If you run between a 11.0-11.5 what is your 60' time? I'm wondering if I'm lacking a little. Thanks

 

11.2@128 with poor 1.7 sixty

 

7.29 in the 8th 1.47 60ft best A4 3.73 12bolt with some weight redutions

I think its some where in that range of 11.0-11.5

 

This is a very general question. Gearing, converter selection (or if a manual trans, clutch holding/dump rpm, etc.) and weight will make the 60 foot vary a bunch from combo/car to another.

My Nova goes 1.52 60 foot and 11.42 @ 114 mph with a 3800 stall converter and 3.73 gears. Compare that to a drag-race only car with higher gears and looser converter, the 60 foot could easily be a low 1.4X 60 foot with only 2-3 tenths quicker e.t.

Your 1.55 isn't too far off for the elapsed time, but there is more left there based on the mph. If you are dead-hooking, a looser converter could get you into the 1.4X range, but at what cost?

All decisions you have to make deciding what route you want the car to be.

Most of my 60's fell in the 1.44-1.47 at that ET.

 

11.33 AT 119.73 with a 1.55 60ft. Full weight 02 SS, 3750 with me in it. M/T DRs, 373 12bolt, a4 w/yank ss4000.

 

Just from memory, on an 11.1 pass I 60'd 1.47

 

1.50-1.55

 

mostly 1.47 to 1.51 on 11.0 passes

 

I ran 11.15 with a 1.51 60.

 

i went 1.46 with an 11.0 at 120

 

Well it seems I'm in the game. I would like to get it into 1.40's. I'm considering a rear sway bar but not sure how much it will help.

 

I had the BMR Extreme duty anti-roll bar and it made my car launch dead straight every single time... I love it... and i use it on all my customer cars also...

 

What's been done to the front suspension? Any after market parts there? Any weight reduction?

 

Those times were full weight and everything up front stock. With only one side off the swaybar. I did have the eibach drag springs in the back with an air bag in passenger rear spring, adjustable torque arm, LCA, Panhard bar, comp eng. rear drag shocks.

Now I removed 150lbs and I will be putting the eibach drag springs in the front.

 

Put the eibach drag springs in the front and with the weight reduction I got a 1.483 sixty foot. Tried to do it again and boom. No more ten bolt.

On the second pass I had to get out of it on ther big end. Oil on the track and the car got loose.


It's time to get the nine inch under it.

 

yikes, that sux man. Time to upgrade

When I went 11.0 I went 1.56 60'

 

Jeez I was making 1.47s before I put a real quiet muffler on. I'm doing 1.55 60s now and only running 10.70s @ 128 down from 10.40s @ 133 with a straight thru muffler. All motor (346) true single all the way out the back 3in exhaust w/Hooker aerochamber and slipping clutch.

I'm thinking deep 10s with that 1.47 60ft time. Your car must be real light with a loose converter.

 

between 1.48 and 1.54 at 118-121 mph cam only 4400 stall 4.10's 28 inch tall et drags

 

Here's a timeslip of my car with stock manifolds and exhaust, 16" rims up front, 3600+ lbs. Making around 400ish to the wheels.

1.49 60' and 1.52 60' w/ 11.5 ETs
