trap speed is a good indicator....if you could hook in every gear I think a 9 second run is possible

So trap speed is the tall tell, Im not a big drag racer more of a top end racer but I was just courious about what everybody says. I mean I ran that on 18/ 9.5 rims with bfg street tires, and everybody says do slicks hmmm... So traction and a good sixty will maby net me a high 9 sec. That would be cool because I would be the only rearmount F body in the 9, But I dont care

pretty sure with a 1.5-1.6 sixty you'll be very very close to a 9second time slip

With that kind of trap you can pull off a 9 on ET drags on some draglites or something similar.

I'd go 9in. What gear are you running? You might think of running a smaller wheel tire combo
