12.7@107 is so good that it makes me wonder if he was actually headed for a higher mph but started losing power at the end due to heat soak. My Mitsu ran a high 1.6 60' at its best and I never ran in the 12.7s with less than 109mph.

Tyler and AcidLotus, do you guys have timeslips you can post up of your best runs so we can compare?

I would love to know how your 1000' and 1/8 miles compare, to see if he was in fact losing power at the end, and how it stacks up against my best run, to see if the launch is really my only issue, or if I am also having timing pulls (my logs didn't look like it though).

1.7s 60' is killer on non DR's, about as good as it gets.

I'm definitely in for next Wednesday as long as the weather is good, which it looks like it will be so far. Probably be more people since its the last week of the season, but that's ok.

you spent so much money on the mods and still slower than him

Well, I didn't do the AWD mod yet....that's my problem. And I believe you did all those mods too (except intercooler) and were WAY slower.

edit: here are King Modes time slips (sorry for the size, my phone is ancient, hard to get the pics off that he sent)

Craig - have you thought about a 2nd gear launch? You definitely have enough torque now to more than make up for the shorter first gear. Might help with wheel spin (and one less shift). Sort of a 5-speed manual with an extra tall first gear...

raceyBMW · 10-05-2012, 07:13 PM

You know, I haven't tried it yet, but it seems to bog a bit more...I will still try 1st gear next time out because of the LSD, but I might also give a 2nd gear launch a shot if I am still spinning (which I may if the temps are cool enough).

King Mode, looks like its the launch mainly that's getting you...work on that launch!!! AcidLotus stays consistently ahead the whole time

King mode · 10-05-2012, 09:00 PM

I believe the extra 20 or so hp helps his launch.

AcidLotus · 10-05-2012, 10:44 PM

Are there any AWD dynos in Colorado? I'm kind of interested in what I'm putting down.

King mode · 10-05-2012, 11:10 PM

Mac and carz and Harvey up north.

forza1976 · 10-06-2012, 01:03 AM

Mac is a joke for FI cars. 25% correction factor. Epic overstatement, don't waste your time or money like I did with them.

They also have tons of experience with Cobb.

Just use the uncorrected numbers, should be similar to any other uncorrected dynojet numbers at this elevation.

Yeah, got that but it's still not accurate because none of the outside factors are taken into account. Plain and simple.

^^^ I've heard that with mac
