LoL this guy. No. Track Apps, that you get with the car.

That's not accurate. What's accurate is the 12.5 you're running now.

Any drag racer knows you're not running those times with that 60 foot without a supercharger

Ok buddy, I wish I had a supercharger. But those are my times. Don’t know what else to tell ya.

Just letting you know they aren't accurate. The 12.5 is.

Get a dragy, they're on Amazon and other places. The times your car gives you are optimistic to put it mildly. Fantasy numbers is another way to put it.

LoL! That’s what I’ve been thinking! I’m like no way I’m running this. But it keeps showing it. LoL.

There was a guy here who posted a 9.76 with just the carbon traps removed...

Ok now that’s bullshit! Bahahaha.
I have a few mods done. But that’s funny!

Have you had it on a real drag strip?

Oh ok… yeah the track apps are fantasy roleplay. Makes sense.

try your experiment at the track

I did dyno this when collecting data for the air filters that I sell (thinkautotech.com). With stock and my filters, we saw a noticeable increase with the lids off and hood open and high speed fan on front of the car. I would be very surprised to see any gain with the hood closed though. I think adding hot air into the mix would reduce any slight gains from having the lids off.

Also, the boxes and lids have some geometry to them likely designed using CFD modeling. Removing the lid may mess with flow into the filter.

Have you gone back to open lids and reproduced the results? That would help eliminate some things.

You're running 11.4's?


Bullshit

I agree. Besides this is like beating a horse to death, meaning it was a big topic last year!

I’ll try again with the lids off and on.
