7.36 to 60mph
16.12 quarter mile

Good, bad or indifferent ?

[PatrickAE86]

car and specs ?

edit: if it's a standard ae86, it's not bad at all

[totta Crolla]

pretty much stock '86 apart from smallport engine and inlet with CatCams 260/266 cams.
All interior plus full rollcage and all steel panels.

I did 6.0s flat with around 190hp, 5.3 with 250hp. So 7.3 is not shabby by any means. There should be more people around these days with cheap smartphones that can measure this stuff.

My 0-60 time is ok and probably because the car will do more than 60mph in 2nd gear with the cams. fitted.
Quarter mile is not so good and possibly proves a lack of power low down.
Times were taken from an accurate trip computer.

A 5.3 would mean at least 2 gear changes ?

Sub 15 seconds quarter mile

Cams don't change anything about speed !
The speed is based on:
-the rev of your engine
-the gear ratio (2.022 for the 2nd gear on a T50)
-the final ratio (4.1 in Uk ?)
-and the size of your tyres.

Even with a weak 4AG, if it can rev over 7500rpm you can go over 60mph in 2nd

Well whilst the standard engine can rev to 7500rpm it is well past its peak power at what ? 6600rpm and 52mph ?
So cams can ensure the power is made further up the rev range and in this case allowing over 60mph in 2nd gear and still accelerating.
Cams change quite a lot about speed :wink:
The final drive of my U.K car is 4.3

you don't get my point but whatever....

1/4 mile in 13secs flat, could be into 12s easily but street tires and short gearing let it down.
