Okay, so this is with the "dynolicious" software on my Ipod Touch, and was my best 60' time out of 4 runs, the others were all in the 2.3x range. Anyone use "dynolicious" and know if the 60' time is accurate? That seems awfully poor from what I've seen around, and I didn't really even spin much at all, just a brief squeak. I had it in 1st gear, traction control off, about 1300 rpms, etc. It was on relatively new Continental tires (yeah, I know everyone seems to think they suck but they were new on the car when I got it not long ago), in the middle of a highway that looks flat but who knows. I did a few 1/4 runs (all starting from about the same spot), and they were all about the same.

I was pleased with the 0-60 time: 4.88 seconds; does that jive with the 60' time? It said that 1/4 mile was 13.18@109.9 mph.

The only mod I have on the car is the NW dual CAI, and like I said I can't guarantee the road was perfectly flat so the 1/4 time doesn't really mean anything. I'm mainly going to use this as a comparison since there's no dyno or 1/4 track in town. I still haven't put on my code3 pulley yet (also waiting on the Rev attachment to get before/after boost readings, etc.).

60' 2.29sec@31.4mph
330' 5.78sec@66.5mph
1/8 mile 8.66sec@84.6mph
1000' 11.12sec@101.4mph
1/4 mile 13.18sec@109.9mph

 

Cool figures. Are there any easy tuning for the N/A to improve performance? what is the 0-60 for the N/A?

 

Bill,

The only thing I can see to use as a gauge would be your 1/4mile MPH. The 109.9mph (if 100% accurate) is good for a 12.6ish run I would guess...So I would say its generally off a bit.

I have DynoStorm (dynolicious for BB) but haven't gotten the chance to test it at the track yet...maybe I'll do that in a couple weeks.

 

That would be a 12.6ish with a good 60' time I imagine, not a 2.29.

 

I understand that, I was more inferring that the whole table may be off a bit...If you actually did get a 2.29 60', and that is 100% accurate, then you are looking at a 13.2 or slower...I was just going off the fact you said you didn't have much spin.

 

so is there any comparison between average track prep and a decent highway, as far as ability to launch?

1/2 second isn't that long in real time, so who knows, I may have spun for 1/2 second or so

I saw a video that compared dynolicious to their track runs and the 60' time was within a few hundredths

 

a prepped track can really do wonders for hooking the tires on a launch. i normally launch somewhere between 1600-1800RPMs at the track... if I do that on the street... and hit the gas pedal like I do on the track, I would go severly sideways with a good bit of smoke...

hell I go sideway even if I dont stage the car on teh street and just mash the pedal...so in short, yes, track prep is huge...

 

But crappy track prep can actually be worse than the street.

 

touché ... that is a good point... but i will assume that every track in the world is perfectly prepped...to eliminate variables to one thing...


a well prepped track will in fact help your launch a great deal.

 

Come to Silver Dollar Raceway in Reynolds Ga., and you will never make that assumption again. lol

 

I've gotten spoiled since I've moved to NJ with Atco, Etown, and MIR all within decent driving distance.

 

I guess I shouldn't complain. At least SDR has not banned me from running on their poorly prepped track because I am driving a roadster. I just need to get me some DRs to equalize the situation a little.

 

This was around midnight, so it was probably 45 degrees maybe. I guess for now I'll assume it was a combination of cold weather and all-season street tires on the street that limited my 60' time, instead of just not being able to drive ... until proven otherwise at the track at least
