Nighttime Drag Run and Tuning Discussion
At 1:26 in
Worlds Fastest Escalade? Twin Turbo LSXcalade Runs 9s!
What happens here
The video transitions to a nighttime run, showing the Cadillac Escalade once again at the starting line of the drag strip. After another controlled burnout, the SUV prepares for its launch. The vehicle quickly accelerates down the illuminated track. Following the run, the driver is seen inside the car, still wearing his helmet, and comments on the sunroof going 'the whole way back' during the run. He then displays another time slip, which shows a quarter-mile time of 9.806 seconds at 136.62 mph. He notes a slight decrease in trap speed compared to the previous run, indicating a potential need to adjust shift RPMs.
Goal: Complete a second quarter-mile run and analyze performance for further tuning adjustments.
