Default Baseline runs: WHP ADDED, 60-130, 1/4 mile and 0-60

I did six 60-130 runs and my average was 12.76 seconds. Now the road was not prefectly flat but im going to run the car on the exact same mile markers for the same six runs when i get it back from EPL. I ran these starting at 55 mph and in third gear so please note the times would be faster if i had the momentum from starting from 0mph. If i do the same exact thing when i get the car back it will give me solid data on how much the EPL mods helped.

I just got the car so im not driving her like a seaoned pro. so the 1/4 mile average and 0-60 will not be as good as they can be and additionally i do not like to beat the crap out of the car by launching it and/or dropping the clutch. My average 0-60 was 4.6 seconds all the runs were very close and my best 1/4 mile was 13.4 you really do need a track to run the 1/4 properly.

I kept second guessing myself and worrying about the police. I also had to be careful around turns which in itself kills the 1/4 mile runs. I will run the same data from the same locations after EPL tunes the car.

Can you post the baseline graphs so we have accurate slope and G's to compare to the new, tuned runs? Thanks....

Is the car a turbo cab? Did you use a GPS based measuring device?
Thanks

I logged the runs using a Driftbox and I have a Turbo Cab. I saved the files but when I try to open them they come out blank. Maybe somebody here can tell me what I need to do to see the files. They have data on them since the sizes of the files vary.

Just in case the files can't be read I marked where I did the 6 runs. I used the mile markers on the road and I will do the tuned runs at exactly the same points when I get it back. I did this in case I was not using the Driftbox properly.

We did 4 pulls on EPL's mustang dyno on my car pre-mod, the temp was 74 degrees with high humidity. The average number was 329.32 Whp. This seems about standard on a stock car.

As soon as the car is finished I will post the number for Whp.

As soon as I am done with the upgrades I will post my EPL and Tony experience which up to this point has been professional and accommodating.

Good solid first pull. Mine came in at 334, but the weather was definitely colder.
The best part about the stock baseline is that, assuming your car is making porsche's claimed 416hp, you can calculate your drivetrain loss and know what flywheel hp you are making post-modification.
Good luck!
