[QUOTE="cobra gt 07, post: 12685102, member: 102136"] [b]3700 race weight[/b] Is that 3700 pounds with driver, or is that just the weight of the car? If that is with driver, that is pretty good. I was shifting between 6,000 to 6,200 rpms due to fear that the rods wouldn't handle 6500 rpm plus. I would think it would take more power than 700-800 RWHP in order to break into the 8's, unless you are going to pull some amazing 60 foot times and rev higher than 6200 rpms. My car weighed 3,924 pounds with driver when I ran my 9.778 pass. This was with a 1.508 60 foot, and suspension was still not dialed in. If my 60 foot could be taken to a 1.30, I likely would have been in the 9.4's. That is a long way still to a high 8 second pass. With dialed in suspension, extensive weight reduction (and transfer) to the car, I think an 8 second pass would be possible. But, is it worth the risk of having the rods fail? [/QUOTE]
