how deep in the 11s
how deep in the 11s ran the 1/8th in my heads/cam/nitrous car. It has 4.10s spraying 125 thru a 6spd. Couldn't get the MT drag radials to hook up but still managed a 7.9 at 96 mph on a crap 2.0 60'. What might this translate to in the 1/4 if I get some traction out of the hole? what are some good launching tricks, mods, etc?..or should I just start lightening up the front end? The track may have been poorly prepped as well.
didn't think to check as I bought them off of a friend...They're 16 in MTs. Its not a tall or wide tire thats about all I can tell you till I check the size of them in my friend's basement where I store them. The window switch comes on @ 3200. I launched about 3500 on 14 psi and spun feathering it thru 1st and 2nd and powershifting 3rd.
I would guess mid to low 11's unless you change something to hook better. I run 7.8's and 7.9's but only at 89 mph so you'd definately pull harder on the top end. That translated to a 12.1 at 113 for me....
I would get some taller/wider tires and drag shocks on the front, that'll help a ton on the launch. I trap almost the same in the 1/8 but at a 7.3 so if you can spray out of the hole and hook I could see bottom 11's to high 10's

Yeah it does, but if he can hook harder and spray earlier without peddling then MPH would go up and ET would go down. He should easily have the power to run 10s.
that along with some weight reduction and skinnies up front should make it plant better
thats good because I was hoping for mid 11s atleast. Are you going to civil wars?...I thought about it, but I gotta find out how much entry fee is. This saturday Im going to Maxton (old airport) for some top speed runs. Think I should spray thru fourth or will it level out in 5th off the spray and end up with the same mph?

I went in the spring against better judgement and I won't go again. Too crowded to run and I don't care about Mustangs. If I want to race an event it might be different but I don't.
It wont level out in 5th, you can pull 5th out on motor. You'll just get to 5th a lot faster.
I ran 7.7 @ 93 mph in the 1/8th, then when i got my 1/4 mile slip i ran an 11.8 @ 119
You need traction before the 1/8th to makes use of your car. You might need a slick to transfer that power

I ran a 7.4 @ 93 in the 1/8 and that was a mid 11 pass at 119 in the 1/4. No point in speculating what it could be, go run it and find out.
In this case, he is spinning off the line. When you spin off the line, you gain MPH. That's time slip reading 101.
Now if you want to do a little bench racing... I trapped 93 mph in the time slip I posted. That's without spinning/bogging. So he would be doing 3 mph faster than me @ the 1/8th mile, but would be behind 3/10th's of a second. You figured if he wasn't spinning he'd be trapping like 94 maybe 95 ish (i'm assuming he spun a good bit, because of the 60' time). So he would be 1-2 mph faster than me but would have to make up 3/10th's of a second on the top end. That's a lot of room to close with not a lot of mph to do it with.
and again to prove my point that trap speed means nothing. I've seen cars that trap 122 mph and only run a mid 12 second pass. That's without spinning/bogging.
That's what I was reffering to. And in his case if he hooked up he's only going to gain mph because he was spinning through 1'st and 2'nd. And if you've seen someone run a mid 12 over 120 without spinning or bogging that's just a terrible driver.
