Default Trap speed 104 = 1320 time????

me and a few friends here in milldgeville measured out a small area that is a quarter mile and made a few passes. my car trapped around 104 spinning bad off launch and me not shifting the car that hard because of the limited street traction because i was afraid i might end up in the woods my question os waht kind of 1/4 mile time do you think that might be and my car has full exhaust with no cats and true duals and headers i was wondering if yall think the car would run faster too?

Doesn't sound like a very accurate way to get your 1/4.. why not just go to eatonton and get your 1/8th, at least its real.

FWIW: Your car should run 12.8-13.0 @ 109-110 in the 1/4 with your average driver and a 2.0-2.1 60'.

Peace,
Josh

1/4 mile tracks do not measure MPH at the finish line, like you measured. It is the average of the last 60' that is the trap speed, so there is no real way to correlate what you would run ET wise. The variation is about 3-5 MPH, plus ET numbers have more to do with traction than horsepower.

Exactly. The last 66' I believe is how the mph is calculated.
