Default 1/8 mile, what do you think??????

The car is on sumimotto n3000 285 35 18's Just a std street tire 93w rated

Ran 15.5 PSI all night which is about 575hp

This is only my third time playing with it..Im not too serious with drag racing.

Reaction........+.2161
60FT............. 2.049
ET.................8.0909
MPH...............95.5 MPH

What is the cars potential in the 1/8 / 1/4 with good driver and tires? Thanks for input

That's tough to break down............you are obviously lacking traction. I have run a best of 8.48 at 83.70, but with only 280whp on DR's.

Briguy ran a 11.08 at 530whp, but he's not a first timer and was on Drag Radials. You should be able to go 130mph and 11.0 with a proper tire and seat time.......potentially quicker.

Were you blistering the tires down the whole 1/8th?

Also, what was your 330'?

no, just modulating the throttle to control 1st and 2nd and then hammer down in 3rd

330 was 5.483

Making the top-25 forced-induction is tough, but I think you can do it with slicks.

thats ~5 mph faster than I trap with about the same or slower ET with 100 more HP than me. you should be able to pick up another 5 mph in the 1/8th and 30 more in the back 1/2 of a quarter

some real tires will make all the difference.
