the weight on the door is full tank gas and two 180lb persons in the seats so i would think right under 3000 or pretty close to it

 

kewl

 

You sure you weren't reading the Gross Axle Weight?

 

What Psi Do You Run On Daily Driving

 

He said 12 in the first post on tank gas.

 

I'm kind of wondering why they're trapping so low, i'd expect a bit more than that with 560hp. How much does that car weigh?

 

Your confused. He's not making 560rwhp. Maybe 560bhp. And about 440rwhp.

 

I didn't even state rwhp or what, I'd still expect a bit more since quite a few of us in the high 300 low 400 range have trapped 130+, albeit at a lower speed, just curious.

 

That statement just confused me. I might be misunderstanding.

Making 594whp we were trapping in the mid 140's on slicks.

 

I was just wondering why it seems the lower HP guys are trapping higher, but pulling the quarter in a lower time, is this because they can get off the line so much quicker and top out but lose the high-end or what? Just a bit confused.

 

i would think that it should be the other way around, maybe the low hp guys would get off the line but it seems the high end pull of a higher HP car should make for a higher trap speed even if the lower hp car still had a lower et

 

That's what I'm wondering, I've seen a few of the 380-420hp guys trapping 125-130 in the low 11's, but then i see the 500+hp guys trapping 120 at 10's, kind of makes me wonder.

 

probably has to do wiht there gear ratios

BS!

with a TII tranny? and 4.10 gears
don't think so

JD has run 10.8@126-8

If you want to trap higher
get 3.90 diff
or a diffrent tranny

 

who's trapping 125 with 380rwhp in a FC??

 

he does not know FC's or FD's
it seems

Look at Ari Yallon Sonic
tell me what he does in the MPH
with 600+ to the wheels

The limiting factor in our cars is the stock gear ratios
thats why in australia they use corona and celica/early supra tranny's

I could go on and on

Don't compare our cars to others Rat

 

Actually, a quick start will get you a lower trap at a given time than a car with a slower start. The sooner you can get going fast, the less time it takes to cover a certain distance.

 

Actually, thats not true either. Your time doesn't start till you break the beam. R/T's don't affect your ET's at all.

 

I was actually refering to carx7 trapping 121 @ 12.4, and my own car which has trapped 125, and I know damn well i'm not over 400rwhp. I do weigh quite a bit less though, coming in around 2400lbs. And to further this, everyones posted 5-600hp cars, which i said seem to trap less but pull off a greater average speed. Where as i've seen quite a few lower HP cars pull 11-12's anywhere from 120-130, and yes, they WERE fc's.

 

GOD DAM!...
