-.3 tenths is trying to find the "sweet spot" as I feather out the clutch. I'll try a couple clutch dumps anyways next time and hope for no wheelhop.

Thanks for the comments guys. Next go round, maybe I'll get a tuned 15 psi run in.

Possible twin turbo setup in consideration right now.

One more question
When you hit boost or your peak horsepower and torque, does you car loose more traction?

I'm just curious because I seen some other peoples turboed setups and by the time they hit about 3k - 4k RPMs, their hp/tq goes up by alot

Here's how it goes...

roll in 1st gear, 20 mph ~4k rpm

punch it, shift 2nd hard, rpms sit at 7k and the tires just spin all the way through. It leaves a 30-40 ft 2 tire patch everytime. It's insane really.

3rd gear rolls I do not lose traction. 2nd gear roll, when it hits about 5k I get a little squabbling of the tires.

On slicks, traction problems are non existant.

Here's the plot.

Just outta curiosity what kind of weight reduction do you have?? if any. And have you weighed your car??

Those are some nice times man :thup:

Thanks.

Yes I have weighed it. I have no done any weight reductions, probably the only thing worth mentioning is that the cat is removed.

I weigh 140 lbs and with me the car weighs 2720. So, 2580 is what it weighs.

I still have full interior, a/c, airbags, etc. It's a street car

thats good to hear. I plan on running a ZE with 100 shot of nitrous, and tons of weight reduction. I plan on getting the car down to about 2100-2200 Lbs. So i hope to see as nice of times as you have.

Stock internals on the ZE?

Yes sir, I have been running a 100 shot for years on my KLDE, and have been running at 125 on it for less than 2 months, this is in my 1994 MX-6...so the MX-3 ZE i am putting together i'm going ZE with nitrous

Nice Job though, cant wait to see you hit 12's

what tires you rockin?

That is still an AWESOME time!
