Default 121 mph in the 1/4. What should it dyno?

The car is 3650+ with me. It has run 121.8 in 1000' da. Any idea how much rw it might be putting down?

121mph in a stick car would be 425-430 rwhp. Not sure what a auto would be

420 to 430... But dyno's are all over the place on what they will spit out... trap speed tells the honest story every time. Did you put the new intake on it?

What are the rest of the time slip numbers, with a 11.82 and that MPH you are spinning a lot which will increase the MPH on the big end. If you get a good 60 ft, which I am guessing you didn't on street tires, the ET will go down but the MPH will also go down.

Yep, 420-430. Know someone that runs the exact same times and weight and this is where he's at.

my car made 430-440 rwhp (depending on the pull) on a dynojet and went 124-125 mph in 80 degree air (cool for FL). its a TH400 with tight nitrous converter @ 3600 lbs

you guys talking about 475 rwhp and 121 mph - what in the world are you doing? lol

Depends on the dyno, the DA, and the driving. I've seen an M6 fbody trap 121 in about the best weather you're gonna get and dyno 408 rwhp on a Dynojet. There's also the other end of the spectrum, with 500 rwhp cars that can't get out of the high teens for various reasons.

With the average numbers out there, I'm with all these guys, that it's probably 425-440ish on a Dynojet.

Just from my experience, without changing anything else (tires, gear ratio, etc.) I have never trapped higher due to less traction. I haven't seen anyone else do this either. Usually it happens when someone throws a bias ply slick on there with low air pressure, vs a radial with higher pressure, or puts a taller tire on, which aids traction, but changes the gear ratio.

Make a clean pass and then make a second pass without changing anything, but blow the tires off on purpose and I do not believe that the mph will go up. Never has for me.

I could definitely be wrong about this, but haven't seen it to be true so far

I trapped 123 with 405rw in a Vette. It weighed 3360 with me in it. So I am going to go with 425-435rw. I also argee that the spinning equals MPH is a bunch of junk. It has never happend to me or any one I know. If you can't go WOT from hit to quit you will not trap higher. The only concession I will make is if you bog really bad due to lack of power and allot of traction. Then a hair of spin may keep you in your power band and increase trap speed.

true enough. I have a set of milled TSP 5.3L heads on my bench to go on the car which will help
