at this time my car isn't fast at all it's in the high 16's for now.....
"patience is a virtue, especially with DSM's"
 
LOL i just got my nos time in buddy, check my time again. And I've only had my car for about 3 months. I havn't had much time to get the feel for my cars power just for the fact there every other day I put something else on it to make it faster. And what you mean my "mods" i have all the bolt on shit, no Internals 15s is hella good for just exhaust header and intake buddy.Cam gears won't do shit, because i have them set for stock timing because my nos runs bad with tunned timing. And a VENOM intake manifold does not add HP it makes my NOS run smoother with more flow. But hey, my new time is a lil better so if you wanna race you know where oregon is ;) LOL and if your time is faster than post it and quit putting other peoplez car down. You don't know much about the 420a if you are saying 15s is a slow time. But hey I'm not here to put people down ; And no, you could not smoke me or my car.
 
unless you got a built motor,NOS, or Turbo kit ure car is slow.
factory freak does not exist. its pathetic to think that actually.all i got is short ram intake and NGK plugs cause im savin for bottom end and HRC and i run a 16.1 at 85 mph. so does that mean im a factory freak?! LOL
 
i just built a 420a completely 13.0.1 compression, we are hoping for 13sec timeslips still dialing in all the power though, we also took 600 pounds out of this car, and when i hade my 420a eclipse i ran 14.9 in milwaukee at the grove with throttlebody, intake, exhaust, headers, underdrive crank pulley, and cam gears.

Theres you 3 links concerning factory freaks and if you think its not true then you will need to rethink your thoughts. Ask DOUG99RS about his compression in his car.... or ask anyone else that has a "factory freak". they probably have a little bit higher of a compression than normal if you notice the normal that is.

16.7 --- Intake
 
LOL i just don't get it, factory freak? Like Nomar the magical elf came by and poured magic in the gas-tank? "here you go 420a! now you will be best throughout the land!" I just think its bs, if you want higher compresseion then do work to your engine. Don't assume someone just magicly made it faster from the assembly line. Machines make these cars, not magic elfs. Machines don't tune our cars differently. Changing compression isn't a hard task, it could be as simple as changing a head gasket, doing that doesn't make it a "factory" car anymore does it? But hey I could careless, factory freak or stock, I know my car is no factory freak cuz I do all the work to my dsm myself, and ill race any "factory freak" and well see how the factory freak horsepower compares ;)
 
i just timed my 1/4 mile. take into consideration, it may be a few feet off of an exact 1/4 mile. it's techincally 400meters Which is very close). anyways my 0-60 was roughly 10.3s and my 1/4 was 15.97 seconds @ 85 mph. i know i must take into consideration human reaction time and and all that but this gives me a base to think about. also it was nice and cool, and my engine had just warmed up, so cool air was good. also this is with a car that i weihed today (on a semi truck scale) as being 3044 lbs. i know this sounds heavy, but with half a tank of gass, 100+ pounds of subs/amp, spare tire, my bro (timing from start to finish) jack and all that it makes sense. now, if for some reason this time sounds imposible, let me know and i will maybe remeasure the 1/4 or if u have any suggestions. this is a practically deserted road, we sat there for 10 mins warmin up the car and no one was in sight. thanks for all your help.

mods: plugs/wires, Ram air (K&N), magnaflow straight through race series muffler, test pipe.

p.s. my rear shocks are pretty much kaputz, would new shocks keep more weight on th efront and help traction?
 
can any one give me some feed back on my time? i would really like to know if u guys think it is acurate. what is a stock 1g N/A? i was personally expecting mid 16's, and was quite happy with 15.97
 
With my 97 RS. I ran a 15.9 with exhasut only, everything else is stock.

What kinda times could I be expecting after a CAI, Headers, and cat? Could that throw me into the mid 15s?
 
ugh...

This subject again. :rollseyes

Fastest all motor 420a DSM ran a 14.6 with massive head work, milled head for increased compression, modified transmission that was "working" at 60mph, and slicks. It is the only NT DSM on the list at DSMtimes.org or .com or whatever. Check it out sometime.

Next to that, the fastest time is about 15.3 with similar mods sans tranny hack job. Come to Norwalk next summer and watch me run somewhere in between.

To summarize: factory freak & times without proof (slip, video) = BS

Have a nice day. :)
 
I only speak up because I saw my name mentioned. But just to clarify a few things about cars I've done work on that were mentioned above. First: When we took the compression reading on Toney's (1TuffRS), Don's (Dudas1), and my (prior to head work) car my method of checking compression was not exactly right.

The standard method for checking compression is to remove all four plugs after the engine warms up, spin the engine over roughly four revolutions, and take your measurement.

The way I took the measurment was to continue to allow the engine to spin over until the compression reading maxed out. Therefore the numbers we took were higher than most.

Toney can clear this part up as to which came first, but Toney's block had been replaced with a remanufactured one from Mitsu (actually chrysler). But I can't remember if we took the readings before or after the block was replaced.

The fact still remains that Toney's car, with limited mods, was still faster than most other -=REPORTED=- ET's. The exact times I don't remember because I've not really been too interested in track times as my eclipse is not exactly straight line material.

As for my new compression readings since the head work (Crower 64462 cams, AEM Cam Gears, Crower springs and titanium springs, PT Cruiser followers, Mopar performance lifters, Howell oversized valves, Ported, Polish, and milling work done by Action Automotive of Raleigh, NC) I've not taken any readings. Until it gets put on a dyno and the cams dialed in I won't be taking any. If the cams aren't tuned the readings won't mean squat.
