Is this right?
I had a friend ask how much faster a tune would make my truck(in truck lengths). I said idk. but i got home and tried figurin it up.
Supposivly a tune takes a second off 1/4 mile times(they said it on nelson performance testimonials). and most stock trucks are going ~88 mph in a 1/4.
soo.
88miles x 5280 feet =129 feet/second
-------------------
1 hour x 60min x 60 sec
and a truck length is a bout 20 feet?
129/20 = 6.5 truck lengths
so given the circumstances. a good tune should give ya about 6 and a half length advantage(at 88mph) over stock?
