CruxGNZ Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Rough guess with a little calculation, but I say 6.775 seconds in 492 feet, give or take .003 seconds. !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 What is the 594' measurement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I was trying to figure that out to. Since I thought he might mean the 660', I scratched a number down for that too in case he asked, but now I can't find my scratch paper . !M!

Scottie-GNZ Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Try slipping the clutch a tad coming off the line. Another thing to think about is a simple 2-step where you can limit the boost to say 10-12psi at the line and let it loose after the 1-2 shift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted August 9, 2003 Author Share Posted August 9, 2003 well ive made my decision adn thats to just hold off and do a nine inch. so we will try again next year ;< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z Turbo Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 do a 2nd order regression equation to figure this out. I will do it later and give you the equation based on your past times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z Turbo Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Sorry for the late response, but I could not find my HP calculator until now. Equation is as follows and is 2nd order. Time(seconds)=.93455 + .01416(x) - .0000067(x^2) where x=feet So, plug in 492 feet and you get 6.279 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
