I have a H/C C5 corvette making 485RWHP N/A goes 10.6x @ 127 .. If i was to spray a 100 or 125 shot what should i expect to pick up in ET ? is there any rule to figure that out . Thanks Joe

 

any guess welcome

 

I would think about 3-4 tenths, and 5-8 mph. Will you be spraying out of the hole? Y our car runs strong on motor already. I pick up around 4-5 tenths and 9-11 mph on a 150 shot. Thats with a .4 or .5 sec delay on launch and not spraying between shifts.

 

Wow! Thats some good power. Good times aswell, for N/A. I would think w/100-125 shot, should be in the 9's no doubt. Traction plays a big key here also. Good luck.

 

9.8-9.9, trapping 135-136, im guessing

 

i was thinking of setting up to spray from 2nd gear on using a control unit .. I wanted to get close to the 10.10-10.20 area .. dont have a full cage nor do i want one .. but still would like to run a 10.00 class just trying to see if a 100 shot could give me .3-.4

 

Spray it out of the hole and high 9's are very doable.

your gonna have to spray it as soon as you can and as long as you can to hit high nines i know been there done that it took me a 402 with a 200 shot to hit high 9s i have about 650 horsepower to the rear wheels.Good Luck.

 

This will test your tranny & rear more then you think. The power gos right to the wheels. A 150 shot in good weather, 200+ in the summer . You should pull some timing too.

Congrats on your win Joe ....
See you next week.

 

Very true, but a little slip in the tires goes a long way in surviving. I hit mine every time with a 5500/6000rpm clutch dump and as high as 665rwtq at 3500rpm (about 250 passes). Only broke a stock output shaft on drag radials. It's that dead hooking that can be a killer. So, yes we have to keep breakage in mind at these levels and if ya can't afford some repairs well maybe launching easy is the answer.
