1/4 Times

[Flipside909]

Well I took my car to tracks once My highest speed my car got on the 1/4 mile was 96mph...I think theres need for improvement

96 is not bad for an auto. But you wont see 100mph trapspeeds with an automatic unless you upgrade your pulley and do more engine work.

hmm...isnt that really good? maybe im confused, but anyway what was the time?

[Yanks0114]

96 is a pretty good trap speed. You know you are moving when you break into the 100 club

yanks, did you get a chance to go to the track again (after the bad weather last time)?

Doh, you're right, we talked about in the past how the TRD short shifter was the best bang for the buck.

Not yet, they are now open on wednesday nights so i'm going to try and go then so it won't be so crowded

i dropped my 1/8 mile time from 9.83 when i ran the 15.15.. to a 9.59 1/8 but the track didnt let us use the 1/4 mile because of crosswinds.. so i'm curious as to see if i can get 15.0 flat w/o doing anything else.. plus i just got my fidanza flywheel installed. and i love it.. gotta break it in tho

if u dropped about .25 seconds off ur 1/8 then ur 1/4 should be faster by about .5 seconds......u'll be in the 14's man.....good job

Well its not as proportional as that but yeah he'll be pretty close to the high high 14s or 15 flat. It all depends on the ambient air temperature and all that stuff

Do you seriously notice much of a difference with the lightened flywheel? I've had one for about 7 months, and it makes a difference but nothing significant. I really only notice it because I have a supercharger, and it helps the supercharger to kick in a little earlier. It does rev a little quicker, but it takes more rpm to launch. That will actually hurt your 1/4 times some, although you might make it up at the other end.

i really don't know yet.. i have yet to put many miles on it.. but i'll be taking it to the beach this weekend so i'll put miles onit there... but i'm getting new tires cuz mine were absolutely bald during those runs and getting my cat removed... soon then going back to the track on the 15th but i highly doubt it'll take .5 off in the quarter.. i think i can hit 15 flat

I'll bet the bald tires actually helped you; they worked liked slicks. The tread helps you more in cornering and wet weather.

like i said if u can pull that 1/8 mile time u should surely hit 14's man. i ran a 14.759 wit a 1/8 mile of 9.573. enjoy and let me know how u do on ur next run:)
