13.791@102.22
went to the track tonight, i only got one run in with my MT 26X8X15s i pulled the plug outta the side of the brake distribution block thinking that would bypass the controls that kills the power when both brake and gas are depressed, well that didnt work, no burnout, so i pulled the brake fuse for the next run and it started raining, im sure the brake fuse will work, but i figured the plug in the distribution block would have worked... 
with no burn out i pulled a 1.902 60,
i ran 13.6 at 102, i have a KnN dropin, skunk2 plenum spacer and test pipes...
cant wait to get my nitrous on here, should be looking at some solid low 12s just as it sits
oh yeah that was in 70 degree florida weather...

i think i could pull mid 1.7s on the slicks, maybe even low 1.7s which should put me at 13.4ish, and i granny shifted cause it was my first run on the slicks and the hook kinda shocked me and i forgot what i was doing, bounced off the rev limiter a couple times in first, trapped mid 81s on the 1/8th, thats my highest all motor

That leaves me with a midpipe and crawford cats. Midpipe... bleh for performance. Sure, I lost some weight, but the 05 stock midpipe was already less than half the mass of the 04(just a guess, haven't weighed them). And just yesterday you said the crawfords were dyno proven to not do anything. In fact, they might have lost power. So you want me to take off my cats when you come down??
just kidding of course. Poking fun.

Your on stock 18's as well right? DaveB you on 17's or 16'? You just started going to the track recently with a 6spd. DaveB has been going to the track for years and years.
A 6spd would really blow a 5at away at highway speeds.Damn with some MT or even light weight 17's you would really fly!

I'm on the Sport 17" 5 spokes (weighed in at 46lbs on my scale), I've run my "slow" 03 sedan 5AT down the track 10 times total (that's 10 passes), the car has a Z-pipe, best is a 14.32@97.8mph 2.15 60 foot on EL42s, it's done four 14.4s, two 14.3s, has trapped over 98mph on two runs, and DA conditions equaled close to sea level and not negative 1,700 feet. I have no idea what I'll run at Trey's track; however, we'll find out in February.

On nitrous, you were gaining 21.5mph. Most stock 6MTs see 21.5-22mph in the last 1/8 and with mods they see about 22-22.5mph. It's hard to compare an NA auto G vs one with nitrous the reason being the NA auto is ideally geared for the 1/4 mile where as the nitrous G isn't and is forced to shift to 3rd. I figure my auto can attain about 101mph in 3rd before tapping the limiter. I tap the limiter about 100 feet (hard to gauge during the race) after the finish. With another 20whp, I should be set for optimal gearing, but it more power is added and I trap higher than 100-101mph, I'll have to change my plan of attack.

i guess thats really what i meant

yeah the auto would probably get pulled a car or two after 100 is my guess

That should net low 13s pretty easily. I've always had a place in my heart for the 5.0 Stang and IMO, it's the true muscle car of my generation (I'm 31). Another possibility is a 96-97 Camaro SS 6MT.

I had 5 13.8's, and 1 13.7. Here are the 1/8th and 1/4th et's and traps
9.04@80.19 / 13.896@101.31 with a 2.157 sixty
8.987@79.59 / 13.812@102.23 with a 2.129 sixty
9.015@79.45 / 13.854@101.53 with a 2.156 sixty
8.979@79.95 / 13.791@102.22 with a 2.139 sixty
8.986@80.82 / 13.805@102.07 with a 2.165 sixty
8.983@79.73 / 13.809@101.89 with a 2.151 sixty
When I was running at the 1/8 track, DaveB and others recommended using a multiplication factor of either 1.55 or 1.54. The average factors for these times is 1.53671.
And on those runs, I gained an *average* of 21.92 mph. That tells me I've got decent top-end.

Had 16 runs.
9 runs with traps > 100.
8 runs with 2.1 60 foots.
1 run with a 2.100 sixty foot, but I missed a shift on that run, so who knows what my ET would have been.
5 runs of 13.8 ET's.
Best trap of the night: 103.16.
So, a 13.791@102.22 at roughly 25 degrees. I'm sure that's a negative density altitude, so even in "perfect" conditions, my times would be adjusted *up*. Screw that. A 13.791 is still a 13.7 to me.
So, am I going to get better times? Not in my current trim. And especially not on my all-season street tires.
Tire pressure:
31.5 in the rears
Mods:
ztube
k&n drop-in filter
350z midpipe
