60' vs. ET & MPH...

I am just wondering something here. On the bottle my car ran a 11.9@120mph. That was with a 2.0 60' so with a mph of 120 what would the ET correction be? I had ET streets but I can't get them to stick. My car bogs out with any less than a 5,000 rpm launch but spins horribly above 5,000rpm.

I don't understand the question.

He ran 11.9 with a 2.0 60' time. What would his ET be if he hooked up and had let say a 1.8 60' time

MPH is an indication of 60' time you can hook up or spin out of the hole and the MPH will be roughly the same. ET depends on traction.

The first thing I would suggest is to buy some new slicks. It sounds like the ones you have are shot.

I guess I was asking how much deeper into the 11s I could go with traction. I see some guys with A4s on here running 11.1s at 121mph. I ran a 120.8, so could my car actually go low 11s with a better 60' or would I still be in the high 11s?

Theoretically to run the same ET as the HP required to run that mph would put you around 11.3. Traction isn't the only factor though. Proper gearing will also determine your final ET.

As Stephen said, there are a lot of variables. Just by comparison, my race car traps around 118MPH and runs 11.30's. That's with a 1.59 60'
