I still cant help but wonder why that trap is so low with 304 @ the wheels. My friends neon is making 269hp and 235 ft lbs on a hahn stage 3 with crower cams and j&e pistons, running 12 psi. Riding in that car makes you think your going back to 1955 when you reach 88 mph. He runs 12.70's @ 121-123 mph. Any explanation for the low trap (the high e.t. I understand given those 60 ft's you had)

I would believe the 105 mph before the 121-123 you claim. That should be low 11s or high 10s et.

that 121-123mph sounds right to me on a turbo car that isn't getting much traction...
i think a high 10, low 11 run on a turbo 4cyl would be more in the 130ish range

if i don't remember correctly, Tom wasn't running the car at it's top potential...276 whp and a 5,500 rev limit. plus a 30+ headwind. in addition to that, i believe that was his first drag racing experience...

Your right, his 60's arent THAT bad, but the fact is, he blowing up the tires thru the first 3 gears. Lotta hp + no weight will do that for ya...

1/8 ... 10.731
MPH ... 66.57
1000 ... 13.965

All I have is an Ice-Man Ram Air Intake, load of graphics and exterior modifications, and Magnaflow Exhuast(not catback, but resignator is removed). Anyways, I think for an almost stock automag I am running very well. Some one told me today that I could be running fast with my trap at 82.21... what do you guys think? Where do you feel I am losin it? Remember, I am automatic.

first runs were like 16.3-16.5 @ 84mph.
havent been back since we have had all these mods:
FS cool-flo intake, custom exhaust, stock replacment crower cams, FC cam gears, FC crank pulley, FC race header, FC mass air, FC flexpipe, FC throttle body, FC short shifter, FS spark plug wires, bosch platinum 4 plugs, diablo chip, FC carbo fiber hood, str fuel rail..... soon to be at a track to see what the mods actually did for me

my best so far has been a 15.71@ 87mph here are a list of my mods
Iceman CAI, AEM udp, Apexi WS exhaust, custom short shifter, Esslinger cam gears, Focus Central water pump pulley, Focus Central Crank Pulley, Focus Central race header, Focussport spark plug wires,Focussport/H&R lowering springs
I have yet to go to the strip with the race header, i'm hopping for quite an improvment on that time

That was much better then me stock.....I ran 17.4 in a 5spd basically because i didnt know what i was doing but still......Very nice time!!!
And that's about what a focus will do stock, with a good driver. That time is a great start
Also what was the tempature like when you made that run just curious????

it was about 76degrees,a couple more things too my car is a 5spd.with the whole interior and spare tire too,i just raced it on the 14th and the real race guys said the barometer readings were crappy too,i launched it 5000rpms and stayed in 3rd gear thru 6800 which was kinda dumb but that was my last race and it cut 3tenths off the two previous runs..
