gratz!

Nice car, nice driving, nice vids.

 

nice man keep it up how are you making 500 whp with only 10.5 psi is it the cams or do you have juice

 

^^Correction factor.

 

Nice runs man.

 

500 hp Z should trap 123-124 + keep it up maybe you will get there.


what correction factor are you using??



i would guess more around 420 hp... keep drag racing though, much props to ya!!

 

based on the mods i would say 435 whp ...

 

Remember he is at altitude, unfair to compare to your weaksauce traps with the 6MT

 

Hum? He's traping 2mph more than me and same times? I ony have 400hp, but he has the elevetion to deal with.

 

ok, the day you show me your traps, you can talk about mine!!!!



i trapped tons of high 120s plus a couple 130s with 6MT on 13-17psi...

 

We are at 6000ft above sea level, thin air kills everything up here,(even people are slow in the head up here) haha jk
NHRA has the correction table for altitude change.

Thanks everyone.

 

Its not much for FI cars though...obviously depends on actual DA but

Track Name Alt ET MPH 1/2ET 1/2MPH ET MPH 1/2ET 1/2MPH

Denver, CO 5800 .9405 1.0563 .9702 1.0281 1.0633 .9467 1.0307 .9726

Convert to Sea Level Convert to Altitude
Track Name Alt ET MPH ET MPH
Denver, CO 5800 .9276 1.0773 1.0781 .9282
(FI = .9638 and 1.0386)

So an NA 11.99@120 lets say would be 11.12@129.27 using the sea level conversion factors or a 13.6@102 stock Z run would look like a 14.66@94.6

Yes, elevation sucks for NA cars...BUT for FI you use half that...
11.99@120 FI looks more like 11.55@124.6

In this very quick case sea level is 4.4 tenths quicker and almost 5mph faster...for the FI car but nearly 10mph quicker for the NA car!!

These are also apples to apples in terms of weather....but I believe the temp is 70* F and baro is like 29hg (dont quote me on it) for "official" sea level conversions

E-town or bust

NOTE: Supercharged and/or turbocharged cars (i.e.: AA/A, AA/AT, BB/A, BB/AT, A/PM and AA/PM) use half factor; TA/D and TA/FC cars are not factored
