What sould be my E/T at M8....mavricki18 10-07-2003, 07:52 PM I ran a 13.48 with a 2.1 60' at martin. Sence than i lowerd my car, i plan on gitting relocation brackets and an air lid before M8. Depending on weather what should be my E/T? What else should i do to hit 12s? KGRESOCK 10-07-2003, 08:57 PM What's your MPH? Tires? SSnthe10s 10-07-2003, 09:09 PM probly like 14.00 cuz that always happens when people try to predict times. but if i had to say prolly a lil faster seeing that it will be a lil cooler and probly less humid. mavricki18 10-07-2003, 09:39 PM Originally posted by KGRESOCK What's your MPH? Tires? 104 on that run i have had traps as high as 106 and i have 245 nitto drag radials Rodrigues 10-07-2003, 09:40 PM 13.4 mavricki18 10-07-2003, 09:42 PM Originally posted by SSnthe10s probly like 14.00 cuz that always happens when people try to predict times. but if i had to say prolly a lil faster seeing that it will be a lil cooler and probly less humid. LOL that dose seem to happen a lot i probably just jinxed my self :mad: 94_Z28_ragtop 10-08-2003, 12:53 AM Based on your previous 60' and mph, I'd say don't expect anything quicker than 13.3's and you'll be okay. I'm not saying you can't/won't run quicker because you could, but just don't get your hopes up. You didn't say what the weather was at Martin, though, so it makes it tougher to determine how the weather at M8 will affect your car. To run the 13.3, I'd say you'd need a 1.9x 60 ft, which is possible, and a 106 mph trap speed, which is also possible. The thing that would concern me is that you had the car lowered and don't have relocation brackets on it yet. You actually may take a step back on the 60 ft time or stay right where you were at depending on whether the drag radials were added after Martin or not.

Your 60 foot times suck. the rule of thumb is for every 10th at the 60 ft you pick up 2 at the end. Mines a auto so i can't give you any good advice about launching a stick but there are plenty here that could. Good luck I think with improved launches you should almost be in the 12 with out the mods. CLOKWRK 10-08-2003, 09:23 AM I was looking over timeslips from past M-events. I found a 12.94 @107 1.98 60' :D 12's are possible. You'll have to get a sub 2.0 60' and shift like a madman!

Since it's a stock 10-bolt rear, I'm guessing that he babied it off the line to keep from breaking. I'll most likely be candya$$ing it off the line for the same reason. Of course, LTLHOMER has other ideas when he drives it, but it'll be easier for me to deal with my wife if he breaks it and not me. :D He's lining up some ET Drags and putting them on my Welds. I let him drive it last night for the first time and he likes the torque it has. :thumb: mavricki18 10-09-2003, 09:37 PM Originally posted by Rippers_Evil_Twin If you don't mind someone being brutally honest with you ....

I am well aware of the $hitty launches and im workin on it but i just cant get her to not bog or spin :mad: CLOKWRK 10-09-2003, 10:31 PM Originally posted by mavricki18 I am well aware of the $hitty launches and im workin on it but i just cant get her to not bog or spin :mad: Practice, practice, practice! It ain't easy:) If your car is lowered, relocation brackets should help. | ||
