Here's a chart compiled by my latest G-Tech run.
Comments?
I know that the mph is a 2-3 mph higher than a strip run would be because this accelerometer measures true speed at the END of the quarter and a dragstrip timer AVERAGES the mph over the last 60 feet.
I think this may be optimistic by a tenth or two for the quarter, but seems quite realistic for the intermediate times.
Horsepower and torque seem right for a basically unmodded truck (only the airbox mod and a K&N drop-in). I have a K&N Aircharger I can put on quickly, because once assembled, it can be swapped out in a matter of minutes. But it was not installed for this run.
Temperature was 52 degrees. In my experience, these engines are very sensitive to temperature changes and cool weather makes a big difference. I ran 15.2's to 15.3's back in the summer's 90 degree weather with the exact same setup.
I do think that a properly broken in Armada with Big Tow in basically stock form can break into the high 14's with minimal modifications.
I wonder if our slightly better times compared to Titans, even though we are heavier may be due to better top end performance (from the 1/8 mile to the end of the quarter) due to better aerodynamics compared to the pickup bed. I also think that the 17 inch rims and tires on my Offroad package may help too.
