if you trap 106, your ET could be...

what?
my car traps 106 consistently and i've run everywhere from 13.2 to 14.0.

Also i ran a 13.2 and a 13.4, both with 2.1 60' times.

Just curious. Thought i could touch 12s, somewhat disappointed. However i did get a .544 R/T that i'm proud of.

Not exactly sure but I know my bud with his 383 camaro ran a 12.19 @ 109mph so if you could just get your 60 foot time down a little you'd be in the 12s for sure. But I have noticed that most turbo cars run higher MPH vs the "muscle cars" at the same ET.

R/T doesn't mean anything for your actual 1/4 mile times. Your 60' is everything. For every 1/10 off your 60' its good for 2/10 off your 1/4 mile time. Seems like forever ago, but when I first got my FD I went 13.2 @ 105mph w/ a cat-back and intake only.

You never can tell!! I went 12.3 with a 108 trap speed and a 1.89 60 foot.. I also went 12.6 with a 115 trap speed and a 2.1 60 foot. But really, when you get to the end of the track look at your time and thats what you ran!!! hahahahhaha..

I would say low 13's. Maybe high 12's with a good launch.

I don't think that the Camaro would be a good comparison cause I'm sure the gearing is different. I remember when I was doing low 13's my trap speed was in the 104-107's so your in the neghborhood. but you'd be amazed at how much of a difference you can make by practicing on your launches.

106 traps have the potential to cut a 13.0x or possible a really high 12 - 12.9x if you nail the launch down.

I have run 13.09 @ 105.9, I have also run numerous 13.2-13.3 with traps ranging for 104-110. My car seems to trap higher if I get more wheel spin off the line.
