    Default Progression

    This may not be of interest to many, but I have seen a few people post their progression of times in their signatures. I got interested in what mine would show so I dug through all the PBs I have posted over the years. I also added corrected times to see if they would tell me anything. Here is what I have:

    Date ET MPH 60' DA Corr ET Corr MPH Mods ET Drop MPH Gain Corr ET Drop Corr MPH Gain
    10/10/2009 13.261 106.99 2.061 429 13.227 107.25 Vararam, Cortex tune, HSRK, Corsa catback
    11/14/2009 13.141 106.69 1.99 1301 12.958 108.22 added MT DRs -0.12 -0.3 -0.269 0.97

    10/22/2010 12.38 114.79 1.954 31 12.472 114.09 whittling it down
    10/29/2010 12.294 115.53 1.947 -693 12.35 115.1 whittling it down -0.371 4.83 -0.366 4.75
    3/12/2011 11.449 121.16 1.729 1218 11.41 121.59 added Maggie 1900 3.0 pulley, Rotofab
    9/30/2011 11.422 122.21 1.743 282 11.477 121.95 whittling it down -0.872 6.68 -0.873 6.85

    11/16/2012 11.241 126.83 1.79 -256 11.225 127.13 whittling it down -0.181 4.62 -0.252 5.18
    5/4/2013 11.013 127.5 1.7 1417 10.962 128.1 added Maggie porting, Alkycontrol methanol injection, NW 120 TB, 102 MAF, 102 intake, 3.27 gears, suspension mods, Rick Crawford tune
    5/24/2013 10.946 131.27 1.71 225 10.974 130.95 whittling it down
    10/25/2013 10.754 130.41 1.63 -1238 10.802 129.95 whittling it down -0.192 -0.86 -0.172 -0.54
    3/1/2014 10.239 136.03 1.59 -547 10.242 136.11 Ported heads, new cam, pulley change, front runners, weight reduction -0.515 5.62 -0.560 6.17
    12/7/2014 10.090 138.80 1.51 -679 10.101 138.76 2.8 pulley, 3" catback, more meth, 8 rib, new TB, more weight reduction -0.149 2.77 -0.141 2.65
    10/31/2016 10.046 138.09 1.48 1442 9.998 138.76 2.5 pulley, 2" headers, GT500 HX, 2.92 gear -0.044 -0.71 -0.103 0.00
    12/10/2017 9.756 139.19 1.41 -951 9.782 138.94 PnP interchiller -0.290 1.10 -0.216 0.18


    My takeaways:

    • I love negative DA
    • I started modding much earlier that I remember (purchased Jan 09)
    • I sure did not wait long in between headers and cam!
    • Maggie torque helped the 60' a lot
    • Huge ET drop with headers was magnified by outstanding DA
    • It took of runs and dropping DA to get my best cam time
    • Injured diff hurt 60' in 2012
    • I want to see some negative DA before the tracks close for the season!

    Any Saturday after this weekend. By the time I have an open Friday night Edgewater will be running Saturday daytime. If we get a nice sunny day under an Arctic high pressure I may hit Edgewater and TriState on the same afternoon

    Progression it is and pretty awsome. Mine went from 13.11 to 11.86 on the same drag radials after 1900 tvs so they really do make some great power. I loved the maggie and its instant power. Killer ride with still more to go so great job.

    It's been impressive watching that beast progress first hand.
    You did leave out of your chart whether you had the child seat in or not! LOL, I still love that part!

    .371 just on better, colder air. Quite telling as to our cars running quicker from Fall to early Spring. Excellent illustrative post. Thanks!
