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.

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.

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.
