Default 1/4 mile speed about right ?

Hey guys , just wondering if my times are pretty ``ok``..



When My GK tib was stock I came in at 81 miles an hour.. (17,1 secs)



Which is pretty crappy to me lol.. But since my engine has an rpm Loss from 4 to 5k and can't really tell.



Anyway.. After Headers and exhaust I run regular 83,5 miles an hour ? is that pretty ok?

Not my RD was 92-95 miles an hour on nitrous..... at 5000ft above sea level.



I think you car is really down on power... time to check the compression of the engine...

Has nothing to do with compression he doesnt even have his o2 connected, the car runs on limp mode until late in the revs my car did the same thing



I used to trap 86-87ish

81mph is what my accent did at 8 feet above sea level. It was a mild factory freak as it posted high mid 16s more than a few times and most accents run low 17s and can't pull into the 16s without mods. (The LC era anyway.. no idea what the new ones do)

The new ones Doug are hella slow, the damn thing weighs more than my j2 now

I wish I took the hd to the track, I bet it would've clicked off a 18 second quarter



Cars are fat pigs now and the manufacturers aren't adding any HP to them



The new elantra really needs a 200hp option and the accent a 150



Oh and Nate I told him to stop making posts of bench racing so if you tell him to stop what else will he post about

The new Accent has 138hp, it's getting a lot closer to 150.
