SonicsSHO Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 First nice day of the season.. Temps were up there 83 F lots of sun and no wind to speak of. I'll post my two best runs. You experienced racers let me know where I should look for improvement as this was only my second time racing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicsSHO Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 [ATTACH=CONFIG]414[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]415[/ATTACH] I'm thinking on a cooler day it will be a bit faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcoBrick Bob Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Not too bad for 83 deg. A 50 deg day is good for 2-4 tenths overall. Do you know what the DA was? Notice that you got a better 60' on the second run shown. That difference was almost exactly the same difference in your 1/4 mi times. Assume you have a tune with these numbers... What exactly have you done to your SHO? Is it a PP SHO or just a regular one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrming Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Looks like pretty good times for 83 degrees! (not sure what your mods are). Not really familiar with SHO timeslips... so really not much I can add... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicsSHO Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Just Livernois stage 4+ and the AIRAID intake. 2011 non PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicsSHO Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 and elevation is 1227 ft above sea level according to wiki.....how does that effect times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrming Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 and elevation is 1227 ft above sea level according to wiki.....how does that effect times? The higher above sea level, the "thinner' the air... thinner air = less oxygen = need less fuel = less power. Here a great tool: http://www.dragtimes.com/da-density-altitude-calculator.php find the track, get the weather data and it will calculate the DA and in turn come up with a sea level corrected time.

SonicsSHO Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Only 4 hours from me, this is a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregoire Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Thats pretty warm but I think your leaving some speed somewhere, did you try launching at different RPM's? My car launches best at over 2000, which is about the most you can get with our current brakes, especially after they get hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicsSHO Posted April 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I only launched at roughly 1500, wasn't sure how much she'd hold and didn't wanna red light and look like a total noob haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
