Might want a tad more tire if you plan to juice it out of the hole with that verter and want to dead hook.

Hell, take her to the track and see what she does. I say you will run around low 11's to high 10's. Please make sure to post up your results.

You're going to hit the tires with a VIG 3600 and a 100 shot of nitrous.. It's going to shock the tires pretty damn hard.

All depends on what level of traction you find acceptable. I doubt you will dead hook that kind of shock on that tire. Need a full slick and maybe even more height.

Again, all depends on what level of traction you find acceptable

i don't think you will clear the traps in a 1/4 mile personally, maybe if that is a tight spray converter but sounds like you have a standard loose n/a 'verter.

try it but i predict either you blow through the converter in 2nd and/or 3rd or just dont' clear the traps spraying with that tire and gear(3.73 would be optimal).

just food for thought beyond the 60 foot.

It's only a 100 shot, I think the gearing is a little steep, maybe 3:73's would be better but with a 28" tire and a small 100 shot you might get through the traps. If you have wheelspin out of the hole I'd suggest activating your system after your foot hits the floor. On my last nitrous setup on BFG drag radials that's what I used to do to get traction.

Math shows he should be fine as long as he hooks fairly well.Trap rpm should be around 6200 at 125MPH +/- 300 rpm so if the setup can with stand 6500 trap rpm's it'll work.I agree w/Tek,hit the squeeze just off the line with a slight delay and it should work for u..

That is the same setup as my old setup.I had a a4 vig 3600multi disk and 410 gear with a 28in et street.It will be fine at 100 shot its when you get up to the 200 range is when you will be having to do a gear change.I was also locking up the verter in the top of third.
