No. But since you asked....DA corrected for sea level is (according to the calculator) 13.198 @ 103.834 MPH. I think if I had UDP's, CMDP and no traction issues, I'd be pretty close to a 12 sec run (corrected of course)

Grampa that trap does look a little low (even more so now that I see the correction) and I dont think its the gear as 3.73 should be the right gear for that altitude and 3rd gear traps.

1. Are you running her on out in 3rd? (Usually faster in my car)
2. Do you have the limiter turned up high enough (at least 6750 rpm) that the PCM isnt starting to close the throttle on you? This can occur several hundred rpm before you reach the hard limiter.
3. If you are running 91 at that DA I would think you could run 30-31 degrees timing.

By comparison the run in my sig is very near 0' DA with factory 3.55 gears turning 6500+ rpm at the line in third. Im not going to mention where my limiter is set as my sanity has already been questioned on more than one occasion. I was only running 29 degrees of timing here as this is my "mineshaft tune" for altitudes that make US Navy Submarines jealous.

With 3.73's 3rd gear at 6500 rpm is 91 mph. The limiter is set to 6700, It shifts at 6250. I'm not sure about the timing...it's the Bama race tune and they're locked, so I cant add timing. But I can tell you this...I never ping...even with 88 oct gas while having my 91 tune loaded. Maybe I can get american muscle or whoever to write me a new tune with more timing.

Your elevation allowing you to run lower octane than you are tuned for I'm assuming?

Mishri datalogged his car last year and was running a 93 email tune on 91 gasoline. No detonation. We kinda assumed it had to do with the terrible DA.

Exactly... this is counting the horrible conditions they get stuck running in not correcting.
