whats a good quarter mile time

[vipertruckkid1544]

i went to the track the other night and the best time that i could get was a 14.02. the only mods that are done is a CAI, short throw, and magnaflow. i was running on stock tires and it was around 80 degrees out. do these numbers seem to be right. i feel like it should be faster but im the only one around here that runs the truck so i cant base it off anything else. my truck also has around 90 thousand miles on it. would this slow it down? my next mission is to buy a set of drag radials and a smaller rim. anyone on here find a pretty good set up? that would help out alot. thanks

Are u a qc or rc?

 

[br549]

a good track time is anytime you can drive home and have not broken anything

seems okay, my RC with just exhaust ran a 13.2 in similar temperature

It totally depends on your Density Altitude. For example, I recently ran a 14.16. That sounds slow until you correct for D.A. (7094'). My corrected time was 12.89.

i got a 2004 rc. and im in cincinnati so im about 600 feet about sea level

This is probably a quick Google lookup type deal, but what's the formula for adjusting your time base on the D.A?

That is a link to my run. Here is a link to the OP's corrected run:

That time seems about right for someone taking a stockish truck out for the first time.

Iran 13.6 at 102 my mods are maggnaflow cat back and a k&n cold air intake and I got 41 k miles and I ran on stock tires.

I ran a 13.1 @ 107 with my first truck when it was stock, but that was in March at Atco several years ago. I just ran my current truck last Friday at Numidia and it went 13.9 @ 100. Varying weather conditions will cause the time to change drastically.

Don't want you to feel bad but my 2000 ford expedition with a K&N and exhaust has run significantly faster on stock rubber.
























Oh...and a few other minor mods.

This is very true. A soccer mom suv... But it serves it purpose well.

I apologize to the OP but I was just being a smart a$$.:banghead: Mine has obviously been modified.

Seriously...being a manual tranny and high hp with limited traction ...driving skills is very important to e.t. You will only improve with practice and certainly drag radials would help if you are having difficulty getting traction.

E.t. by itself is not very telling. It was asked earlier but 60' and mph would tell a lot more.
