trap speed for 300+ lt1?

I don't track often but what would a lt1 trap with a dyno of 311hp/329 ? Going when they open up, and since then I've added a computer tune and cutout.

First take your HP divided by weight.
Then take the cube root of this number and multiply by 234.

This will get you a decent estimation.

my old setup similar to what you have in your sig had 319/336 and my trap speeds were 106mph 12.98 at 3000' DA

at sea level i would say 110/112mph 12.3-12.5

I'd guess 12.5s @105-110 range just a guess tho alot of it depends on you with the gears

LOL! Not trying to be a show off. But yes, running at sea level is a treat that I can't argue with, but at least you have the city that never sleeps in your back yard!
