My Trick Flow' @ the Track!!

OK, right away with the slip then PLEASE read the stuff after!

Temp....89 deg
Hum.....43
Baro....30..11

60'......2.263
330.....5.904
1/8......8.911
MPH.....82.44
1000...11.501
1/4......13.697
MPH.....102.88

My numbers were basically 13.7-14.0 @ 102's

Not good numbers right? Not where they should be right? There was strong wind coming in against us but I dont know exactly how strong. I talked to MANY people about their times and they all seemed lower. An LT4 camaro ran 14.7 @ 97. I saw stock LS1 camaro's and firebirds trapping 98-101. This guy in C5 showed me his slips and he ran 14.2's @ 98 and 100 and then 13.7 @ 101. My friends 95 6spd LT1 camaro was running 14.6-14.9 @ 96 and he has a few bolt ons. My other friends automatic 93 LT1 Z28 was running 14.6-14.9 @ 94-95 and my brothers 96 Z28 running 14.6's @ 95-96. Those too being slightly modded. Also my friends 99 Cobra was runnig 14.0-14.2 @ 97-99. This guy with a 98 GT 5spd with pullies and other small boltons was showed me his slips of 15.2 @ 90 and 15.0 @ 91. I saw LS1's dialing in at 14.9!!
All I know I SMIZZZOKED 3 cobra's ('93, '98, '99) and a C5 Corvette!!!

So, What do you guys think? Is it typical for a track to throw out so low numbers on off days like that? BTW Sears Point is at sea level last I heard.

All your mods and your only running 13.6 :confused: :confused: You are high 12s easy. dood that track is messed.

i run high 12's on regular street tires, you should be right around there i would think.

I'm not gonna give you the "I run faster w/ less" speech like others have, instead, i'm gonna help. You have all the right mods and supporting fuel mods too. Here goes: How was your timing? You should be running about 18* initial w/ good 93 octane. What is your FP? Is it dropping under wot or is it nice and steady? It should go to where you set it w/ the vacuum off. Is your fuel filter on the right way? Reason I ask is because mine was on backwards and I was only running 102 trap speeds at best. Put a new filter on the right way and now trap 106.50 as my best.

Did you run on a street tire? With your mods, a spinning street tire is gonna slow you down, though some will say spinning doesnt effect mph, I have found it does. What were you shifting at and were you shifting good?

If you have the $$ take it to a good dyno and use a wideband a/f meter to tune it. My best time/mods are in sig.

Streetstang, you're a 12.6-12.7 car w/ those mods and that trap (slightly lower than where it could be). I'm assuming w/ the 2.2 60' that you were on street tires........get a dyn tune and slicks and you'll hit 12's all day.

so i guess its normal for '02 LS1 C5's to trap 98, 100, 101? I think my car was running right, just horrible track conditions. I yanked hard passed those cobras and walked that C5.
