Edit: While checking around I found this calculator that is pretty cool. It shows how much power it takes to gain mph in a exponetial curve. http://www.ajdesigner.com/fl_horsepo...trap_speed.php

Can you clarify on the formual a little? Is it (MPH X .00426) / 3 X weight? I come up with 889?

DOH! .01 seconds away from my goal, oh well. The trap speed was definitely nice though! This was the first pass of the day, only a 1.65 60' as I didn't know what to expect on my new tires. Launched really soft, wish I wouldn't have.
Ended up quitting after my botched 2nd run. Tire on the drivers side got chunked pretty bad when I launched hard, and I ended up spinning anyways. Apparently I didn't clearance the wheel wells quite enough.
DA was 2492 feet. 4350 lb raceweight
All in all, I'm happy. Got my 140+ goal reached. Try next weekend for the 9.xx goal!
More info on the car can be found here

It's a street car so I still have AC, stock wheels, heavier brakes, etc. I also gained 100lbs with the iron block. It also gained a good amount with the 4L80e swap, turbo, etc and the driver (me) is 300lbs
I could have a jockey drive it, but it's my car, so nah. Haha

The M&Hs are 28s. I put them on and street drove them and did a few street launches and stuff and then took the tires off and checked for rub. The plastic inner fenders needed to be heated up and tucked in, everything else looked OK.
After my hard track launch, the front fender lip dug in. My fenders are rolled but at the very front where there's thicker material, they weren't rolled. So now I'm grinding that down and will hopefully be good to go.
I attached my full slip
