Since you are at 4.2 with just an ecu flash and are adding more mods, we should get you a loaner dragy when you approach top 3 or sub 4 seconds since your g meeter doesn't have slope. Sound fair?
I did check if Dragy was required, I don't see it, but if other members want my numbers pulled, whatever. I am mod'ing for fun at the strip with my daughter, not for bragging rights on this forum.
Nice improvement. Welcome back. That 1-2 shift looks nice.I’m back...View attachment 18940
Short shifted both 1st and 2nd just a hair.Nice improvement. Welcome back. That 1-2 shift looks nice.
Yes, a 0-60 during your 1/4 mile would work also. But you can probably get a bit faster with dragy in some cool weather and no waiting in line.I will be visiting a strip regularly, if that counts. If a local has a Dragy to allow me to compare, I'm happy to try that as well.
Nice run!I’m back...View attachment 18940
I feel you. I just don't like seeing people getting booted for times that could be completely invalid. Nothing against you. Like I said, I have times that are a good bit lower than my posted time BARELY out of valid and I'm sure others do too. There are spots I think are perfect and dragy says no.
Finding the spot is harder than making the run. Dragy is a cruel bitch. How about I send you mine on Monday? I'll pay to send it there, you pay to send it back?
Thx. I'd rather defer that offer until I get my next significant mod installed, so I could use it to validate before/after runs.
That said - what are the Dragy limits for "valid"? I used USGS topo info to verify that a 1.2 mile stretch of interstate close to me has near identical starting and ending elevation. The ground level has a 40' dip roughly in the middle, but the highway is elevated over that point, there is a major road running below. Call it a 10' dip in the highway. So a 1/4 mile run from the entrance ramp on either end dips by no more than 5', that's about 0.4%. The emergency lane has less than ideal traction, so I consider that a fair compromise.
The slope is the difference between start and end. So there could be a big hill or dip in the middle as long as it ends within 12.3 feet for the quarter and 60 foot depends on how fast you are. But we are all in the 1.8 to 2.5 feet limit for 0-60. (180 to 250 foot runs) That said dagy is terrible at elevation. The same spot can go in and out of valid and I've seen variations by up to 1% on the same piece of road. My favorite 1/4 mile track was reading -.35 to -.99 but now is -.5 to - 1.5 but more often -1.3 to -1.5. Good rule if thumb for both 0-60 and 1/4 mile is no visible slope.0-60 is MUCH more stringent on dragy than 1/8 or 1/4. You are only allowed a 1% drop in elevation over the "track". Another benefit of grabbing a dragy at least for a bit, is that you could find somewhere that dragy qualifies as fair and use the same starting point with your other device and KNOW you have valid runs.
Tonka knows the exacts but it's only a couple of feet that you can drop during your 0-60 and it will invalidate the whole run, no matter where you end.
