Default What do you think my car will run?

Here's the scoop... this is what my car ran last Saturday at a poorly prepped track with a DA of +2900FT (11.2)... The sixty foot was in the 1.75 range, but it normally goes in the 1.50 range... What do think she'll run with a good sixty and better air... the best DA we see here is ~ -1000FT...

I plan on spraying between 100-200HP through a TNT Ring kit, but want a 10 second timeslip on the motor 1st...

In case anyone is wondering... it's got a 385CI LS1 and 700R4 with 4.10's in a 12 spooled bolt... race weight is ~3375lbs...

Thanks!

The forecast is rain all weekend I will be hitting the track next weekend to pick up my 10 second timeslip It's a big event at the track and prep should be top notch... I am praying for good cool weather!

I ran 10.8 @123mph with my nitrous motor w/ a 1.5 60 ft. Your 60ft is for **** on that run. Fix that and you're there.

THANKS... That's what I am really hoping for... at a good track the car will cut ten 1.5's in a row... next weekend is a big event at our best local track and it I'll be heading out to see what she'll do

How much do you spray and what does it run?

This is what my car normally looks like leaving the line...

Thanks Mike!

It will look even better with a 10 second timeslip in the glove box

I am going to get a Wolfe Single Sway Bar to help the car launch straighter... hopefully this will help in my quest for the 10's!
