Thoughts on my first 1/4 mile runs with the DPB

[gdsqdcr]

So the temperature today was not good for racing ... But the wife gave me today.

Mods: 4.10, K&N, zack tune, UDP's, MagnaFlows

Best run of the night: 14.624 @ 94.72. Temp was 92, humidity was 6, and barometer was 30.23.

I averaged 14.8, around 95 for the evening.

My times seemed slower than what I expected but folks at the track said the temp could play a major factor in it.


For comparison ...
I saw a 2012 stock GT mustang running low 13's all night. The 4 door R/T chargers were running mid 14's consistently.

I ran a 14.7 at 95 with tune and cai. Temp at night was around mid 80's

One of the hottest days of the year thus far in Tracy 104-105. I say low 14s in the fall:) Good run though Anthony!

Lower temps = lower ETs.

In higher temps and humidity, I can't break out of the 14's. When the temps are in the 50s and 60's I run 13s all day. I refuse to race in the summer for this reason.

All in all, I had a crap load of fun! The night was about having some fun, getting a base line for future mods and actually finding out what the car can run.

Based on your guys feedback, I am happy with the results. I will likely head back near the end of the season to see what it will do in the cooler weather. Maybe 13's are in future, yeah right! Gotta dream big!

Put that into perspective. You saw dodge charger R/T's with 5.7L V-8's running basically the same times your lil 4.6L V-8 was running.

Just think about that for a sec.

Given the heat that you were running in, you should be happy with those times.

^^Yup considering 5.0 run high 12 stock; guy in the mustang club ran 12.7 in an auto bone stock.

O I am happy. Plus it was just fun.

However, never thought about the 5.7 Hemi's ... and little o'le me. Good TIMES!
