In Reply To where are you getting 12.3s? I'll get 7.9s in the 1/8th posted by WAGGZ on November 12, 2005 at 10:06 AM
     
Message from the 1/8 to the 1/4. I looked at your 1/4 mile performance and with your 60' (real good on street tires) and your MPH (also excellent), I would have expected a better 1/4 mile ET, especially with a 7.9 1/8 mile. Since you said you have done it consistently, the only consistent variable that I can think of that might be robbing you of ET, is revving the car too high in 3rd gear. Alot of guys tend to keep the small turbo car in 3rd gear way too long and rev past their optimum shift point. Just for grins, try short shifting (like around 6,200-6,400 RPM, in 3rd...if you aren't already) and see if you pick up some ET (even though you may drop some MPH...sounds counter intuitive, but give it a shot). If not, your car is just an anomaly, and is one of those that "doesn't fit". Take care, Mark
