Hi guys, went to the track last night and ran 3 1/4 mile runs and shitty et times but ok mph
R/T .354
60 2.1
330 5.549
1/8 8.213
mph 93.99
1/4 12.374
mph 120.71
Now all 3 runs were at 120mph , my best was 11.8 at 124 with a 1.9 60 last year or so. This is in street form ( nitto rear )wheel hopping bad. I know that my R/T and 60 sucks. My question is how is my 1/4 mph seen ok but trap speed sucks, is the dig killing me ? The car is just shy of full weight and a t-56 with 470rwhp full suspension. I'm new to drag racing so please help, thanks

I'm no expert, but 12.3 @ 120 mph with a 2.1 60ft sounds right to me.

I've seen cars that have lower mph but in the 11s

Give us a better list of the actual suspension components you have and the wheel/tire combo. You need to work on the 60-33 times for sure to get the et in line with the mph.
What shocks are on the car?

That rwhp should go 10s

Run a 28x10 ET drag stiff sidewall

And call mwc for some afcos!!

I have viking fronts, comp rear, drag bar no front sway bar. Complete adjusible suspension. I do have drag wheel setup with hoosier qtp 27-10.5 and skinnes for front. I have extened wheel studs but I have to install longer ones in the back, and plus drive 50 to the track . So the dig is killing my times ?

I think, eliminate wheel hop and some more seat time. That mph is low 11's
IMO

Car seems like it has plenty of power. I have to agree with the others. Work on eliminating the wheelhop.

Some more seat time and getting it to hook better you'll get there.

Bias ply tire with 6 speed, i bet the car bogs down to around 2000 rpm's when you launch.

what are you saying, I should use radial tire ?

You make up roughly 2 tenths of total ET for every 1 tenth you shave off your 60'.

You should be in the 1.60 60' range. So a .5 drop in your 60' would give you close to a second off your final ET. That would get you in the 11.3 range.

I'm run a 1.35 60' with 295 55 15 MT drag radials. If you managed the same 1.35 60' you could run 10.80's at the same mph.
