Thanks man, that thunderbird next to my car in the picture was from Vermont said same as you on it Essex junction not sure if you know him

so wish every one would put their DA  and temp at the time of the pass. Today I did a 12.51 with 3400 da and 60deg with 91% dew. Temp and DA have soo much to play wtih these cars. So if I have 3300 da at 12..5 and 3800 da and 12.8... 500 da is a lot.
this brings me to how some of you guys are in the 11's but see your at sea level.(or less on you da)

Joys of good air at New England Dragway.  You are correct, when I hit the 11.83 the DA was roughly -60/90ft or so in 55-60 temps.  My driver mods included empty trunk, rear seats removed, no head rests, 28-30psi in tires, meth topped off, gas tank 93 octane reading 30 miles to empty or less. 

At home on the street and always at the track I never have anything in my trunk.  At full interior minus the spare tire gone, my best was 12.06 at 115.  It's also very important to get as many runs in as possible or what you feel comfortable with, my times have fluctuated by as much as 3\10 in the same day.

I then turned my attention to DA and began watching it ..... When I noticed it dipped below DA I made sure to get to the track, and with my rear seats gone I knew I "should" snag an 11.  I became obsessed with chasing it....and so I prepared for it, did my research and executed it better than I anticipated.  Other than simply showing up to the track I feel as though I put in 30% more effort with just the simple "extra" things I did.  In this case "extra" was really taking away from the car, in turn I gained more.  Less is more. 

It's got to be slightly more than just going to the track to see what you can do...nothing wrong with that at all.  There's always ppl there just seeing what their cars can do...and always ppl there that are really trying to get all they can out of their cars, and their not messing around, they got ice, they got fans, drags or slicks or both, tuners on hand....so it's up to you how invested you are into your track time.  The day I hit my best, I wasnt there to play.  I was honing in the beast!

DA yesterday for my 12.53 at 112.97 pass was 1,850 DA 71F. 660 elevation the track is. If only DA was negative on cooler temps

That's why I have always added DA to my signature ha!

Can anyone tell me what the record quarter mile on a stock everything SHO only with tuning?? I'm not talking about a motor blow tune (some may know what I mean) just safe reliable daily driver tuning.

So your telling me my 12.53 at 112.96 may be the record?

 

[802SHO]

I think you may be the one!

Hell yea! My old man got video of the run too ill be posting on YouTube today and I'll send you guys the link!

 

[802SHO]

ShoNoff did 12.51 at 110 with 100 octane and downpipes....other than that he is basically stock.  So just a tune...i think its all you man.

This is amazing man , Brad @AJPTurbo has the news and I'll be chipping away at this quarter mile time with better air and DA! No more mods quite yet! I'm thinking ideal condition good temp good DA  good 60 ft we can see 12.20 12.30 at maybe 115!

He lost at least half a second at startup, I can stare at the green light for a bit before the vehicle moves.
Work on your reaction time and you'll be in the 11's.

So this SHO just has a 100 octane tune and downpipes?.. wow!

18SHO is in the video and he doesn't have downpipes.  The SHO with tune only and downpipes with a 12.51 is ShoNoff.

The reaction time doesn't affect the time.  The time starts when he moved across the line.  Reaction time only makes a difference when you're racing someone else.  So you could get an 11.5 for instance...but someone who reacted quicker and made it to the end of the track with a 11.9 would be considered the winner even though they were not as fast as you.

Reaction time doesn't effect time, I was only doing time trials. I took that extra half second to get the RPM right where I wanted it and put my foot through the floor . I am factory stock mechanically. No downpipes not even a cold air intake. All I have is a E30 tune that's dialed in 110% i drive the car daily with this tune and even drive this car in the horrible winters here in NY snow ice salt it sees it all!

802sho is right I do have downpipes but other then that I’m basically stock. I run stock air box too. I ran the 12.51 on an unleashed 100 tune. I’m currently tuned by ajp and we are just starting to work on dialing in my 93 and 100 tunes. I fully expect more mph and et with his tune. Great runs by you guys though. I wish I could of made it out. I love LVD great track and it’s not ridiculously far for me. We should all meet up at either NED or LVD sometime. Would be a blast.
