Default Trap speed?'s

What should my trap speed be with my mods, we dont have a track here in HI/oahu anymore so I dont know. My best time before the headers was a 13.15@101.7, in 05' in 65 degree weather a cool night and at sea level.

that's a hell of a time for such little mods

and since you have less hp than would normally take to reach a 13.15,, i am suspecting your 60' must be in the 1.6-1.7 range,, which accounts for your abnormally low trap compared to the ET..

you need power, then the trap will rise...

i'd like to see a slip of that 13.15 run too, just to check out the 60'

He is at sea level so there does happen to be a lot more oxygen there. Maybe thats part of it?

yea, of course that helps,, i thought i typed that out in my response.. oh well (65 degrees isnt bad either )

but that would cause his trap to be a bit higher as well, along with the nice ET..

so yea, in addition to the weather helping lower the ET, i think his suspension mods and ability to cut a (yet to be shown) very nice 60' account for the low trap

i'm still trapping 99.09 in a modded 99GT, including 4.10's...i need more power/better shifting
