Great job.

Can you do a quick update for me.

My intake temp was 112. The track was a good 40 minutes away from my place and I couldn't get it to cool off.

Also, I did manual paddle shifting.

Thanks.

Google Docs

You could also try uploading it to Google Docs. You could set the privileges so anyone could view, but only a handful could edit.

Just a thought.

Here is my info:

Went to the Drag Strip today.

1/4 mile,

3 passes,
18.938 at 74.393mph
18.781 at 74.587mph
18.766 at 74.684mph


non-turbo car. bolt-on mods:
complete homemade exhaust
Silicone Intake Hose
Breathless Filter
Intake Air Scoop
Engine Damper

I found it faster to start in manual and let the rev limiter shift at 6500rpm.

I weight 235,
I ran with 3/4 tank full.
Elevation is around 60 feet at the Sacramento Track.
temp was chilly at around 58 degrees.

added another car and updated as needed. You know what they say - put up or shut up.

Question

How were the 0 to 60 mph times documented?
Time slips from drag strips seem fine for everything else.
