VE 1/4 mile times only data base. - Part 1

[whi739]

no all good mate i,ve had a t400 in my vx for a while now had 3.7s now 3.45s with 27.3 inch tall tyre to pick mph!!! little different with turbo and much more power!!!!! anyway get that 60 ft into the low 1.5s and low low 11s are there!!!! cheers

thanks mate, yh cant wait to actually get the launches right

Why is the T400 sooo much better than the A6 when it comes to drag racing? A6s also have good stall converters now and the ratios are nice and short ... strange.

The reason i went the th400 is one that it was cheaper and easier to do as my car was already manual and turbo 400's are a mechanical gearbox so no electronics just full manual shift. The A6 i would need all the wiring redone to the auto wiring and also i have seen to many bad reports with built a6's and didnt want to risk it, yes there are ones that are goin well but thought i would just go with the th400 and not risk the chance of wasting all that money.

Also with drag racing i think the th400 works well is because it is manually shifted and works great where as the A6 is electronically shifter and have to rely on the electronics to be perfect

1/4 et: 11.39
1/4 mph: 119mph

First time out in an auto after only picking it up 48hrs ago and driving it for the first time and also first time driving on slicks....pretty damn happy as it has more in it and I wasnt stalling it up much.
Big thanks to the guys at TMS(Townsville Mechanical Service)

Anyone had a run at Kwinana since Whoop Ass Wednesday has been back?

[dyno junkie]

Yes I've been down there, however they are still using the long 60' for Wednesday nights.

hey champ what do you mean by long 60' ??

[dyno junkie]

There is two sets of start lines.
The one closest to the tree is the correct one and is 60' to the tree.
There is also another start line that is about a metre before the correct start line, this is the one that is used on Wednesday nights usually.

[sportwagon]

Ive been told all andra tracks use a false startline soposidly to protect the real startline from damage.

[69terra69]

okay i see what you mean so that isnt goin to effect 60' times ?? I'm assuming they just bring all the sensors back a meter

[dyno junkie]

No, the tree stays in the same place but the start line is further back.
ie: the 60' is longer and so is the track longer than 1,320'.

Most ive spoken to say it adds between 1 and 1.5 tenths of a second,bummer if u consistantly run 12.0 to 12.10 and are trying to crack an 11.

I think you are a bit off the mark there. If you are running 180kmh you will cross the line doing 50 metres a second. Therefore for every metre the track is longer will add 0.02 of a second. Not significant at this level of racing.

My best so far is 13.4 @105 MPH

I got my info from a couple of old drag racers who run in superstreet and also with us on a wednesday, 1 of them has a car that runs 10.9 in superstreet but they said they cant break sub 11 on a wednsesday as the extra 1.5 meters goes on ur 60 foot times just what ive been told never tested it myself.

Do you have a tune for your bolt ons? If not, a tune and some 20psi rear tyres might get you what your after. Otherwise a 3.27 LSD diff will get you there.
