Curious about 1/4 mile

7up · 04-29-2002, 10:05 PM

I was just curious if anyone had any idea on what my 1/4 mile is right now. I have never taken my car to the track and The closest track to me is about 2 hours away and at 6000 feet. My mods are listed in my sig.

Also what should I do next? I was thinking of long tube headers and high flow cats(we have serious emissions in Colorado)?

All ideas much appreciated

hey, ive got a question, how loud is that a trim, and how much power did you notice when you put it in?

thanks

The A-trim isn't that loud. I actually thought it would be louder before I put it in. THe most I notice it is when it's just idleing and it kind of whistles. I could hear it more, or hear air being sucked in when I got my mass air. If it's cold outside it is also louder and you can hear it whining at high rpms. I haven't had a chance to hear it from the outside while it was driving.

I noticed quite a bit of power when I put it in. They advertise 70 hp gain. When it is cold outside 40 degrees or lower you really notice it. I had a Supra turbo before, a 90 with the single turbo and I thought it would feel like a turbo, but it really doesn't. It is a lot smoother acceleration than a turbo, it doesn't kick in all of the sudden. That might be because it is only 5 psi.

I was very happy with the a-trim although I would love to have higher boost, I couldn't afford it.

cant you upgrade the pulley for 11psi???

i bet you could go low 13s???

You can upgrade it to 8 with pulley, I don't know about 11. I think You can also upgrade it to an s-trim for $600.

Hey I would say 13.00 to 13.60 I raced a few cars at Bandmiere. I think that is the track you are talking about! now down here where you and your car can breath I think you will drop almost a second off that !! By the way go AVS, killed the kings ,up next san jose, then on to detroit>

Yeah I am talking about Bandmiere. Go Av's!!!

Well guessing that you have a stick shift I'm gonna have to say mid to low 13's. Traction is always a problem too. You can have all the HP in the world but if you can't hook it will do no good. Good luck and post your times when you get them.

...another vote for mid to low 13s. I have a friend with a S-trim@8 lbs and he runs 12.8s at 108 or 109. Sounds like an awesome car. Definitely let us know when you do eventually take it to the track.
