The official "Post your best 1/4 mile time" thread.

[DV2000NJ]

Just like the title says, post your best 1/4 mile times. If you haven't run at the track, go do it, it's insanely fun.

My best, was 17.873 @ 78.60 mph.

According to Justin when he was tuning my truck, my MAF sensor was reading about 20% lower than it should have been, and that I was bordering on throwing a lean code. With that compensated for, the truck is running MUCH better. I'm going back to the track on Wednesday to try to improve. With the tune, temps hopefully well below 90, less weight in the truck, and lighter tires that'll hook better, I'm hoping to get low 17s. Unrealistically, I'd love to see a 16 on there somewhere too, but methinks that's a bit unlikely.

So what's your best?

13.7 @ 102. Looking into a converter to get some low 13's/high 12's. It should be in the mid 13's on motor, but it will need some traction bars or caltracs. This should happen by early October at the latest.

Quoted so you can't change your mind.

No more mind changing!! I should have got a damn converter before the N20 kit (bang head).

According to Dynolicious it was 13.86 on one run and 14.1 the other...

Dude, if your truck was reading 20% low on the MAF it's going to run incredibly lean and with the wrong timing value. Just gaining back that power, and running a hotter tune... I don't see why you wouldn't run in the 16s. It doesn't take much to better your time when you are up there.

The best I ever ran was a 13.6 @ 106.5 MPH with a crappy 60'. I couldn't launch the car, so it was either bog city (low compression turbo 4-cyl != powerhouse below 3000 RPM) or burnout fiesta.

I think my M3 would run about a mid to low 14. It's fun, but not going to win much drag racing.

I forgot to mention. ACTUAL 1/4 mile times.

Kidding, but those companies can say they're as accurate as they want, but I'll never believe any calculator, simulator, or anything else.

I hope so, but I'm trying to under-estimate where I'll be, so I'm "happy" with whatever I get, and "surprised" with anything out of the 17s.

What vehicle was the turbo-4 in?

So probably 15.1 in real life.

naw j/k dynolicious is pretty close when calibrated.
