DA was -1800 but it was pretty cold out.
CJ intake +a6+first couple of passes
- Thread starter dennisn
- Start date
Don't think the cold was hurting the car much with the 1.55 60FT.
-1800 DA, wow that has to be a rare DA no matter what part of the country a person is in!!
Damn........... -1800.
Shift points? Tc locked when?? Tires spin at all with the 430,s??
Need more data

here is the best MPH of the day on the last run about about 330pm.. and the converter is locking up half way in 2nd and we are coming at the line about 7290rpm in 4th..
side note man I have to stop stressing and chewing my nails lol
so really the car picked up 4mph or so from my best times.. we are still tweaking the trans tune & motor tune and i'm going drop some weight with new seats and taking the back seat out with a delete kit, no one sits back there anyway.

A tenth and a half slower in the 60' but only 5 hundredths slower in the 1/4..... That would have been a good one if it would have 60'd better!!
What was the temp outside?
What was the temp outside?
yea the car push the lights trying to stall up. it would have been a 11.1? something..
temps didn't make it out of the 34 to 37 range..
Not bad at all. Should run really good once it warms up a lil bit. Is the rpm still a lil low in 4th?
at the lights trapping high 7200's or so in 4th with the 430 gears. also got to try and work those 60fts down into the 1.49 or lower..

How the gears affect first gear? It react like crazy? Roll on power kick you in the butt?
it reminds me like my old car launching at 20psi off a trans brake. it pulls hard.
Warm weather will NOT help it if he is hooking up, the colder the weather the better!!
-1800" DA is retarded lol
With DA correction your time isn't much different than your previous best. What was the DA like on your previous best?
So your saying a car won't run faster in warmer air? Explain how this is NOT possible at all. Better have some serious data to back this up. I'll tell you it is 100% possible that the car can go faster in warmer air. Keep in mind i said warmer... not hot.
Really curious what temp and da the previous best was run in.
I don't think anyone said it wasn't possible to run faster with warmer air, but in general you will make more power in cooler temps and lower da.

very nice pass nordy.....just work on that 60 ft time and you will be very close to your 10 sec pass .....:rockon:had a new PB today.. went from 11.44 at 117.9 to this best ET.. (had a better MPH of 121.4 on a slower run)
+1 on this.....the cooler the temp the better da will be and the faster you will go as long as you can 60 ft....
was on Nov 9 2013 at 11:18am at Cecil County Raceway..
Density Altitude: -515 feet
Relative Density: 101.52 %
looks like that day..
It's common knowledge and absolutely basic physics. Do a basic Google search on Density Altitude and the effect on an internal combustion engine. With all else being equal, an engine will make more HP with cooler air. Just for kicks you can play with this DA calculator. Plug in different air and dew point temperatures and you will see. Density Altitude Calculator - English/Metric
It is possible for a car to go faster in warmer air temps. Believe it or not.
I want the warm temps to heat up the track, but nice air to make power.
