Last night I put down an 11.81 @ 115mph with a 1.71 60ft time. I was running 15psi of boost. Im hoping to bring that down some. At the end of the night I ran a 118.79mph trap speed with a shitty launch so I think I can hopefully pull a mid 11. Watcha think?

 

Great et for the mph top end, what are you running for tires??

Ken

 

Im running Hoosier Quicktime Pros. 26 x 9.5 x 16, itd basically a street legal slick.

 

Sorry, I can't see a 11.5 run at 118mph. If you can get a 1.5 60' time then yes, but that would be unbelievable.

1.71 is a great 60' time.

Ken

 

Then I guess I'll have to see what 17psi will do.

 

sweet I ran 11.9 @ 117 on 28X10X16 slicks. if I would have had 26's would have been a little faster.

 

What is the breakdown for your 1/8th mile? (time and trap speed)

MPH 118.15

 

looks good, im impressed... looking forward to the 17psi runs

 

you need a roll cage

 

man this brings me lots of hope since we have almost identical set ups. I just need to really tune the damn thing.

 

Hell yea!

 

Im already on top of that, its getting started this Saturday. Luckly my neighbor does it on the side and does a great job. Its going to set me back a good 8 big ones though.

 

jeez $800 for a cage damn!

 

I thought it was a little high myself but the quality i perfect and he going to put in swing outs for me and its going to be welded to the chassis rather than bolted. All NHRA spec. to run to 9.99

 

1FastT2, thanks for the breakdown on your 1/4 mile times. Unfortunately I do not have a 1/4 mile track near me so I'm forced to live vicariously through others :-) I've always wondered if my car would be able to break into the 11's and judging by your runs, I'd come up a little short. I've had a best run of 7.7 but my mph was only 90. The stickiest tire I've ever run was a BFG drag, never slicks. Too scared I'll bust the rear end :-) Anyway, thanks for the data.

if he's doing all that $800 is normal. i thought it was a normal cage

 

what type of rear end are you using. What about the tranny?

 

Stock Mazda.

 

i won't be racing any red fc's any time soon!! good #'s

 

118mph, you could pull off a 11.30 or 40 with good driving and some tires.

 

LUPE, this thread is 4 years old.

also, i trapped 116 in the 1/4 so maybe i have enough power to get into the 11's!
