Default I ran 1/8th mile last night, 1/4 mile guesses?

alrighty got some good action with the new et streets. First time on them at the track so 60's still need some work but picked up .5 seconds so im happy
here are my 1/8 numbers

Reaction-.708
60 ft- 2.051
MPH- 91.64
ET- 8.214


mind you this is racing at Qualcomm stadium where the Chargers play lol, basically a parking lot, very shitty prep, guys with m/t drag where pulling 1.8 sixty's...so yea you get the idea
.................Any 1/4 mile predictions for me?

thats a good mph. my fastest at qualcomm before my heads and cam was a 8.0 at 86. your 60 ft can improve a lil bit. ive gotten down to a 1.8 before there pretty consistently. i would say very low 12s possible high 11s

That is a pretty good 60ft time for the Q. And your car is untuned and has shorty headers? sounds like you have a strong runner there.
You should be in the low-mid 12 second range.
here is a good example of a high 11 second six speed car.
R/T: .209
60': 1.783
330: 5.050
1/8: 7.724
MPH: 92.58
1000: 10.020
1/4: 11.932
MPH: 118.71

I'd guess you'd have to run at a longer track.

haha yea untuned and stock manifolds with that bassani ORY, and a cutout right before the muffler like a loudmouth setup with a magnaflow muffler lol, ive also taken out about 150 lbs and i can tell a big diff since i took all that out, I think thats why its running pretty strong

I have thought about doing the same thing on my next car with the ory on manifolds because it is an easy 30min swap to get it smogged again.

Where did you take that weight out of? You might cut a better time there with a full tank of gas or some weight in the back because you will be able to launch harder.

do you have a converter
because with that 1/8 mile your only good for a 12.4-12.6

cammed 6 speeds usually gain about 25+ mph in the last 1/8 mile. last time i ran the 1/8 mile i had similar 60 ft as you and ran an 8.4 @ 89 mph spinning like crazy in 95 degree temps. based on previous 1/4 mile runs i calculated i would have ran a 12.7 @ 114 that night if that track was a 1/4 mile track.

I bet you would have ran a 12.4@116 that run.



Quick Reply: I ran 1/8th mile last night, 1/4 mile guesses?
