No 1.4s. Man i thought you had a 6000 rpm stall and weighed 3200lbs. Oh well guess i was wrong. Lol. Im sure you can do it. Im hoping 1.3s with my 15s 3.73 gears and 3200 stall with 700rwhp. And some weight cuts here and there.

camarojt, you on stock drive train??? Trying to figure out if weld rts 17'' on hoosier 28x10x17 will wreck my richmond 4.11s and so on and so forth. I do have in my garage a 9'' with DSS alumin shaft and 1400 axles. But I'm pretty much in love with my 4.11s......

I was thinking a medium launch and roll into an aggressive 60 foot after a foot or two...

Yes I am stock drivetrain. I bought an aluminum DSS driveshaft, but decided to sell it to a buddy of mine on here. Ill use that money for my cam instead.
With my slicks, now I launch it hard! It sticks like its suppose to.

Who knows tho! Like I told Terry a while back. It's not official until you put it down the track. And I just gotta wait for the chance to get that great air.
That's what I was thinking somewhere around a high 11.4x.

I Ran a 7.35 two different times. Both runs were between 560-600 DA. 1 has a 1.54 60ft and the other has 93.15mph. So take your pic on if you like 60ft or mph lol.
Can't wait for some badass Negative DA. And a 1/4 mile track!
You must have blessed those wheels too! Nice job.

here is the question tho John, if it converts to 11.47 at 600ft. Is it possible to hit 11.39 at -700 ft?? We shall see.

1.30s 60ft with 700rwhp? Not doubting it but it won't be easy. Looking forward to seeing it run in person though.

I may not run a better 60ft than 1.54 but I know it should hold if the track is even decent. These slicks had 0 runs where I spun yesterday. So if Ryan can run 1.4x hitting way harder off the launch than my car, I don't foresee my little Bolt Ons Only car spinning enough to hurt my ET. I've told Dan from the getgo, I've never seen a car that loves cold as much as mine!
I watched Sasquach hotlap his car in 50* weather and it ran its fastest time after he hotlapped it several times. Dan said, try it? I knew my car ALWAYS wants cold. It ran slower!
So I haven't yet been able to run my car at ANY track when it's below 50. When it's 40* on the street, it feels like a BEAST!
It will be interesting to see how it pulls in -1000ft air?

Coming SOON!!

That's all we run around here is eighth mile. That's awesome times for bolt ons. If you don't mind me asking what are your bolt ons? I'm way behind

I've ran the Hoosiers down at 34F. They spun but still launched better than the Zeros at that temp.
Heat them babies up.
Will do! I was heating them up so good yesterday that the starting line guys were waving me forward Bc I was doing like 7-8 seconds before even letting off the brake and rolling out of my burnout!

Truth.
But I agree with Tim's thoughts on surface prep and temp.
