New 1/4 Mile Personal Best

[Twister]

Well I am smiling from ear to ear..Some of you may remember last week were I accidentally let my rear psi down to 17 psi and out of 10 runs I only managed a 12.2 at 121 mph off a 2.2 60 foot. I was disapointed but knew most of it was my driving...Well I went out again tonihght and had the psi at 21 in the rear and put in a full tank of gas to put a lil weight on the rear wheels. The result was my best night ever..

SORRY THAT NO TRACK IS AVAILABLE ON MY ISLAND AND ALL I HAVE IS MY CIRCUIT CITY FX2 TIMER...(always the same exact location a outstanding 1/4 mile spot that I have been useing for about 8 years now.......


1000 feet elevation
65-75 degree hawaiian weather

And with the same circuit city FX2 timer I have been using for 8 years

(tested at actual drag strip for accurracy and found that the 60 ft is 100% accuartae and the 1/8 mile is 99% accurate and the 1/4 mile is usually off by 1.5 mph and 1.5 tenths...But sometimes dead on)...

The following cars have been tested at this location useing my FX2 timer

-98 supercharged auto camaro=14.9 at 93 mph( best ever at drag strip=15.1 at 91 mph)

-stock 2004 auto corvette=13.3 at 105 mph(best ever at drag strip=13.5 at 104)

-stock manual 2005 nsx=13.1 at 107 mph( no drag strip runs)

-stage1 auto E55AMG=12.5 at 111 mph (best ever drag strip 12.7 at 110 mph)

-Mild head and cam auto corvette=12.6 at 113 (best ever drag strip=12.8 at 111)

-1999 Viper stock 410 rwhp=12.4 at 117 (no drag strip runs)

-1999 Viper with bolt ons/aem tune at 445 rwhp=12.0 at 121 mph (no drag strip runs)

it should be mentioned that at the drag strip we are lucky to get 3-4 runs were with the fx2 you can easily get in 10-15 runs in an hour


You can see on my first outing trying to learn the car I sucked pretty badly..LOL

2003 srt10 with roller rockers and kn filters at 459 rwhp

1-12.7 @ 114
2-12.4 @ 115
3-12.4 @ 116
4-12.5 @ 115.6
5-12.4 @ 115

Man this car ***** I thought...Littel did I know that I was shifting when that damn yellow arrow appeared and really to early at 5500 rpm's or so

Tried shifting a lil later
6-12.4 @ 117.9

And then a lil later

7-12.37 @ 119.0
8-12.25 @ 119.3

And then on my 9th and final run shifting right before red line I clicked off a

9-12.08 @ 118.9 1.93 60 ft 7.9 @ 91.3 1/8
0-60 mph in 4.13

Very happy with the ET but dissapointed in the 119 max trapps I called it a night

Went back at it again a few days later( KN filters and roller rockers) 459/492 SAE

I baby shifted on these runs trying to see if I could hit 120 mph trapps

10-12.77 @ 115.6
11-12.75 @ 118.1
12-12.43 @ 120.2

YEA BABY a 120 trapp..Not to shabby and I called it a night

Went back out on another night( kn filters and roller rockers) 459/492 SAE

Tonight I wanted an 11 second pass and was all buisness


13-12.5 at 115.9 getting warmed up
14-12.4 @ 117.8
15-12.26 @ 119.2
16-12.1 @ 120.5
17-11.97 @ 121.3 60 ft 1.97 7.9 @ 93.5 1/8 0-60=4.05 !!!!!!!!! HELL YEA best ever with kn filter and roller rockers

18-12.1 @ 120.2
19-12.1 @ 120.1
20-12.05 @ 122.2 ( highest mph yet)!!!!!!!!!!
21-12.08 @ 121.4

Then I called it a night...

( kn filters and roller rockers plus cat/muffler delete) ???rwhp???rwt...added the cat/muffler delete and went back at it


22-12.22 @ 119.6
23-12.13 @ 118.8
24-12.03 @ 120.6
25-11.95 @ 121.9
26-11.92 @ 121.7
27-11.92 @ 121.5

Kn filters and roller rockers plus cat/muffler delete and removal of rain baffle...rwhp??? rwt???


