my gtx 1/4 mile time

15.3 (cant rem speed)

that is with basicly stock gtx
adjusted boost only

 

What is the stock boost and what did you have your boost up too?

 

stock boost is .68 bar (9.5 psi)
adjusted is .9 bar (13.5 psi)

 

the us spec bf gtx is 7/8 psi stock
but the j spec bg gtx is 9.5 psi

stock intercooler ...

got plans in the pipeline to upgrade it to a air / water setup

 

15.3 seems kinda slow for a BPT GTX... i would have expected mid/high 14s...oh wait you have AWD, that would account for some drivetrain power loss.

just that i have seen some BP cars hit low/mid 15s (which i where i think i am) with moderate mods...cams would open that baby right up

 

also having a sterio system in the boot doesent help .....

except on the drive to and from the strip Blue




also the strip i use i regarded as a 'slow' strip ..... its slightly up hill

 

Actually AWD cars are quicker in 1/4 mile times because they have virtually no tire spin. But if you race on from a roll the FWD or RWD will probably win assuming same HP and Weight

 

actually i was getting full wheel spin in 1st and a bit in 2nd ...

 

AWD is usually better for handling than drag racing. It's more difficult to launch most AWD drive cars than 2wd. No doubt about it's advantage here in the snow though.

 

also the 4wd is harder to judge bog down .... its a finer line with a 4wd than in a 2wd

 

I had lots of time and practice getting used to it her in Chicago. Back when I had my Subaru, I couldn't weight for it to snow.

 

i havent been in the snow yet

 

So far prior to dyno tuning I managed a 14.5 on street tires. I believe darryl was with me when I ran a 14.6 at LACR. This at 4000+ elevation.

After tuning the car runs much stronger, so hopefully I'll be a lower 14 or a high 13 now.

 

Ya, wasn't that the second run against the Eclipse GST spider. With a jerry rigged boost controller, that was damn good

 

I had a black 1997 Legacy 2.5GT Limited. The only problems with it were the auto trans (wife's idea) and leather interior. I live in Chicago, so the leather was cold in the winter and hot in the summer. It looked good though. I missed driving a stick shift too much, so I traded it for the Protege.
