estimate my trap speed in 1/4.
I raced a 2002 Z06 with heads/cam/all bolt-ons that trapped 123 mph in the 1/4. we went from 40 mph to ~140. I was ~ 1.5-2 cars back when we let out. How fast do you think my car will trap in the 1/4?
Thanks.
Thanks.

sounds like a school problem hahahaha
A VERY ROUGH ESTIMATE:
if our cars are 12 ft long and you were 2 behind it means you were 24 ft behind
so in 100mph difference (140-40) you lost 24 ft
100mph = 147 ft/s 140mph = 205 ft/s
205-147 = 58 ft/s
my brain hurts... I need either the total distance travelled or the time it took you or both to complete the calculations hehe
but by the time you were going 140 he was already past 140... i give up
you'll trap 115, there it was way faster that way hahah

Can you drive? lol
Have you had your car dyno'ed??? Generally if you make 300 youre trapping around 110, 350 is about 115...
go to the drag strip and find out! As it is we're just guessing.

353 rwhp. and I am a decent driver. I trapped 108 with 251 rwhp or less since the 251 was on a base pull at 14 psi and my previous 108 MPH trap was at 10 psi.

something just doesn't make sense... if you dynoed 251whp at 14 psi there's something wrong with your car
now 251whp at 10 psi is believable but at that power level the car won't trap 108
I was trapping 107-108mph at 315whp at 13.5 psi now I'm trapping 110mph with a metal core high flow cat at the same boost. I wonder what my power is, I'm guessing 320-325whp

started out at 251 rwhp on the dyno (A/F in the high 8s)...finished tuning with 353 rwhp at 14 psi (A/F in the low 10s). boost was set to 14 psi that morning. so Im assuming that the power it made would be less at 10 psi for the run at the track with a 108 trap speed, boost was at 10 psi and Im assuming it couldnt have been making more than 250 at the time.

My stock FD trapped 84mph in the 1/8th mi and 107 in the 1/4mi and all I had was silicone vac hoses, RB springs and Tokico 5-ways, LOL! Try practicing your 1-2 and 2-3 shifts and you will be amazed at how much speed you'll pick up in the 1320.
