So my mods are in the sig... My car has been 15.2 with the DA of about 7000 ft. So here is my story.
(For those that dont know the correction for that type of alltitude to sea level in a N/A car is about 1.2-1.3 sec)
It went 15.220 @ 90.6 mph with a 2.33 60ft (does this seem right?)
with a bad converter
sun shell sun gear
and planetary
timming set at http://foxbodyforum.com/Smileys/classic/huh2.gif?
and 85 octane gas
with over a 1/4 tank of gas
Full weight
1st round of fixes:
Rebuild the converter and go to a non lock up (TCI Comp converter & Harden input shaft)
replace sun gear sun shell planetary and the pump bearings and seals (the rest of the tranny was fine with upgraded clutches steels bands and A+ servo TCI shift kit)
Fix and bump timing
93 octane fuel
also installed a LM-1 wideband
--------------------------- As of this weekend is where I will be
2nd round
TUNE!!!! I was told after ^ the above and a N/A tune My car would be in the high 13s
I will be getting a tune 1 of 3 ways Tweecer PMS or Diablo Delta Chip dyno tuned
100-150 Wet nitrous setup
MT drag radials
So I figure:
After I get the 1st round done I should be some where in the high 14s with good track and better air.
After A tune in the high 13s
Then 150 wet shot mid 12's WITH M/T DR
Also That 7000 ft was just a bad day... but happens alot ill see anywhere from 7000+ ft DA to about 4800+ ft DA.
So most my guess on times are running right about 5500 ft DA where the correction for N/A cars is about 1 sec and once the nitrous is added the Correction is about .3-.5 of a sec. (just like all boosted cars.
So on a 150 wet shot my car should pic up between 1.5 sec to 2 sec So if all goes well I might be able to dip into the 11s
