How much ET should you pick up with...
Phil,
I would say about 11 MPH, with 10 being the lowest(as long as bottle pressure is good) and 13 being on the higher side(ie. good conditions). This is about the norm.
ET is hard to say, depends on all kinds of variables. I usually guess at how much my 60 foot will come down and then double it for what you will pick up on the big end(ie. one tenth in the 60 = two tenths total with what you will pick up on the big end). Some say this is to much, but it depends on how fast your car currently is IMHO. If it is a 13, 14, or 15 second car this rule of thumb works good for me. However if you car is a 11, 10, or 9 second car then it might be more like a tenth in the 60 and a tenth and a half total. Most of the time you see 1 second for a 100 shot for a 11, 12, 13 second or slower car. I think once in 10's it takes a 150 shot to get a second of ET out of the car.
You have been around the site for a while, and your car moves so I think you probably know this already, but thanks for letting me stand on my soap box
What does everyone else think?
