This time I ran a 16.4, 16.4, and a 16.3.

It's weird though, my sixty foot times were similar to my last runs, BUT it was after 60 feet where I started to lose speed.

My trap speed was 2-3 miles slower and my ET's were a little slower.

The only thing I can think of is that I changed my oil the day before to synthetic 5W-30. Maybe I should change to a 10W-30?

Hey Hwoody, what rpm do you take off at?? I've been taking off at 4000 rpm and my best time to date is a 16.63...... I take out the spare tire (i got a 4dr ex 5-speed) and I still never have deflated my tires to 20 psi. I'm thinking that if I start doing that then maybe I can drop to a 16.4......what do you think??


p.s. thanks for the tips you gave me a while back, I'm getting much better reaction times now (when I began they were like 1.18 but now I'm in the low .7's and last week I got a .669-I'm happy but I'll be really happy when i get in the .5's )

Aren't our cars supposed to use 5W-20?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Either way, those times are still better than mine(LX). Maybe the 15.8 was a fluke

hmm. wonder what peeps are going to say about this. heh.

well, 16.3 is still pretty fast.

but it sure is different than a 15.8 though. thats half a sec.

and in quarter mile, thats a lifetime.

the smaller number is winter viscosity, won't matter when the engine is warm

Have you thought about the temperture on the 2 days that you ran? Maybe, it was a bit colder the first time you ran her.
