maybe ill just go get a 5 gallon fuel can and have that as my go home gas...

 

ya i put up the wrong time slip because i couldn't find the other one where I ran the 14.386... what you see in the video was my 2nd best time i ran that night. My best run was a 14.376 that night but unfortunately i have no video of it, but have the timeslip for that run, which you see in the video. Also i was in S mode without using the paddles for my best run. Weight reduction helped a lot, i would suggest taking out the passenger seat and the rear seats, along with the spare tire.

 

I made that pass with a full interior + a full tank of fuel I probably weighed 175-250 pounds more then you... that explains a bit.
well I'm going to try to go again this Friday so ill see what I can do. when I ditch the interior and run with an 1/8 tank of fuel.

 

The DA has a lot to do with times. Every track is different and every day is different.

 

DA??? Air density?

 

Density altitude. Acts as if an elevation change.

 

Yep...DA is a calculated altitude based on various factors (humidity, baro pressure, temp, elevation, etc). It is meant to be sort of an equalizer to be able to give an apples to apples comparison of times from different tracks in different climates. You can plug your numbers into a DA calculator and figure out what you would have most likely run under ideal conditions.

 

...when do we see Ken B on Street Outlaws challenging Asian and his dung beetle!?

 

lol, I have to get in line. They have challenged Alex from Humble Performance already, it should air this coming season.

 

I see low 14's here all day, maybe you guys should sell your tune.

 

Wow Ken. You seem really upset? What gives? What times did you run with all those mods? You seem to have a chip on your shoulder for me. You seem to forget I'm stock exhaust and intercooler.

 

Do I need less mods?

 

I haven't ran the car with the new turbo. My old RDX has been on Jack stands till last night, parts were being developed for this platform..

 

Seems like you discovered fire and I'm setting over here with electricity...

 

Well I do love playing with fire. Been playing with fire since a kid. It's quite warm. So why are you upset?

 

I'm good bra.

read into this what you will i ran a 13.677 @ 101.07

 

maybe next season ill be in the 12s that would be nuts right!?!?!?!

 

the awd still lets us spin the front tires... from a 25 roll i can light em up in a big way if i was going to swap my trans the next day i could probably keep it going into second gear...

 

I have an extra trans to build

 

contributing factors as to why i didn't run faster...
loose intake manifold bolts cylinder #4 wasn't getting the same air fuel charge as the rest and i was leaking boost...

could have been a contributing factor as to why i didn't build boost at the line. and why my 60 foot sucked...
also installed new plugs gaped to .028 factory gap is .035 seems to run a bit better.

 

Yeah, Yeah. Drag strip is finish, now it's time to test out that sway bar. You should hit the circuit, much more fun. I think they some really cool there where you are too. Check them out, unless you just like going in a straight line..

 

That's probably why you dropped a couple mph too

 

yep

 

need that BBK in my life first.
