Default how many mph does you car pick after the 1/8?
how many mph do you guys pick up after the 1/8? my best mph after the 1/8 was 22 mph, but consistant 21mph. I am wondering is my converter efficient after the 1/8.

I just went yesterday and looked at my timeslip:

20.69 mph on one pass and 20.73 on the next.

too lazy to dig up some old ones but that'll give you an idea with a vig3200.

Well, it's going to matter what type of car/motor you have and what power adders you are running also. Some cars shine on the top end so you're going to see bigger gains there.
On motor I picked up 22.35 and on the spray 24.19

With poor traction, I pick up 37. On a better run, it only picks up 31.

Edit: Vigilante 10.5"

99MPH in the 1/8th, 125 in the 1/4! Neal Chance/4800 stall. Definately not linear on different setups here.

89 in the 1/8th to 112 in the 1/4 so only 23 mph with the TCI SSF4000. Keep in mind that this is stock longblock with no LS6 intake or underdrive pulley. Breathing through an LS1 intake...
