Mid 12's on those tires. With some drag radials and 15 psi you should be able to get it into the 11's.

Depends on how well you can drive. If you've never launched your car before, you'd probably post better times with your ES300/Camry in the background. Good luck.

definately 11s with some mickey ET streets. Street tires mid 12s.
At 15 psi you should be making around 370rwhp..damn you might get low 11s.

If it is your first time out ever don't expect to see 12's. Especailly with that much power, you'll be spinning all the way into 3rd gear. Turn down your boost a little bit so it won't spin so much at first and start off with launching at 3krpm.

After you get used to it turn up your boost and maybe launching at a slightly higher rpm. Lower your rear tire pressure to 25psi.

Ran the car for the first time today. I am a little disappointed but I know I have great things to look forward too. Best time was 13.3 at 110mph, rt 1.14 and 60ft 2.27. Car weighed exactly 3100 lbs with me.

Car drives alot different than my Supra did...and it was set up to run on race gas. I had a 1/2 tank of pump gas so I just ran it that way.

what size rim and tires? i know the c2 arnt the lightest wheels. try getting some et streets and using those light weight stock wheels. work on those 60ft times. that is where you will make the biggest diffrence between runs. good mph for a 13.3.

your 60ft needs to come down. and your trap speed tells a diferent story from your ET's.
although it has nothing to do w/ et's...make sure you stay awake after you stage.
