1.9 is my best.

1.9 is my best.

I would quote my exact time if you were going to show it in your signature. It misinforms people.

da was ~-1091 on that run. no reduction. temps were in the mid/low 40s:rockon:

Dang.. I could only imagine my truck with slicks and a -1000' DA... Doubt I'll ever see that though. :adore:

13.70... :eviltongue: :wink::biggrin:

 

[Clokwrk]

Got worried there for a minute. Congrats on pulling some sweet runs!

 

[XrunnIT]

13.70... :eviltongue: :wink::biggrin:

well my last run with a 768' da had a corrected time of 13.70, so your probably not too far off.

Awesome DA + boost = very little difference I.R.L. .... :thumpdown: :laugh:

I beg to differ....a tune and an awesome da...well awesome as in 2500 compared to 7800 took almost .8 off my 1/4 time

EDIT: someone should change the thread title....haha

 

[Toyotaguy_7]

whats da? got me lost there

 

[jaxchrisfla]

correction factor for altitude and temperature.

 

[SinCity R/T]

whats da? got me lost there

DA = Density Altitude

Weather conditions greatly affect drag racing. The Density Altitude will help indicate how good/poor the air is for racing, and is computed from the physical altitude, temperature, barometer, dew point, etc.

Las Vegas is one of the more brutal examples of this - although our physical altitude is only 2100' at LVMS, the hot/dry air pushes the density altitude over 6000' in the summertime. Almost everyone who moves from a sea level location to Las Vegas is completely shocked when they see their first timeslip, on average an N/A vehicle will run .7-1.0 slower here.

Ya it was bad.. that was my excuse to why I only ran a 15.2 with intake, headers, and exhaust..

 

[Toyotaguy_7]

wow nasty how could i figure out my da?

This is a good tool, to see your DA and corrected 1/4 times. :top:
