2.9L Whipple 1/8 mile times

[CobraStruck]

My best ever with whipple was 6.42 at 112 and 9.95 at 142mph, the car made 712hp and I had 3.55 gear and 26x10 slicks. I think you got a great setup on your car and it will definitely go 9's on a good track.

Thanks! Where you on a 2.3L Whipple! If so thats awesome!

Good times OP! :beer:

Thanks!

Mine was going 6.30's @ 110-111 at similar power @ 3700lbs. 6 speed/IRS

What clutch are you using? Where do you shift at? I went 6.30's with my eaton/spray car and was hoping to top that with this car. I guess it's going to be harder than I expected.

Congrats, I was wondering what it ran! In cooler weather it will go much faster, I'm after 6.30's too but you'll get there much sooner than me lol. Have you tried shaving a little weight? I know a lot of people like to run their numbers at full weight but its crazy how much you can pick up if you shave a few hundred pounds.Taking the rear speakers out, moving the battery to the trunk, and running a single seat would do wonders!

Yea I think it will do better with better weather! I hope! Those runs were with full interior/spare tire/jack etc. Going to pull the passenger seat out and the spare tire/jack for the 5/6 speed shootout this weekend.

Nice runs!

Thanks buddy!

congrats Justin !!

Thanks! I wanna see you get that record!

congrats that thing is moving

Appreciate it!

Great numbers! I've only had my 2.9 whipple/E85 setup to the track once and was no where near those times. Iowa is still on E70 winter blend so my AFR's were super rich at 10.3-10.5 and I was on 18" Toyo R888's. Spun through 3rd and my best was a 7.2 @ 103. Awesome runs, Im looking forward to getting back out with good gas and tires!

The car is movin! It runs good for the mods/power that's for sure.

no record yet....installed a 3500 rpm stall and went a few numbers in the wrong direction.....I believe we are going to have to do some work on the tune in the trans:burnout:

I went to our local 1/8th mile track this weekend and was wondering what some of the other twin screw times are compared to mine. Here is a run down of my best pass:

60' 1.43
330' No time
1/8th 6.54
MPH 110.5

I made two 6.5x passes and one 6.63. I am switching from a 3.73 to a 3.55 this week and going back next weekend. I want 6.30s!

Car weight is 3650ish with me and I'm on 28x10.5 slicks. Car is on 22lbs and E85. Made 741hp and 674tq on a dyno jet. Numbers are STD but I don't care about dyno numbers just the numbers that light up on the board when I cross the traps.

Very very impressive especially for hot weather racing.
You will definitely be knocking on the 9s in better weather!

I am pretty sure he improved his PB by a couple numbers this past weeked and conditions were worse..Car is going to be dirty once we get some cooler weather

Cars moves out, good stuff.

Killer times. Sorry I didnt get back with you.

I run a spec 5 clutch. Stiffwall ET Drags and shift at about 6400rpm. Im on 110 also, cant wait to see what the E85 and new motor/solid axle does for the combo.

How do you like the spec 5? Are you running a stock trans? I had planned on going with the spec 5 but I keep getting told it will be too hard on my stock trans...