28-12.2 @ 121.9
29-12.1 @ 120.4
30-12.0 @ 120.5
31-11.88@ 122.3 2.0 60 ft fastest ever WITH LOTS OF 11.9'S AND 121 MPH TRAPPS TO BACK IT UP

well honestly it seems like removeing the rain baffle gave me maybe a .5 mph benifit....looks like I was 120-122 mph all night...but befor removing the rain baffle MY runs would be in the 119.5-121.7 range


Well it had been a while and I have added the viper specialty SCT tune/findanza flywheel/titanium exhaust/underdrive pulley plus still the roller rockers and no cats and KN filter with the rain baffle still removed..Now dynoed at 476/512 SAE.

32-13.5 @ 117.5
33-12.1 @ 121.6
34-12.3 @ 121.2
35-12.0 @ 121.8
36-12.3 @ 122.2
37-12.1 @ 121.9
38-11.8 @ 122.1
39-11.67 @122.7 60 foot 1.87 7.65 At 95.5 1/8 and 0-60 in 3.68
This was the best I have ever done period and it was nice to see the mods showing their face...

Next mod will be the revised BBK throttle body..Cant wait to test it out. hopeing for consistent 122 mph trapps with the ocassional 123 and 11.5

Twister cool times. I went out to Infineon last night and ran 11.75 60' 1.71 119.75 1/4 There we three viper there last night which made for some side by side racing. I raced a 890 hp Novi supercharged GTs he ran 11.593@ 125.81 on ps2. I hope the new TB works out for you.

 

[Twister]

we could have some great races..What was the other Viper and how did he do???

BTW..You race so much at the drag strip you should get a nice camera set up and get some of these on video...

 

[dragon rider]

The added tire pressure with runflats should have helped with your 60 ft times. More tire pressure will also raise you trap speed. Nice job.

the other guy had a supercharged GTS nearly 900 hp to the wheels a real rocket .
I did a video of us racing. have yet to upload it I put it up on You Tube

There was a guy who ran 10s in a stock GEN 3 viper.. how the **** did he do that?

 

[Twister]

The fastest I ever heard of a stock with drag radial srt10 do was a 11.2 at 124 mph...

No way a stock srt10 can touch 10's. Only the 2008 models can do that..

Dragon Rider has ran 11.40 at 123 mph. He can still add headers/cold air intake/ throttle body/light weight fly wheel/under drive pulley/ported intake manifold/roller rockers....

If he continues modding and hitting the strip we could soon see the first truly documented 10.99 at 126 mph bolt on gen3 viper

The added tire pressure with runflats should have helped with your 60 ft times. More tire pressure will also raise you trap speed. Nice job.

I want the higher trapps but 20-21 psi is about the highest I can go. the car was still spinning like crazy on the 1-2 shift and I was never able to completely get into it on any pass..

The sct really feels like she added some nice tourque in the mid range

 

[Lundqvist]

well i coulda swore i saw a thread here about a stock gen 3 hitting 10s

 

[plumcrazy]

you waste a lot of time and energy on things that are not tires..... get those run flats off that car.

 

[Canyon707]

I think and will mention it again the M&H Racemaster drag radials seem to be the current answer to launching. Far better than Micky Thompson's Run flats and even PS2's don't come into play if your serious about quick 60' times.

 

[DMan]

Nicely done, great progression and testing, etc. Great job my friend, and it sounds like you still have some more potential.

 

[Twister]

Thanks guys..well I posted this onthe local supra forum were a nissan GTR friend of mine hangs out..

He saw my prgression and decided he wanted to take me down a notch....his car is built by SP engineering and is 620 awhp on his low boost pump gas setting and 800 awhp on his high boost c16 setting..

he went to my same spot with my same testing gear and made four passes..

He anticipated 10.9-11.2 at 130 mph and 0-60 in the low 3's....

The time to beat was our other friends mild cam C6Z06 that went 11.93 at 123.5 with 0-60 of 3.9 seconds at the same spot with the same testing gear and of course my current record holding 11.67 at 122.7 and 0-60 in 3.6 seconds...


His first pass he let off a bit early and ran a 11.9 at 120 mph..

His second pass was a 12.2 at 122 mph

His third pass was a 12.0 at 122 mph..

his final and best pass (and get this) was a 11.68 at 128.6 mph 0-60 in 3.8 seconds

The Z06 and GTR can both pull me by 1-2 cars from 50-130 mph roll raceing..

but the viper is still the champ because a 11.67 is faster than a 11.68 BABY!!!!!!!!!!


I gave him hell and with his trapp speed Im sure the next time he uses my gear he will probally beat my time..

But for now the mild bolt on viper is still on top
