question about my new best

[DerrickD]

Hey guys, I got my new best Sat. but I was hoping for a little more.Do you think my MPH is low? Or is this about right?Car is an 06 gt with Kenne Bell 2.6l intercooled kit at 8psi, with Kenne Bell tune.Powerhouse aluminum driveshaft, CHE adjustable uca and lca,stock bullits up front, 17X9 bullits with MT drag radials and no front swaybar. What do you think?

60'.......1.673
330'.....4.995
1/8......7.766
MPH.....89.46
1000....10.163
1/4......12.212
MPH.....110.60

any idea what the car weighs? also what pressure are you running in the tires?

Welcome to the forum!!

The 1/8 mi numbers seem to be OK for 8psi. What was the weather like? If it was hot, it may have been pulling timing on the top end.

Thanks guys, I had 19psi in the tires, not sure on the weight but it is heavy, half a tank of gas no spare tire. It was about 85 and not to humid.The highest MPH i've gotten is 112.

Edit: DA was 2700ft

Is your car an auto, or a manual. If manual, what rpm were you shifting at? You could surely get that dyno tuned either way and most likely creep into the 11.xx's.

Good Luck, and Welcome.

The mph matches the ET---perhaps you could shave another 1/10th off if you got off the line better, but 89mph in the 1/8th and 110 in the 1/4 is good. Also, most cars increase between 20-25mph from the 1/8th to the 1/4, your right at 21-23 (if 112 is your best).

You will gain some mph if you ice it down. Do you have a water box you can throw ice in?

 

[DerrickD]

Thanks for the imput. Its a 5spd and i'm shifting at about 5900, launching at 3000. I have'nt tried icing it down yet.It sounds like its running about right for what it is.I'm going to get a tune and see what that does.Maybe a smaller pulley.Thanks again.

those are nice numbers... that body kit is killing your weight IMO....

BTW - awful big boast in your post!!

What, you don't agree?

I also think this is the best S197 site on the web!!

I'm with you on this one Don. This forum kicks ass.

Thanks. I don't think the body kit is much heavier than stock. I'm getting it tuned next week, so i'll let you guys know how much it helped. Thanks again for the feedback.

Good times. Did you have your front tires at max psi? I have had the opportunity to compare the cervini hood to the stock hood and I noticed a significant difference, with the cervini hood being heavier.

Do you still have your stock 17's laying around? I would switch to those for the track, less rotational weight. I run my stockers and they help.
