Corrected E.T at sea level

[1996slowstang]

I went to modulardepot's website and found that my mustang at sea leavel would run about a 13.85 @98.96mph,The car at 1180ft ran a 14.4 @94.90.Do you guys think that this sounds right?

 

[justinschmidt1]

No, thats way too much correction.

If you dont put in the right temp and humidity your results are gonna be way out of wack

for example: Based on:
Temp: 50?
Humidity: 75%
Track Altitude: 1180 feet
Pressure: 30.15 in.

Density Altitude = 723 feet ET MPH
Uncorrected 14.4 @ 94.9
Corrected 14.29 @ 95.62

Your altitude with 75% humidity and 50 degrees only give you a correction of a tenth...which sounds about right too me.

Sorry man, I really dont think your car is gonna magically pick up 6 tenths at sea level.

Temp and Humidity seem to have a much greater affect on 1/4 mile times than altitude if you ask me.

Correction factors are dumb.

If you MUST use one, use the ones provided by the NHRA for specific tracks.

 

[1996slowstang]

First off I think that this "corrected at sea level" is some dumb shit but I always see where people are posting this,I feel that when you go to the track and run you car it ran what it ran,not my car run's ??.??@??.?? at sea level.But I found this corrected at sea level formula and just wanted to see what it said my car would ran at sea level so when I did it I put that the temp. was 60 degrees humidity was 50%, pressure was 28.30 and it said my et would be13.85 @98.96mph.I was just wondering if I did it right that is where this post came from.

 

[justinschmidt1]

Well without even thinking about the correction factor, the things that come to my mind are the fact that sn95 gt's with 5 speeds have pretty much never run any faster than mid 14s in stock form

PI 5 speed gt's with 40 more hp generally only run low 14s with a good driver, some may hit high 13s but its very very rare.

Just using common sense tells me that theres no way in hell your 96 GT is going to run 13.85 in stock form on street tires unless you really think your car is somehow much faster than any other npi car.

Running any faster than 14.5 in a stock 96-98 gt is almost unheard of

You have to understand that a normal NPI gt would need a good bit of work to touch 13s

my car with full bolt ons, 3.73s, pi intake, tuned, somewhat lighter than stock still would not run any better than 13.9/14.0 with the stock stall

Im sure if my car was stick it would have run a bit faster but it took full bolt ons, pi intake ,gears, and a tune to even get to the point where my car was as fast as a high 13 second car

The car runs what it runs regardless of the alt. I can see putting in your track alt w/ your times but I think the correction factor is silly. There are still other factors that do not come into play such as the track conditions which can wipe out any gains that would have been made at a lower alt.

So this corrected at sea level formula is a bunch of shit just what I thought.So why does everybody post this shit?

My car with just drag slicks would be in the 13teenswith no mods

b/c they use every excuse then can to make their car appear faster then it really is or they really suck at driving so the use the sea level correction to mask that some.

I can believe that people are tards and can't take the fact that their car is slow as hell and they can't drive a lick.

You must be a really good driver or your car is a freak from the factory according to the other guy on this post who said running 14.5 is almost unheard of out of npi.Is your car stock?

Yes it is 100%stock down to the exhaust,Me personally I think I could get in any stock npi coupe with the optional 3.27 gears 5-speed and run that so I don't see why that is so uncommon to do my car still has more in it my 60 ft was shitty it was a 2.2. I think I can get a 14.2 or so out of it on street tires and dip in to the 13 teens with a good set of slicks.

Theres a big differance between saying this and doing this.

Your best time was 14.47 with a 2.2 60 foot at 95 mph

Take it to the track, untill then, stop speculation and saying things that you THINK the car can do.

Technically you should be able to hit 13s with a 1.8-1.9 60 foot, but its a lot easier said than done and I honestly think your gonna have a lot harder time getting into the 13s than you think.

Even if you can somehow cut a 1.8-1.9 60 foot on stock suspension with stock gears/power, your still gonna lose a couple mph by the end of the track so your 1.8-1.9 60 foot may only take you to 14.2-14.3

Correction is stupid in normal cases like his, but there is some tracks that need correction to be comparable, like bandimere

Not speculating just stating a fact and come may when the track opens back up I will prove you wrong.But I can see why you don't want to say it is possible for a stock npi car with just drag slicks to break in to the 13teens because it took you full bolt on's,pi intake,gears and a tune to get their. So yea I would be a little disappointed if somebody with a stock npi car did it with just drag slicks.It will be done with no problem

Lol...Not really...If my car was stick, yes I could be mad but I was limited by my stock converter in the auto. My car had the power to run mid to high 13s...just couldnt get out of the hole worth a shit with the stock converter.

My car was running 9.0 at 78 mph in th 1/8 and 14.0 at 102 mph with a 2.1 60 foot N/A...not bad considering if I had a stall I could probably have cut my 60 foot down to 1.7-1.8 and ran mid-maybe even low 13s.

Even with the worse 60 foot my car still had .3 tenths by the 1/8 and 5 tenths by th 1/4 and 7 mph on the trap.

I would hardly call that comparable.

And all your doing is E-racing your ass off at this point with e.t. correction and drag slicks threads.

I would actually be happy and impressed if a stock npi could get into the 13s with slicks....You should get a video of this magical run when it happens so I can post it every time I hear about how slow NPI cars are.

 

[Paul]

Haha, damn. Justin just laid the NPI smackdown. LOL

 

[justinschmidt1]

lol...


am I crazy or does he come off a bit cocky about his car?


For what its worth its technically not stock once you have slicks on it anyway.

I wouldn't be to cocky about anything if I was running 14's

Its not even that, just the way he is so sure he is going to knock a half a second off his e.t with slicks in a stock npi.
