Question on times...

Two weeks ago I made it to the local 1/8 mile strip to test out a new tranny and converter. I pulled 7.5@90.82mph on a 1.7 60'. What do you all think this will do in the 1/4 at a track that is better prepped? Tomorrow I am going to Gainesville (1/4 mile) and I would like some kind of indication befoe I go. BTW- car is a 1996 Camaro, LT1.

Nice car man.

If you get a decent 60ft, like the one you got at the eigth mile track then you should see 11s. Good luck man. And post your results.

TNT- I have run 12.6@113 already on a 2.2 60'. SInce the 60's are way down (the 1/4 track is waaaaayyyy better prepped than the 1/8 track) i should get into the 11's with some more mph, i hope.

JCB- got me a new alarm clock today..heh heh
