Tested my Stage II computer

[Coach]

I couldn't wait to get to the track to test my new computer. It was 97 degrees with a heat index of 108 so I didn't know what to expect. My best from before was a 13.58 this Spring when it was 40 degrees. I ran a 13.57 in this heat. Anybody have any ideas on how many tenths difference the heat made. My 60 ft was a 2.06, my best yet!

My guess is that cooler weather would shave 3 maybe 4 full seconds off your time...LOL!!! I'm only teasing, I have no idea, but it does sound like you picked up some performance!

 

[Nowwhat]

the difference between 40 degrees and 97 degress at Sea level given all other factors are equal would be about 6 tenths, but with the 40 degree temp you loose some traction....

 

[Coach]

On the 40 degree day most of my passes were in the 13.8-14.2 because all it would do was sit and spin untill I let the gas off. Today it would hardly spin off the line. The shift from 1st to 2nd has a lot more kick to it now! I think the Stage II has given me some better power. I highly recommend it for people that have money left over and are wondering what to do with it.

I would think if you had the Cal-Vu's it wold be worth a few tenth's.....Nice run.....love the stage ll (B) version....it rock's!

 

[Blakewilder]

If you had a 100 shot you would be mid 12's

If you lose 2 of our 4 cats and get a CAI, you could get a 12.71 at 108.39 in 40Fs weather. Flying Low did.

I got a 12.997 at 106.45 in 40Fs weather with K&N CAI, Magnaflow Catback and Boomers Stage II PCM.

Adding the headers and Hi Flow cat mids got me a 12.978 at 107.55 in 71F.

Coach -

Before and After MPH is a much more accurate way to determine performance increases. ET's can vary in so many different ways you can't really tell.


Though, I will guess that a nice 40-50 degree day will get you another 3-5 mph more than what you just ran. :rock: With cool temps and traction, you could definitley have a low, low 13 second truck as it sits now!

 

[OCBob]

I never ran mine without the flash, but with it I pulled a 13.3 with the temps in the 70's or so if I remember right (which I often don't LOL).

 

[Viper7777]

ouch Nowwhat, just .6 tenths. Thought it be a tad more allmost a 1.0 i was guessing. Hes loosing what a good 20 to 40 hp because of the temp outside ? 108 heat index is pretty brutal. its amazing how cars never self ignite and blow up lol.

heatsoak is a muther *

6 tenths gives him a 13 second truck with just a Flash.....gotta be happy with that.....

 

[Viper7777]

This is true

 

[Get Bit]

Good results considering the brutal heat. What was your MPH now versus before the Flash? I have the Magnaflow exhaust and panel filter on the way, Flash is next! I have a pesky SRT-8 Charger that I would like to give a run for the money! I do not want my folks to have one up on me! LOL

Not following you around

G..B.. I'm really not following your threads around...I'm no stalker, ( just replied to your Tow/Haul question )

I didn't know you were not reflashed......it is the best thing you can have done....Once that was done is when I saw the advantage of the T/H button....

 

[Get Bit]

LOL, no problem, thanks for your help!

 

[Coach]

I knew the times wouldn't be the greatest because of the heat, but I just had to try the flash out. My top speed was 102.7. I'll be happy if I can pull a 12.99 off this fall when it cools down again. I really like the new flash!:rock:

 

[Dave T(BADVENM)]

Damn, if you guys can pull 12.99 with just a flash I'd love to guess what I could do with a properly running Paxton and good air (at 5900 feet).

13.01..........

I think you can expect at least 106mph traps speeds once the cool weather comes back (50's-low 60's anyway), which should be plenty to get you into the 12's, with traction. JMHO.
