If you are at close or close to seal level and with with good atmosphere conditions, you should sub 15 sec times.

 

Well I ran it today. Wasnt as good as I wanted, But I dont know how to launch yet, and I had 3/4 tank of gas. it might be the elevation too. just didnt think it was that bad. An 03 ss was running 16.7 so that made me feel better.

Fallon, NV
Elevation 4500approx
Top Gun Raceway
85 Degrees

reaction .405
60' 2.520
330' 6.963
1/8 10.615
1/8mph 68.622
1/4 16.380
1/4mph 84.182

 

I'm glad I live at sea level!

 

Man.... that elevation is killing your times.

 

That comes out to roughly

1/4mile: 15.57
MPH: 88.56

This based on a 4000' elevation which is what I found the track to be.


Definately 14sec capable if you could get the 60' down into the low 2.2 range Maybe look into some sticky tires and a stall converter eventually then stickier tires Hahaha

 

F8LPONY, you ever come out to Fallon? Yeah I havent ran the WS6 yet, so much for being in the 12's here with what I am running . I just have to decide on an intake and exhaust for the Silverado. Whats the sea level in Sac??


Erick

 

my 00 5.3 with a open diff, crappy tires. and 3.42 went 14.8 with I/e/pulley.

 

Nah, never been there. I just did a search for the track so I could make sure the #s I gave you were as accurate as possible

Sac is either 50' or 500' above sea level. I can't remember. It is the fastest track in Cali at this time. It is also probably one of the most ghetto but it's ok. Hehehe

 

So whats they best way to launch. I have been holding the brake, giving enough gas, but not enough to spin the tires. I take off in the middle of the third light. Is this right or Am I way off????



Pony,

I will have to get ahold of you when I finally get a chance to head that way..
Ghetto is better than nothing.

 

Sounds good mate! I am president of Norcal-LS1/LT1 also so I can introduce you to all the F-body guys up here too. Just let me know when you plan on heading this way.

Your lauch technique would be perfect if you had slicks. On street tires you are going to have to feather the pedal a bit. Start by having your foot on the gas and other on brake and just barely bring your rpms up a bit. Then as soon as the 2nd amber light goes out let off the brake and start to slowly press the gas down in a nice even way till it is floored. Don't just mash it. You shouldn't spin the tires that way. Then you can practice pressing the gas faster and faster till you do get spin. Then you will start learning the art of pedaling it.
