Dragy Performance Meter - Initial Testing

I purchased a Dragy GPS Performance Meter as I wanted a way to do some level of baseline testing before I started making modifications to the car.  At this point, it is stock with a few exceptions.  Those are that is has a full header back exhaust system and a cold air intake.  The cold air intake is a cheap SVE version that has a small generic filter on it.  The exhaust is a BBK equal length shorty header, 2.5 midpipe with H, and then a Flow Master 40 cat back setup.

I was largely growing familiar with the tool so I don't know that my runs are really fully representative of what the car could do.  I had the A/C on low the whole time, an 1/8 tank of gas, and it was a morning which wasn't sunny and 84 degrees.  I didn't particularly find smooth roads and just stopped and went to 60-70 MPH.  

I left at 2,000 RPM and went to 5,500 RPM in each gear up to 3rd.  My best was a 2.96 second 0 - 30, a 7.98 second 0 - 60, and a 10.4 second 1/8 mile.  That really isn't fast at all.  That leads to an estimated quarter mile time of 16.1 - 16.6 seconds.  I'll try it again on another day without the A/C on and I'll see if it is any better.  This was my best of three runs and it was also the last run.  I think the first few I was just getting the hang of it a little. 

The performance is somewhat below what I expected so I started searching for the reason.  Once option is that the throttle body isn't opening completely.  I decided I'd start there as it is easy to check and I found it is indeed not opening fully.  The floormat was stopping the pedal from going to the floor.  Even when that isn't the case, it still isn't opening fully.  

I took the above picture and ran it through ChatGPT to ask it to estimate the percentage the throttle is open in the above picture and the amount of the obstruction considering the obstruction covers a large section of the middle of the air flow path.  ChatGPT indicated it appeared to be 12% open which would mean it is obstructing 21% of the airflow.

I'll need to work on correcting this but for now I wanted to post my initial results using the Dragy meter.

For reference, I used the Dragy in my truck and it went 0-60 in 7.52 and the 1/8th mile in 10.06.
