No launch..decent mph Hah.. I found one of my older slips from the track, that's where I went first time out with my new cam, and nitto drag radials. Could not launch for ****. Well with this set up and 4400 Yank PT, there was no way to get any traction. So with ridiculous 2.3 60 foot, I still ran 12.2 and 117.6 mph. Hmmm, I wonder what this will do with my new draglites and slicks.
Dang...that thing will probably go 11.20s-11.40s if you can get it to cut a 1.6 60'
Thats kinda weird though...your trap is good but usually a 2.3 60' means wheelspin...to run that ET I'd think you'd be trapping falsely high...like closer to 120...hmmm
Whats your setup consist of? Is it a 34x" motor?

The higher the 60ft the higher the trap speed. If you cut a sub 2.0 lets say, chances are your mph will go down. But your ET will as well. My guess would be somewhere in the 11.5-11.6 range. -Mark

Yeah, that sounds about right. Well, if I hit 11.5 I'd be happier than hell!
Funny how some of these cars with no cams are running same time that I am aiming for, with all this crap installed.
All I know is if this ****** will run slower than 11.7.. I am selling it to someone who acctualy knows how to build cars.

I wouldn't sell the car based on that. There are alot of factors. Traction and weight being the 2 biggest ones. I know its a ford but look at the new shelby cobra. 500hp but with a 3800lb chassis. Ya it makes great power but it needs it to get it going but yet a C6 Z06 with the same hp with a weight of 3100 and it will put bus lenghts on it. Its all relative. -Mark

Or..... Take your car out in the rain. From a dig floor it and watch the speedo. What happens? The car will hit 40-50 lets say within 20ft. Now do that on a dry road. You will hit the same mph just it will take you longer. That's how I understand it. -Mark

BTW. There is no way I will sell this car, I had it for a while now, spend so much time and money on it, plus all the good times with it, I love this thing.
I'll post up as soon as I get new times! I just pray for the rear end to let me launch 4 good times and then get home in one piece
