That's pretty cool. What does a stock Ridge do?

Re: trucky goes 15's !

On paper stock runs at 16.8, but in real life, mid to low 17's.

You are da man!

Congrats. A full second faster than stock is nothing to shrug off. Especially naturally aspirated and limited mods at hand.

Re: trucky goes 15's !

Hey, nice run! Add some type-r stickers and you should be in the low 15's

Seriously, that was cool, did you do a stock run?

The thing is when the magazines test them usually at pomona they use NHRA correction factors, they dont publish the real times. They do this for consistency of testing.

IE in febuary I ran a non corrected 16.3 with just intake and exhaust, however even with the track altitude being 1500 ft the temp was 42 degrees so the measured density altitude was just 522 feet with humidity and air pressure factured in not even on the scale so the time stays 16.3

this time my fastest time was a 16.6, however with the much high temps + 50 degrees and much higher humidity and air pressure the same track no gets a density altitude of 3550 feet

I believe with the stock tires on which have a much smaller footprint IE friction area and ooops somereason my alignment was off a bit a perfect RT/60 ft and perfect shifting I could have seen low 15's corrected which given 50 extra hp and 300 lbs less weight than stock is about right.

However I am shooting for another 150 pounds off 3950 total and another 80-100 hp with a modified trans setup I'd like to run 13.2 corrected or better (NSX stock time)
