What could I run if I hooked?

[termin8r]

So I brought my car to Brainerd Int'l Raceway last night and did some Wednesday Night Open Drags. The track is great normally, but on these nights they don't do any track prep and is quite slippery.

I'm just wondering what my car could run on a decently prepped track.

I was running BFG Drag Radial 315's dropped to 15psi.

Best run:
2.07 - 60'
5.403 - 330'
8.101 - 1/8 mile @92.86
10.378 - 1000'

12.29 - 1/4 mile @ 122.26 mph

Sick trap speed...

I trapped 116 with a 1.6 60ft and ran 11.7....

I can see mid/low 11s with that trap.

With a 1.75 or so 60' time, you should be hitting 11.80's, maybe high 11.70's. Start powershifting 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd, and you could hit some low 11.60's or better. Hit a little weight reduction, (if you haven't already....), and you could run some high 11.40's, low 11.50's. All this purely conjectual obviously and based on the "typical" Terminator driver.

I've heard that a good rule of thumb for 60ft times versus 1/4 times is that for every tenth you pick up on your 60ft, you will pick up 2 tenths on your 1/4

Therefore, if you got your 60' to 1.60, you would pick up 0.47 seconds to 60ft and should reduce your 1/4 time by 0.94 seconds taking you to 11.35.

Theoretically.

well, i trapped 123mph and i ran 11.74. i only powershifted to 2nd gear. air was at low 60s.

my mods are 2.76 upper, intake, mac O/R prochamber, Mac catback. (455-478)

I hope this helps!

I would say you would run 11.7 or 11.8s

I posted in your other thread, but I ran 11.50@120 at full wt. with a little less power than you have in your sig. I think I was at 449/502 at that time. It was also on 18" shittos. I think with 1.7 range 60's and power shifting you can go lower 11's. Probably in the 11.30 range.

Cool, that's what I was thinking. I did powershift the crap out of it and the Spec Stage 3+ I'm sure helped in my favore, it held awesome. It loves banging gears.
