I think you mean "won't".
My laughing is a result of reality making your numbers slower.


Seriously if you think you really trapped 112mph you must not have graduated high school yet.

i might be thread hijacking, but this question is for Ju1ce. i trapped 91mph in the 1/8 what should i trap in the 1/4? only ran a 8.0 with a 1.96 60ft tho ******* 10 bolt.

and is that good for a cam only car?

112-113 at a legit track. It's not awful for a cam only car.
I'm sure in good conditions with better driving you could trap a good bit higher.

For example Automach trapped "112" (actually 106ish) in -1500 DA. You probably ran in DA much higher.

105 corrected. It's painfully obvious you didn't trap 112. The ET's through the back half of the track don't even come close to lining up to the MPH. 3rd graders in math class could figure this out.

It obvious he didnt make it to third grade, Juice, which is why his math does not add up.

I traped as high as 87 and i already mentioned that the 1/8th reads a little low at this track for the most part

You didn't trap 111.88, or anywhere close to it.

Doesn't matter, I can show you a legitimate slip that shows a car out trapping you in the 1/8th and moving quicker through the back half of the track by a solid amount, yet trapping lower in the 1/4. Which isn't possible unless the driver hit the brakes... and I didn't hit the brakes.

Let's not get off topic... my Regal is faster than your Mach, you're nowhere near the GTO.



Here's my slip (when stock!) laid next to yours.

You're getting out trapped by 3.48mph at the 1/8th and you're 1 tenth quicker ET.

340ft later you're losing by a hundereth. Meaning in 340ft my stock GTO pulled around your Mach-1.

320ft later you're losing by nearly a tenth... indicating that my stock GTO has pulled away from your Mach-1.

Here's the clincher... in the last 660ft, you started 3.48 mph slower, but ended .014mph higher at the same time you got yanked from being a tenth ahead to a tenth behind (roughly a 2 car pull in 660ft).

I'd love for you to try and justify this logically.

http://www.dragtimes.com/Ford-Mustan...slip-4838.html

Here's a mach-1 just like yours...

1/4 Mile ET: 12.735
1/4 Mile MPH: 108.840
1/8 Mile ET: 8.209
1/8 Mile MPH: 86.730

Out trapped your Mach-1 by 1.5mph in the 1/8th and STILL only trapped 108.8. The slip also suggests he was moving quicker on the back half as a whole since he went from 2 tenths back to only 1 tenth back.
Face it, your car was a 105-106mph car AT BEST and with your new mods you'll be LUCKY to go 110.

Better hope that you go to the same track and they have the same Fisher Price timing system.
