Drag Racing Results - Pocket calculator.Best et for mph.

Somebody may want to sticky this.Found it in a old car craft mag. Had to laminate and put in my wallet.http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj297/sabersaw30/download.jpg

back when my car ran 13.2s It ran 106 mph

Well at 106 you should of been in the 12s. Was you running street tires? It just saying with perfect traction this is what you should run at what mph.

I guess it's a handy tool for reference but there are too many variables for it to be totally accurate.

^yep, my auto sedan ran 12.5@111mph. That table isn't really all that accurate

Yes I was running street tires with a 2.03-2.05 60ft with stock stall and 273 gears.

The table is pretty accurate or around the ballpark within 1-2 tenths...it can be cheated slightly though with an efficient trans and rear :)

Got to get all of that 60ft!!

It assumes 100% efficient Super-Stock chassis, which probably non of us have! Also on a NHRA prepped surface, which any of us rarely get to set foot on.

It is a nice goal to shoot for though - to get the best ET for your MPH.

yea i ran 13.35 at like 106.xx or 107.xx im an auto btw

Sounds like you need some traction.What was your 60ft?

I have been racing for about 25 years and I would say that table is very accurate for cars with aerodynamics through the 80s. However, late model Vettes, Camaros and such have aerodynamics and driveline efficiencies that have been producing higher MPHs. You don't see it in the 1/8th mile, but in the 1/4 it really shows up.

That does not mean that alot of you guys who are running 12 at 120 are doing it right. :razz:

I think my car can run a 12.2 with my new/used 3600 stall,I already have the mph.

I will post my results in a couple of weeks,I am getting the tranny rebuilt first.

I guess it's a handy tool for reference but there are too many variables for it to be totally accurate.

Yes sir; kind of like the old Moroso slide ruler for e.t. and mph.
