Swoope! I use Bridgestone S 540 R-tires 245/40-18 and always do a strong burnout to heat them up. Start at 5500-7000 rpm depending on traction on the road.
Brettus! I only managed 6.15s yesterday but my 1/4 mile ET improve from previous 14.76s to 14.69s at only 92.5 mph or 149 km/h. Soon out testing again, lol.

with full tank of gas & a poor launch - not a bad trap speed though .
0-60 was 6.39 on this run so theoretically with my best 0-60 - 1/4 mile should be over 1/2 sec quicker than this .

while I realise that Gtech is not a drag strip & never will be i've seen independent tests done that show they are accurate within 0.1s - certainly good enough to get a good indication.
Also re the top speed - note the change into 4th right at the 1/4 mile mark - that is hitting the rev limiter which on the speedo (and scanalyser) is 162 km/hr (101.3 mph) so it will be fairly close also.

i guess my point is i cant just go out and rent a drag strip or track when ever i want to test something...
but if i could afford to rent the track everyone would be invited!

Soon (next week) i will finally driving my RX-8 again! It was 7 weeks since my gearbox went caboom and $4300 of gearbox parts later i will have it on the road again. Yes it's a guarantee work. Only one more mod is being done that is a ACT ProLite flywheel with stock clutch. Goal 2007 to go under 5.50s 0.60 mph and a 14.2s 1/4mile with my N/A rx-8. Oh i should also mention that i gonna have a Haltech Interceptor X and my own Ferrita full exhaust system with a www.petergproductions.com headers. That's all (i think) right now.

The times are OK, its the MPH that are not comparable, since they are nor calculated the same way.
At the track the MPH is an average over the last 60ft or so.
On a G-tech its the actual MPH at the end of the 1/4 mile.
Thats why the g-tech always reads 4-5 mph more.

Octane only speaks to the fuels resistance to detonation. This allows you to run higher compression and more advanced timing. Especially in Forced Induction. Since you are NA, and the computer controls timing, there is no reason to run super high octane. It is actually harder to ignite, so it ca gum up your engine if all the fuel is not being burnt.
