> Hello All,
> I have the V-Tech performance meter. I took it for a test run last night;
> 65 degrees, little humidity, after dark. I ran a best 16.11 @ 89.7 in the
4
> trial runs. I know I can do better, and I found my ET's and trap speeds
are
> higher, when I upshift at 5200RPM thereabout. I would like to know what
RPM
> range is best to shift in, since I have no Chjristmas tree, and the V
teach
> needs a weight input. I used 4500# as a base, but I have no idea what my
> Dak weighs. (96 DSCC 4x4 V8) That would change the ET's if the weight
was
> off, I know, so does anyone know what my Dak weighs? I also know I can do
a
> lot better than 16.11. In the 4 runs I tried *never drag raced in my
life*
> I improved about .400 sec. in my ET. Speed I most likely won't improve on
> too much. I found power braking, or leaving the line over 1200RPM caused
> massive wheelspin which killed the ET, but gave a higher trap speed.
> I also used the horsepower measurement. I measured a best 231 RWHP in 3
> tries. That is about right.
> Any help will be greatly appreciated.
