What am I doing wrong? Check out my 1/4 time
I have a 335 coupe auto and my mods are V3, DCI and no secondary cats and 93 oct.
I ran the 1/4 a few times and kept getting the same time which is 13.2 @ 106 and my 60 foot was 2.0 What am I doing wrong? I should get between 12.5-12.8 @ around 110-112 My tire pressure was 25 psi and it was around 70 degrees out |

Well, you are very consistent if you got the same time over and over. 60 ft looks good too. It sounds like your car is running just fine, and 13.2 is pretty quick, so I don't see a problem. Unless you are saying that other people with V3 are in the 12s trapping at 110-112? But you do have an automatic, so you have to take into account that you are giving up some power compared to a 6MT.

I been to the track with just Dinan cat back and K&N... Only 2x's on a track. went from a no launch, full gear - 14.392@102.68. To a 2nd run of 13.51 @ 104.37, Shifting at 6,250, and a 2K launch. Traction off both times. Shifting early made a huge difference, even though The Visnu should keep spoolin.

Are you getting tire slippage at the launch? Most of the 1/4 mile runs are made or broken with the launch. I would wager you should be in around 12.8s or lower with those mods. And you should be shifting at around 6200-6400 rpm to stay at peak power..

You have to also factor in humidity, track elevation changes ...
What would be a good baseline to see is for you to uninstall the PROcede for a few runs and see what your times are. Then you can compare the times you got with the PROcede. |
