The car will run better in cold air and AWD tends to have better traction out of the gate so faster 0-60's. Dragy is a GPS device you can buy that will measure the times for you. But I'm not one of the experts here by any stretch.

Tracks are open in the summer and you sit and wait. 120 IAT is good at the track. 45 degree IAT is good winter dragy. Tracks do prep for great traction. AWDs using stock launch control don't need a track for more traction.Thanks Billy, and yes I understand both of those points. And again, I preface all of this with I am the first to admit, I have no idea what I am talking about. I am not trying to be argumentative, just simply seeking to understand.
I guess what I am still confused about is why does colder air or AWD make a difference when you are talking about dragy vs a track?
Wouldn’t the air temp tonight on the street, be the same as the air temp tonight at a track? And an AWD car on the street is still an AWD at the track.
I could understand if the overall consensus was that dragys are just inaccurate, and .2 sec faster than what you’re really running, but I don’t understand what temps or AWD has to do with a dragy being faster than at a track.
Maybe it’s because that the temps at a track are just going to be hotter in general because your sitting in the staging line with a hot engine before your run? I could certainly understand that.
Or maybe because a dragy is measuring from when you start moving, and at the track you have to time the lights, which can certainly add .2 (or in my case probably a lot more because I’ve never done it).
Still don’t understand the AWD part though.
Again, not trying to turn this into a pissing match.. just trying to learn from those who know a lot more than me.
What numbers are you getting? What mods? What is the DA?
4.8 was with map 3 also
That number is higher than you should be getting stock...did you have a ton of wheel spin? Was it really hot and humid out?
That makes sense! Thank you!
I had some spin for sure no i would say the iat was around 60
But it was dry outside and road wasnt gravel
Those numbers don’t add up and seems like there is something wrong. Or you’re getting a lot of wheel spin and not noticing. Any extra boost from the JB4 will easily spin the tires in 1st & 2nd gears and probably need to use “boost by gear” to help.
