1/4 MPH differences

[StealBlueSHO]

To those who track way more than I do, is 2mph a big difference at the trap?

 

[ZSHO]

I don't track as much but IMO "YES".  Z

 

[Brucelinc]

Yes!  Pretty good indicator of engine power, too.  Headwind vs tailwind will impact it, though.

 

[f8tlSHO]

Yes I agree

the launch had so much to do with it though.  if you spin off the line you'll get a better mph but worse e.t. and 60'. if you hook well and don't spin you'll get a better e.t. but a little lower trap.
however if your 60' is within a tenth AND you pick up mph then i would say that's a legitimate gain. it's all relative really.
deep vs shallow staging can affect all of that too.
a lot of factors really

I would look at runs from both lanes, but yes 2 mph at top end is alot.  I know my track there is 2 to 3 mph difference between lanes.

Brian any update or details on the Track meetup? sorry to the OP for being off Topic. BTW might bring a very good friend with me.  Z

No one has gotten ahold of me and said they aren't coming. Yeah Kris and I are going no matter what.  We are going down Friday night and spend the night.  Weather is looking great.  Highs in the low 70s, lots of sun.  Bring a friend it will fun.

Thats what I suspected.. thanks for the input!!! Same lane, different tunes, one tune is anywhere from 2.8mph faster of the two fastest runs on both tuners and 6mph different on another run.

I'm running tower side at BSD at 113 and far side 110.  Same day same tune.

At the local track, the two times I've ran the right side it is 5mph different. I've told them but they're too busy being morons to do anything about it.

What is the explanation for one side showing a higher trap speed?  Is there also a striking difference in ET?

Almost identical ets.

Their explanation seems to be......derp.

So i just race on the low et side.
