Default For those who have been to bandimere..

I am going to bandimere here for the first time in a couple of weeks. I was wonderig what kind of times you guys are running because of the altitude. I would love to hit the 13's at the track but I don't see it happening because of the altitude.

Tips would also be appreciated.

Ya, you wont be getting 13's. Up here, with what you have, id say you will be low to mid 15's. Tips, hit 3k, dump it, shift quick. Dont hit the box on the way in. After that, go for it and let us know how you do!

BTW, jump on MHZ (www.milehighz.com). Most of the drag guys are on there, can give you better tips than me. That and help you reach that goal of 13's with some work. Cheers!

It only does on safari. Right now I just got on it and will register later through IE.

All it does is close safari after about 9/10's of the loading. Then it says it encountered a problem, Reopen?

well i hit 15.4 with mine, it only had an intake and i had a crappy launch. i think 2.42 or something rediculous was my best 60' lol. i had slicks at the time... they weren't supposed to be slicks tho hahaha. i bet with some good tires, a good launch and some good driving a 14.7-14.9 would be a good guestimate. dont think your gonna be anywhere near a 13 tho with your current mods, you'll just be dissapointed.

FYI..........Bandimere won't open for another 6-7weeks.

You will not break into the 14's with an 03 Z unless both of the following happen.

The density altitude of the air is very low, like 6500ft or lower and you have a near perfect launch, and your shifts are good. If those things happen you may see a 14.XX time, but I wouldn't expect it to be any better then a 14.8.

Yeah I worked HARD to get 14.8 however, My 60 ft times were not good. I guess in theroy if I had say 1.9 instead of 2.4 (I think it was), PERHAPS I could have around 14.5. Since I have gone F.I. since then I will never find out!
I didn't think Bandimere opened til late April...had me excited for a second!

i say stock/most NA mods, you'll be running low 15's. high 14's is on a very lucky lucky day.

Ill second that one, im pretty sure Mudd could tell me my track times if i gained or lost 5 pounds. Very impressive indeed! I think his best advice so far has been "learn how to shift" heh. Hoping to keep up with those big dogs one of those days, until then, Mudd, Eric, wanna drive an N/A car down the track for ***** and giggles?
