GT500R Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 It was a hot day around 100* and traction was a problem. The heat made for thin air and the track was hot and greasy. You can here my tires fighting for grip in 4th gear in the M4 clip. I will not give my times but I was able to outrun a Shelby GT350 a M4 BMW and a Camaro SS . Lets just say I was in the 12's. So where are the slips showing you in the 12's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT500R Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 In my desk. If I post my times how can I go fishing ? Nice, please post, interested to see 60', 1/4 time and mph for your runs.

GT500R Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 I guess you are not a fan of Farm Truck . Ah! Got it, but not to sure how many people are going to be not willing to race cause they know you may/may not run 12’s. It was hard enough just baiting people to race with an Edge. So why not share the slips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtra Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) I found this chart that will correct your time and MPH to sea level. That is if you know the DA or just the track altitude when you made your run. It is interesting to see how fast that run would have been if at sea level on a perfect day. This was the only chart I could find for turbo engines. It is not perfect for the EcoBoost but it is close enough for fun. Again, this is just for fun and the numbers are close but not exact. To convert your timeslip ET and MPH to sea level. Multiply applicable factor times your ET or MPH. (Example: You ran a 14.4 @ 103 MPH at 5000 DA track. The correction factors are .9367 and 1.0661 for 5000'. (14.4 * .9367) = 13.50 , (103 * 1.0661) = 109.80 MPH. So the correct time slip would be 13.50 @ 109.80 MPH at sea level) For Modified Supercharged and Turbocharged Engines Altitude (in feet) Elapsed Time Factor MPH Factor 1200 .9967 1.0034 1300 .9961 1.0039 1400 .9955 1.0045 1500 .9950 1.0050 1600 .9944 1.0055 1700 .9938 1.0061 1800 .9932 1.0066 1900 .9927 1.0072 2000 .9921 1.0077 2100 .9915 1.0082 2200 .9909 1.0088 2300 .9904 1.0093 2400 .9898 1.0098 2500 .9892 1.0104 2600 .9886 1.0109 2700 .9881 1.0115 2800 .9875 1.0120 2900 .9869 1.0125 3000 .9863 1.0131 3100 .9858 1.0136 3200 .9852 1.0142 3300 .9846 1.0147 3400 .9840 1.0152 3500 .9835 1.0158 3600 .9829 1.0163 3700 .9823 1.0168 3800 .9817 1.0174 3900 .9812 1.0179 4000 .9806 1.0185 4100 .9800 1.0190 4200 .9794 1.0195 4300 .9789 1.0201 4400 .9783 1.0206 4500 .9777 1.0212 4600 .9771 1.0217 4700 .9766 1.0222 4800 .9760 1.0228 4900 .9754 1.0233 5000 .9748 1.0238 5100 .9743 1.0244 5200 .9737 1.0249 5300 .9731 1.0255 5400 .9725 1.0260 5500 .9720 1.0265 5600 .9714 1.0271 5700 .9708 1.0276 5800 .9702 1.0281 5900 .9697 1.0287 6000 .9691 1.0292 Edited September 14, 2018 by Xtra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtra Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) Xtra, my best 60ft on 93 was 1.82 That is fast ! The track must have been sticky to get that and you hooked up good. If you use the correction chart above your 12.7 would be even faster . Do you know the DA when you ran that record? I would be interested in seeing what you would have run at sea level.

It was -1100 or so DA for the 12.7, so not going faster if you go to 0 DA unfortunately. What was your time and DA? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtra Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) I am just learning about DA and how it effects the car. Unfortunately I don't know the DA the one day I tested. All I know is the elevation of the track is 1,158.1 FT and it was 100*F and the car fought for traction.. I found that the track has a site with the DA by the hour. Looking at 93*F today and a 3,938 DA at the track. At 100*F it would be have been more than 4,000, -1100 DA thats nuts. My 60 ft was 1.942 that day. I have decided that there is no reason to race the car when it is over 90*F so it may be awhile before I run again.

We’ll go when you can when it’s cooler out and good luck! Hope you can dip into the 12’s soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

037 Posted September 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 If you are fighting for traction at 100f I don't think it would be better at 45f. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
037 Posted September 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 My 1.82 was on summer 245s x4 and around 45f. Not sure how you are running stronger tires but not getting faster times. At the very least you shouldn't have a traction issue or run faster, I don't get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
037 Posted September 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Any wheel hop? What mods for traction, rmm, springs, big fat summer tires, tranny mount? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtra Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) Take off was smooth but I got wheel hop on the 1-2 shift you can hear it on the video in the car. It was my first time on a drag strip in 20 years so I was rusty with the launch and the lights. The car even broke the tires on the 3-4 shift just before the finish line and you can here that on the M4 phone video. I had good top end mph for hot 4000+DA day. I have a 60duro RMM, 21 inch Pilot Sport 4S summer tires.and H&R spoings. Edited September 15, 2018 by Xtra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
037 Posted September 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 With that setup you should be hitting lower 60ft unless your tune is limiting power in first gear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtra Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Spinning is not winning. I need more track time to drive / launch the car better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snox801 Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 What tire pressure are you running on those ps4s you should not be getting wheel spin after take off with those. Ive got much more power than the edge on my rs and I run those and dont get any wheel spin after launch. It could be the awd system is just better but I feel like you have something else going on if you are getting it going into 3rd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtra, I'm not one that cares all that much for 0-60'(!) or judge strip results, more interested in rolling X to Y, top end, ability to take curves. What was your top end MPH?

I'm sure someone, anyone, can break my stock 14.0 right? No investment required! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
