Good Lord, these cars are fast. Very nice.

What's the best place to buy a dragy?

Rjames18 just ran 8.9 @ 156mph on 13 psi twin turbo LPF kit. Probably for a lot less $ than you have in your GTR.

that's exatly why I wanna sell it, maintenance is expensive also.

The dragy 60-130 mph times would be significantly slower if the cars actually started the run @ 60 mph. They are a little BS with the running start imo. Very popular with the high hp front drive and awd crowd. Not saying a 800-1000 whp is slow by any means either...

for me its indication how powerful the car is. It will show how the car will do from the roll as well taking a lot of variables out when talking dig start.

Yeah... I started from 59 when I did mine.. It was slower than my quarter mile time so I figured most numbers I've seen were when the car was accelerating already.

Everyone is doing 60-130 runs from below 60 mph, even from a dig. If they didn't want you to use a rolling start from below 60, they wouldn't validate the pass if you started below 60 mph. But they do validate those passes because that's the point of the metric.

I get that it focusses on the roll showing more the cars actual power versus driver skill. My point is assuming you have traction (heated tires, awd, etc.) the sooner you hit it the better time your going to have right? Take same car with traction again at 30 mph roll versus 55 mph roll? Any running start momentum is helping imo.

You're correct that starting from 30 would benefit you (assuming you get full traction and boost by 60 mph). That's why everyone does it lol. Starting from 60 or close to it is hurting your times and it's intended to be that way.

Lol. That’s why it’s a little Gimmicky too me. The cars with absolute traction and lowest start mph have an advantage in that particular metric. It’s not a true start from 60 to 130 mph time. Wonder if there is a way to program a 55-58 mph required window to start as another metric?

I’m sure nobody runs down hill either... ;).

That's what I meant by validating. If you have >1% downward slope, the run is marked invalid.

They don't. The dragy app won't validate the run if there is elevation change.

60mph - 130mph = 7.99 seconds as of yesterday

Edelbrock 2.65 TVS on 93 octane w/3" pulley only 11* of spark and 100* ambient temps so not the best of times, but only one I have access too right now.

It was 7.67 back when I had the stock TB and intake in cooler weather with 15* of spark(dyno'd 638whp). So this new set up should be quicker, just haven't logged any pulls in decent weather yet.

Any idea why the low timing? 100* is hot but I'm just curious/asking as it's lower than I see at similar temps. Positive knock?
