Default What ET is 127 mhp good for?

I'm having problems getting my car to hook but I have ran a best of 10.91@127 so far with a crappy 1.70 60'. My stall is a ss4000 which stalls a lot higher with the 402 and my race weight is 3650lbs. What do you guys think my car will run when I get it to hook and hopefully cut some 1.40 60' times?

your trap will drop the better you hook, id say 127 sounds pretty close for your time.

I thought that 127 was pretty high for a stalled auto and so far my mph has been going up the lower my 60' is. When I say I'm not hooking I mean the front end comes up and then unloads and blows the tires off. I have to completely let out to get it to hook and nail again.

Easy. If everything remains the same...power, weather, etc...and you shave 3 tenths off your 60' you'll run about a 10.46.

A rule of thumb is that a tenth off your 60 is good for .15 off your ET on the big end. So, 3 tenths off your 60' = .45 off your ET.
