Default MPH for 10.9's
122-123 mph good enough to go 10.9's?

im not going to say its cake to do but i do know that if you do get 10s on that low of a mph you are really getting the short times down big time.

slide rule says a 120mph is good enough...

You have the mph definitely.. A 1.45-1.47 will net you your 10.X pass easily. I would be more concentrated on the 60' than the mph.

I'm with the other guys on this.... It's more common than you think. If you get just a little more weight out of the car or somehow get it to leave just right and drop that 60' it'll hit the magic #.
Although Me personally, I have gone 10.99 at 125.6 mph (I'm sure the mph was more so due to the gears- It pulls hard up top) I was leaving easy with the stock 10 bolt with 3.42's. Needless to say I footbraked it to an outstanding 1.659 60' It has alot more left in it, But I need to do some suspension work first. And a 9 inch. lol

Good Luck on getting into the 10's your almost there.

you can go .40s with that mph or even high 30s with a great 60ft

My first time in the 10's. I went 10.99@122 mph with a 1.49 60ft. My best motor pass so far has been a 10.90@123mph with a 1.47 60ft.

I guess it's just a matter of tweaking the suspension and getting the car to 60 foot better.

lol I did this on the stock suspension. I didn't order my suspension until a few months ago and it is still not on the car yet.

4 years ago at pinks all out in the show i ran a 10.21 @ 129, so with that mph (122-123) you should be running a little better than a 10.9.....
