I went down to Island Dragway in NJ today and had a great time.. It was so much fun..Except I expected to atleast break the 15's... Is this normal for my car with the mods in my sig? my best run was:


R/T = .666
60' = 2.396
330 = 6.656
1/8 = 10.112
MPH = 71.31
1000 = 13.082
1/4 = 15.599
MPH = 88.76


The traction sucked, I set my tires at 20psi and did a burnout [without the waterbox] for this run.
Again, is this normal?

If you get that 60 lower it will help big time........I would think with the gears and stall you would have broken into the 14's.......

Id say mid 14's, not even high 14's.

Does the traction also kill MPH? Because that is **** mph too.

60' 1/8 mph 1/4 mph
2.27 9.746 73.83 15.09 93.77

3k converter, mac-h, flowmasters 11* timing, k&n I ran this. that is with stock 3.27s.

I know my car, since it is a coupe is a little lighter, but your gears i think should help big time

Well what RPM did you go through the traps at? IM thinking you should be about 4-5 tenths quicker than that, all it takes is practice. I ran my best time at Island...HAHA im not sure why, but somehow. Maybe we can meet up at a test and tune one day at either island or etown and get some practice runs in.

One thing I forgot to mention last night.....I'm not 100% on this but I thought I was told that when you switch the gears in our AODE's that you have to tune the EEC for shift points.........look into that with a more informed person.....

I don't know if is hurting the trans ......but I know your leaving something off of the table......I have 3:73's and noticed a change in the shifts after the SCT tune by Don 95vert........I don't know about the tweecer.......... but Shawn has a aode and a tweecer....he may be able to guide you through it......

should definately have more in it...mine went 14.7@95 w/ just exhaust and of course aode too....I would think mod-low 14's for a vert. Does the car feel like it's running smooth as it should or does it hesitate any? I dunno man....

That could be a problem;at what RPM is it shifting? Do you have the 23 white tooth gear in the tranny?

With the setup that i have now i bang off the rev limiter when going from a stop so i would say a tune would really help you and you also have more gear then me.
