Default barley made 12 seconds, but have a question

ok mods/time in sig, but how do i determine what my time would be if i ran a better 60ft? so right now i run 12.9@106 with 2.0 60ft. If i were to run a 1.8 60ft what would my time be?

Your MPH seems a little bit low.....with 2.73 gears and just LTs and lid my car ran a 12.7 @ 109 on street tires...that was with a 1.9 60 ft.

No hook would be my guess. The car HAS to get going. Somebody should start a thread about launching/hooking. Or maybe what order to add mods to the vehicle, like starting with a rearend then suspension. Power obviously means NOTHING when I can hang with modified LS1 cars.

depends on whom you ask, but typically for every .1 you drop on the 60', you gain anywhere from .15 to .20 in the other end, so as an ESTIMATE, from 2.0 to 1.8 on your 60' should net 12.5 or 12.6 ish...

Get a higher stall converter with DR mid-low 12's depending on traction.

Definitely get some drag radials and post up results, because you should see a drop in ET and an increase in MPH. Traction may be your trap issue, as previously stated.

Haha, there are stickies all over the place that talk about pretty much everything you mentioned.
