Rented Alabama International Dragway - Bolt Ons

[joshalabama]

About 36 of my friends decided it would be fun to rent AID for a day. We got 4 hours of track time to ourselves. I was also able to test different intake setups and run my car for the first time since tune, udp, suspension etc. I also took this opportunity to test the electric turbo from this thread:

I'm not going to list all my times because there are a lot but I am listing the best 3 that are relevant. Not really good for the car but I had a kick ass time. So here is some of the results.

Fastest Run "Short Ram Intake"
R/T … .413
60’ … 2.273
330 … 6.390
1/8 … 9.801
MPH … 71.85
1/4 … 15.212
MPH … 90.53

EFAN Pre-Maf "Best of 2 Runs"
R/T … .572
60’ … 2.365
330 … 6.648
1/8 … 10.127
MPH … 70.32
1/4 … 15.618
MPH … 89.54

EFAN Post-MAF "Best of 2 Runs"
R/T … .488
60’ … 2.501
330 … 7.065
1/8 … 10.599
MPH … 69.07
1/4 … 16.159
MPH … 88.21



I experimented with launches and it seemed best launch for my car was at 3200 RPM. I was consistentally getting 1/4 mile times between 15.2-15.4 Trap speed times were consistant between 89.99-90.65 MPH, I ran with swirlies and goodyear 185/60/15's.

It was a fun day. Last time I was at the track I was running consistantly 16.21-16.70's - 1/4 mile. These runs were done with header, exhaust, intake, 14" steelies. I think I have made a huge improvment. I think with cams, better tires, or Phantom Grip I might see a 14's. Exciting.

great 60 ft time!

[joshalabama]

Thanks a lot man. Is that pretty good for our car?

[tre2000zx2]

dang sounds like fun.. how much did that cost?

[1337]

So wait. efan is better pre or post maf? and is that traveling from the engine or direction of air flow?

[joshalabama]

It cost around $30 a person with 26 people. Not bad to have the track to ourselves and have unlimited runs.

Efan is better pre-maf, which goes against directions, but it is not better. Your car won't idle with the efan before the maf, be prepared. It will also run very rich.

Efan is a joke, his times prove it.

15.2 is hauling for just 130whp. Are you sure that track isn't downhill?

[joshalabama]

Track is completely level, they have all sorts of events there, Pinks was there last November. It really is a great track. I launched at 3400 when I made that time. Shifted at around 7200-7300 in first, then about 7000 after that. My two fastest times were a 15.212 and a 15.253. My average was between 15.35-15.45

I guess racing in 90% humidity here in Indiana is really screwing with my time. Acutally, it screws with everyone's time. What is your sea-level there?

[joshalabama]

~600 feet above I think

[needfasp3ed]

Yes, a 2.2 60 is pretty good for a FWD without DR's or slicks.

[joshalabama]

Well sweet, yeah I'm going to have to get some cheap tires for when I take my car to the strip since someone slashed my good years I just put Falken ziex 205-50-15 all the way around and I don't want to mess these up.

[ilarson007]

less than $1000 for 4hrs on the track?

[joshalabama]

It is $500 initially + $50 per hour for paramedics.

My car club in WA rented Bremerton Raceway. There were 48 of us, around $19 a person for 6 hours at the track. I raced my Mustang, but it was definitely a blast. I made around 20 passes that day in my Mustang, and a couple in my wifes Sonata. Sonata cut some good 1/4 mile times for a big 4 door. I put down my first run under 13.5 in the Stang 13.122 @ 119mph. Mid 14's in the Sonata. I towed my car to the track that day, so I even made a pass in my 98 Z71 with 35" Goodyear MTR's and a lift kit. I put down a 16.8 in that, at 88 mph. Overall is was a BLAST!!!
