ROB 98GT

well, I went to the track on friday for the first time this year. the only thing I have different is I firmed up my shifts and maxed the timing with diablosport predator. I was running 94 octane and sportin my new 17" wheels with bald tires! The best a could pull last year was a 14.8 @ 93mph. The track was castrol raceway in edmonton 3600 feet 30% humidity and about 15 C. (not sure what that is in a farenheit). I'm a little bit disappointed a thought I could at least get a tenth or 2 better but I've heard the track is known for being slow. There were 4 srt-4s and they were all low 14's and a ws6 and 2 other trans-ams and camaros and they were all low 14's! Not one of them broke into the 13's all night. What's the deal? I raced against a 93 supra turbo and a 05 mustang gt and there times look off too. Any opinions would be helpfull!! thank you. p.s. I know that non-pi's are slow so please don't bash. thanks.

that makes me feel a little better. does altitude make that much of a difference?

SXGT

maybe .3 at an altitude like that , also what tires you have?

ROB 98GT

goodyear zr45 17" not much tread left.

SXGT

i noticed your 60' was 2.2, mine is 2.1 and i have some laughable tires.

just wanted to know how the 05 get did so bad? it comes from the faactory doing 13.5 quarter and with thoes mods maybe low 13's high 12's?

ROB 98GT

when I was talking to the owner of the 05 that car never broke in the 13's and the drag radials were brand new, like a said all the times I saw that night and last season have looked slow. I don't know?

domesticated

yeah those times all look a little slow- especially the 05 and WS6s. I would find a lower track, a cool day and some d/rs and get a 14.4-14.5.

I actually went to the strip today and they closed the place due to unpredictable weather. I was PO'd. It was nice and sunny when I got there too [:@]. Anyway the last time I was there was last September and there was an 05 5 speed in front of me that wasn't able to break into 13's although he said he had done a 13.5 best. My car ran 14.6-14.7 stock with a Diablo Tune and TB/Plenum so I don't think you're far off. From my own experience the Diablo Tune and TB/Plenum ain't worth much though. Next time go when the wind is at your back.
