Hybridcavs New Best 1/4 Mile!! 14.5 :)
Tuesday, April 19, 2005 8:36 PM
Took the car to the track tonight for the first time this year. My best 1/4 mile was in 2004 was a 15.44. Since then I have added the 2.3 Mani, 62mm TB & a 75 Shot. Here was my best slip.

Car is an automatic 2.4

R/T- .321
60'- 2.28
330- 6.20
1/8- 9.42
MPH- 75.88
1000- 12.21
1/4- 14.57
MPH- 95.47

Car ran very strong, but had dead air between 2,000rpm and 3,000 when the N20 kicked in. If I had axles and a higher stall torque converter I would be in better shape off the line, but all in all taking nearly a full second of my time is not a bad feat.

nice time. YOu should have ran all motor to see what you would have gotten. Your axles should be fine, but yes a high stall would be nice.

U really think the axles will handle a 2800 stall? Probably carry a couple extras in case..

Like I said, I just have a horrible time getting out of the hole... No traction issues, just no torque... Any other suggestions?

Truly the stall is not going to affect the axles. The power will already be there, not like dumping the clutch on a 5 speed.
