11.27 on 26" radial My last visit to the track I was able to pull off an 11.27 @ 120 with a 1.55 60ft in 1900 DA. I'm still on the stock rear with 3.23 gears and 26" Mickey ET street radials. Just thought I'd share with the people that don't visit the dyno section.

Nice pass! I've been following your posts and build in the other sections and its impressive. Very similar to the build I'm planning. How hard were you launching the car?

If you know of another way to launch an auto car any harder, please tell....not including a trans brake or a neutral drop. A bigger rear end (gears staying the same) will slow any car down due to the possibly added weight and definitely added drivetrain loss.

He said he only launched it at 1500.... thats pretty low in my book. With a built rearend and a lower gear and that 4500 stall he's got I would say that car has more in it. Even with a little added extra weight of the rear. I would assume the car makes more torque at 4kish rpms than 1500. Therefore the car will leave harder.

to expand on what speedtigger is saying some stalled setups like to be preloaded a bit others will take the full flash from an idle and hook hard , I am making the assumption that the poster is taking advantage of his stall convertor but is preloading to around 1500 rpm at the tree and flashing the stall up to its rating from there.
Tires , suspension , suspension setup , front rear weight bias all come into play when trying to get a car to 60 foot .

This is not always true. Some torque converters will hit harder when "flashed" vs. braked to near or full stall. A torque converter builder could probably explain the dynamics of what is going on inside the converter, but I can tell you from decades of drag racing that you just have to experiment to see what the car likes.

Any new times on the car?? I have a similar build coming up in Oct and was curious if you lowered the ET. I'm in the process of changing to 4.10s and a 28" tire before the car goes to Tick. Larry
