All the big HP drag guys
i haven't posted on here in forever but something has been bugging me. i've seen a bunch of high hp (well over 600whp) 7's over the past couple years but, why haven't they had lower et's? what's holding these things back?

Do you think it's easy to run low 9's on a FD with factory IRS?

I think you will be suprised to know what the real power numbers were for the guys running in the 9's a few years back. I do not believe most ever let that cat out of the bag. Seems like 650 is the magic # on the right suspension to go upper 9's. Also most the cars you see on here making 600+ lately are street cars. Cant compare that to Ari's, Ray's, Adam,s ..etc...

Was Drag racing two weeks ago, my friend James in his FD still IRS with HKS dog box develops 495rwhp attained 10.1@139mph nearly a 9, its fully street legal still. So just under 600hp fly should get you a 9 second run if everything is setup correctly

i can understand the street car but, my man ernie t been around forever. he now produces some very good numbers. he should be in the 9.1-8.9 range. another thing i don't see many 7's pushin 40- 50 lbs of boost. why not? if you're going to drag you're going to need to push the engine. get some race gas and let her go!

Ari has the fastest time on a stock trans, but I didn't know he was running stock rear end too? 9.67 or something crazy?

I agree, it makes a huge difference swapping trannies out, or launching on a properly setup solid rear, it's not fair to compare hp numbers to how fast people should be going. I think people should give some more credit to trap speeds, they are more closely related to hp numbers than et is.

That's wat I was thinking. But I always wondered why no one has trapped 150mph when their hp numbers is more than enough to do so. Even with a bad 60ft, all of those 700 hp cars should be trapping 150 mph. Everyone is shooting for the lower ET ofcourse because that wins the race, but the higher mph seems to impress me more because I care about the engine's true potential.
