with good 60ft time 1.8 or so you should be deep in to the 12s. I have had enough with my crappy 60ft times. 2.0 being my best ever. Im gitting a 4.10 with T/A cover, pro stars with big oll mickey thompson street radials, LCAs and some other goodies to make the damn thing stick.

Dang, you need traction bad. Can't wait to see how you do once you can hook.

Im gonna guess 12.5's at about 115mph on a good pass. but clearly theres tons of room for improvement with better air and some good traction. what are you shifting at? curious with that cam cause I just helped a buddy put that same cam in. and its time for a 4.10 huh?

114 is a mid 12 trap. What a beast. Can't wait for the stickys to be on there and see what she really runs. :cool:

I guess it all depends on the car. My car trapped at 110Mph and I ran a 12.3 with a 1.8? sixty time.

And I ran a 12.15 when I was running 110mph. I cheat though. Auto with a converter. :D

Holy Crap, 11.80's at 110Mph.

It has to be an auto with a huge converter, right.

Do give details on the car.

Thanks,

Hey Al,

11.40's now............ Nice. What size converter are you running. What tires?

I am looking at upgrading my 2800 converter. I did my 12.3 @ 110Mph with a 1.85 60' at Milan on Eagle F1's. I have a new set of 275/40/17 Nitto Drag radials going on the car Saturday. I hope with going to a 3600-3800 converter and Nittos I can get the car down to a 1.6? 60' time and get the car into the high 11's.

Later,

Bill

I think your 12.627 sounds about right.

Actually I haven't updated my sig lately. New best is a 11.299 @ 118.59 on a 1.501 sixty foot. Race weight is still 3525 lbs.
Yank pro thruster 4400, 4.10 gears, spool, 26-11.50x16 ET streets.

A good 3800-4200 converter will over power the Nittos. I'd try the new MT ET street radials if I wanted to drive to the track.

stock 10 bolt,3.42s for now (I am going with a 4.10 very soon) i dorve on the scales at 131 one time with about no gas and me in the car and it said 3400 but that seems a little on the light side.?

You're about as far as you will get 'till you go 12 bolt and sticky tires so that you can launch hard.

1bad86Z (Scott K) is about to put a 4.10 with solid crush sleeve and maybe ill get a TA cover in the near future and hopefully that will make it a little stronger. I have a deal with a guy to trade my BFG DRs for a set of MT streets 26/ 11.5/16s and than maybe i can launch better than a 2.XX 60 ft time.

Keep them at 21-22 psi so that they can spin a tiny little bit. Might save you rear so to speak :)
