i have always heard a tenth in sixty is two tenths on the long end so if you got a 2.00 60' i think you could run 12's.

A tenth in the 60' is usually 1.5 sec. off of the 1/4 mile.

I do think your car can run 12's, but you'd need a good 2.0 sec. 60'. I think DR's will get you there no problem. Buy some BFG DR's, and you'll run 12's with some practice. Of course you'll only be eeking 12's, but you'll run 12's.

i think you mean .15 dropped in the 1/4 for every .1 dropped on your 60'. that is what i've heard, i guess we'll see when the track opens this year.

also, if you're going to drop the clutch with drag radials you might want to start an aftermarket rearend fund.

Oops, I stand to be corrected, you are right.

He isn't pumping out all that much horsepower. The general consensus is that you can handle up to 400whp on the stock rearend, so long as you are not running slicks. Of course each cars rearend is different. A 12 Bolt, while nice, is really expensive (Over $1,500.00).
