Alero 3.4l 1/4 Mile Time

[blackout]

Last night i ran my alero down at St.Thomas and my best run was a 15.47. i have an auto 3.4L v6 and the only mod that i have done is a wai also i had about 1/4 tank of gas. Is this a good time for my car.

[Redog]

Yeah I have more done to mine and My best is a 15.41

What was the outside temp?

Post slips!!! If not, let us know 60' time 330' time etc.etc.etc

[FormulaNERD]

i only have access to 1/8th mile around here... hoping to go to a 1/4 track soon.

3.4, auto, cai, exhaust

I was racing with blackout that night.....there are no slips....the stupid machines were down and wouldn't print. I can say though I did see his 1/4 mile time myself. We had a lot of good close races. I pulled off a 15.46....and I woulda liked to see the 60 and 330 times too......stupid track computers :pissed:

[Redog]

Never had that happen to me but I know it can happen

That sucks :pissed: You both ran good and no proof.

I believe you guys, It actually makes me think I should run better than I do

[blackout]

Next time we go i hope to get some slips. The temp was nice but a little cool i dont know what the number was, there was a bit of wind. As you know my best run was 15.47 my avg was 15.6 that was because i lowered my tire pressure without knowing that there pump wasnt working so i ran slower after that. I was on your cardomain page Redog and with the mods you have there should be a bigger gap between your times.

[MikeSS]

I'd say temp was around 20 Degrees Celcius to start, maybe 15 by the end.

That is about 70 and 60 American

[FormulaNERD]

there was a formula out to calculate... i think it was 1/8thET X 1.51, so that would put me at 15.55. sounds about right, but i think i'd run a little faster

Those are from when I went racing.....ummm......crap, can't remember the exact date. Probably the day before my first post. Blackout wasn't there that day and my best time there was 15.54. I got 15.46 when I went racing with Blackout but the machines were broken that night. I might go this Saturday, but not sure yet.

Reddog i think there is something up with ur car, i ran a 15.3 and have a timeslip to prove it, and i am running CAI and custom exhaust, with 8mm spark plugs. hehehe

[tooslowalero]

my best run was only a 15.926@85.54 at lebanon valley dragway in NY, bone stock other than a cone filter. the two runs before that were a 16.1 and a 16.3

Yeah, I wish this would work out because I would run a 14.73 in the 1/4. Not so, last week I ran at Kil-Kare in Dayton, Ohio, and I ran a best of 15.8. Pretty crappy. It was kind of warm, maybe around 80 degrees, and track sits at almost a 1000 feet. When I ran on the 1/8 in Dothan, it was about 50 degrees out and at sea level. My slips from Kil-Kare show a 1/8 mile time at 10.2, I ran 9.7 at Dothan. I don't think the temperature change and altitude should make that much of difference. I mean, it is only 880ft above sea level at Kil-Kare. Maybe that Jet Power Contol Unit really did work. I had that on my car when I ran at Dothan, but not when I ran at Kil-kare last week.

[FormulaNERD]

9.7? not saying i doubt you.... but i havent seen a 3400 run 9.7 in 1/8th... ever. hmmm, not even a 3800 (NA).

gonna take a new GA rental to the track soon... we'll see how that goes.

[flalero]

I know there would be doubts, but I have no problem giving the proof.
First time slip is against a heavily modded Cobra. Just showing this to prove I am indeed car #12

[flalero]

#11 was a friend in his stock '00 GLS coupe. He ran a best of 10.4 by the end of the night. This time was my best.

[flalero]

last one, this run backed up the previous one. I ran pretty consistent all night. From 9.7 to 10.0. Mostly in the 9.8's though.

[MikeSS]

When I run the 1/4 mile my 1/8 time is usually right around 9.9 to 10.1

[aleroguy83]

i went to midnight madness tonight and ran. it was really humid but my car actually ran better than it ever has but i think that is due to there being no dash parts, no backseat, no trunk pieces, no door panels, no console, no carpet and headliner. anyways, i ran a 15.92 at 86 miles in the 1/4

[Blackrider]

My 1/8th s 9.631@74.608 with a 2.3 60 foot, last year, Its not that hard to get
