    Hey everyone. This was my first time.I messed up (not thinking) but i went to the track with a full tank of gas!:dumb: Even at that i was beside a saturn with a turbo or supercharger.Anyhow i ran 14 sec @102. This is with the jet stage 2 chip,mopar cai,throttle body spacer and corsa cat back and again A FULL TANK OF GAS!

    So next the girlfriend wanted to try. Well, WTF? She kicked my ass! She ran 13.6 at 105!!! So then she figured she knew what she was doing! I will post some video's once photobucket stops acting up. It is really funny watching her trying to warm the tires up without turning off ESP. :oops:

    :stupid:

    The Jet Chip is actually holding you back. lol

    Also, the throttle body spacer is only good for some whistling.

    At least you had fun. haha

    Oh ya , she passed the mustang 1/2 way down the track. She had a bad start but the car gained on the stang, and fast! I am stuck between the predator and the trinity. I will be honest, i think the predator first. That trinity looks complicated for me!Once i order it, you guys can help me set it up!:ilovesrtc:

    The saturn ran a 14.7 ? I could not believe it! I was so much heavier and i spanked him. Made me feel a little better about going to the track on a full tank. What do you guys race with? 1/4 tank?

    from what i understand the Trinity is a dashhawk + predator in one (i could be TOTALLY wrong....i tend to be a lot)....some of the features of the trinity you can get in the EVIC on your dash....not all

    I vote for Pred :)....plus i dont know if the Trinity is out yet lol

    Depends on your DA....

    with a good DA...if I can run a 13.01...you can run it LOL

    if your a better driver then me....high high 12's :)

    Almost correct Steve. lol

    I believe the Trinity will allow for easier data logging as well?

    The Trinity is out in several vehicles right now for Beta testing. It will be available for the general public very soon. It will cost a bit more than the predator, BUT, you get loads more with it than the predator.

    My vote, wait for the Trinity. It will be bad ass.

    Oh, and you can permanently mount the Trinity. Here is a link to Diablo's website so you can read up on the differences. http://www.diablosport.com/

    Yes, or less (as long as you have enough gas to get to a station). The predator will help alot. Also good cool weather helps and make sure you don't spin your tires on launch or your crappy 60' time will ruin your run.

    what is DA? I know i didnt pre load enough. So far this is how it is set up, Mopar intake(changing to aria black with hemi orange filter), predator(giving away the jet chip) airraid throttle body spacer(i know it dont do much but does it restrict or hurt time?) catlee, badlanz cutouts(soon),mopar cat back,the others is just cosmetic(bt under hood, catchcan,lock out ) should i put a 2800 stall in now? I am unsure on heads/cam package.

    Hey fella's i got to go to work. Have a good couple of days and be back wed/thurs. Laters!

    DA = Density Air. This dictates what elevation the weather is.

    Example: If your track starts at 1000' Above Sea Level and your weather is "Hot" and "Humid", the elevation factor will rise dramatically. This will make the "Air" crappy and slow down your ride (lack of Oxygen).

    Another example: A Sea Level track will be (rule of thumb here) a "Full" second faster than a track that is 5000' above sea level.

    also might wanna think about 1000hp halfshafts....cause a 2800 stall (this is still up for debate) will run you a risk of crackin a halfshaft....there have been many a story hahahahaha

    yep :)....ENGLISHTOWN BABY!!!! :)
