Default What would be my best time

Hi Guys,

I have just started taking my ute down to the motorplex for a few runs, The best i have managed so far is 13.9@102mph with a 2.2 60ft. Its an auto as well

My Mods are as follows:
BPT CAI // Power Pipe // Helix Spacer//Pacemaker Headers & dual 2 1/2 piping with S/S muffler// K&N Pod filter//BPT Generic Edit (98 ron tune)

Without changing Diff gears, Stall converter, or running slicks (these are all in the pipeline) what would be the best run i could get. id like to hear from guys, with similar ute and specs if possible. Im running 235/45/17 falkens @ 32psi. I know pressure can come down, what would be a suitable pressure? There are only 3 meets left for the year so im not going to go out 2morro and buy new stuff, hopefully i can get these done during the off season here.

Thanks in Advance

Cheers

Don't drop the pressure in the street rubber to much it'll hurt you. What mph were you running. If you could nail a 2.0sec 6o ft time you'll probally run a 13.5/13.6

You should do better then that.

Im running 14 flat, with 2.2 60' footers....with the mods below.

Mines a sedan too.

Probably get it dynoed cause it doesnt sound like its making the power.....I dynoed mine without the filter & powerpipe and got 190rwkw now I'd say its a bit over 200rwkw.

MPH trap speed indicates that in a perfect run you should run 12.94. THe equation is striplength(1320 ft) divided by MPH (102) = 12.94
