about to run the 1/4....

Here's a question for you drag racing guru's out there:

With 380rwhp on an FD what 1/4 mile times are possible assuming a good driver...

on street tires?

on drag slicks?

Street tires: 12.0-13.0 @118-122
Drag Slicks: 11.30-12.20 @ 118-120

just a guess! good luck.

Summit like $150 each for mt drag slicks
I think he means drag radials, like nitto 555 or bf goodrinch t/a drag radials. Slicks would be even faster

MT ET Streets (bias belted, not radials) are pretty damn sticky & you can legally drive to the track on em. I have about 330HP to the rear wheels so you will be well into the 11s.

are you running infineonraceway or sacramento? Your trap speed will be better at sacramento, mine is by about 3 MPH.

Thats a relative question. On street tires with 265 rwhp and my cat, I ran 13.0 @ 108 with a 2.03 60'. with 315 RWHP I ran 13.2 @ 110 with 2.4 60'. So its all relative.

2 weeks ago we had a group of 4 of us go down was fun. If you let me know a few days ahead of time, I can meet you there. I need to test my new Water Injection system at the track.
