what sorta times people been getting at santa pod also what car and bhp, spec, ect.

its gonna be my first time up the strip at usc.

 

What car and spec have you got ?

My time is in my sig

Steve

 

Only ever done 2 runs. First one was nothing worth mentioning and on the second run I managed 12.5 at 111 mph with an iffy 3rd gear.

The car was my 4x4 saph, T38 turbo, greys, ported head, standard compression and cams etc, rolling roaded at 450 bhp.

Should hopefully be quicker with box sorted and a bit more practice!

 

I'll hopefully be running my sierra estate again at usc, car's not been touched for a yeah and a half so anything could happen, time and spec in sig i think.

 

frst 1.6 cvh, stage 3 big valve head, piper cam, hybrid t2,forge act, fmic, beiges, 195 chip, uprated headgasket, arp stud, arp con rods, low comp, fully light & bal, sytec uprated fuel pump, ap clutch, lsd @ 1 bar on 16".

not really sure what time to expect?

 

1.6cvh xr2 turbo - 260bhp

12.6 sec @ 115mph

vids look good jano looks like you had a nice day today lol

 

you must be running anything from 170-200bhp
so aim for mid to high 14s
200bhp fiestas usually do 97-99 terminals with no head wind!

 

Great time, must have a sorted front end and proper tyres?!

 

Surely you had more power than that with the spec you were running??!!

 

Very similar spec to my old one. I had a huge front mounted Pace intercooler too. Managed a 14.9 in the end but couldn't get the traction down. 1st 2nd 3rd just spun up. That is going to be your biggest problem.

Try and get out first thing when the glue is down on the track. Failing that lower the tyre pressures and try to find a sticky patch up the track; more than likely slightly off line as most people are centre of the lane

 

Vauxhall nova

12.9 @ 103mph

400bhp for the first half of the strip, almost no power for the second half of the strip after the fire

 

Not ford, but the only car i've ever 1/4 miled...

Clio 16v with 2ltr Williams engine
Hill Power remapped ecu
Scorpion decat exhaust
AVO coilovers
standard 15" wheels with Colway remoulds

14.885s @ 94.??mph

 

forgot to say my own times!

200bhp 1.6cvh 14.1 @ 99 on road tyres
with 25 shot nos 13.4 @ 105 on R888s

 

ERST S2 14.3 1/4 mile forget terminal
E30 325i auto 15.92 @ 96.2mph (1986 car, 100% standard)

 

fiesta turbo 12.7@115mph

 

A respectable time for a midway fire!
What do you think it would have done without the intrusion of flames?

 

what was your 60ft?




For me in re-mapped 335d 13.0@105.9mph

 

Cracking time that LOADS more to come yet

My best is a 12.5 @ 119mph Stock xe engine in a nova + nitrous

 

10.4@146

Fiesta Zecec Turbo

 

mines in my sig. car before was a fwd cavalier turbo with about 320hp on gas. that did 13.9@110mph. just couldn't get the power down.

 

Helluva lot quicker than your M3 then, on a roll.
