I was thinking from data on here and computer simulation it should do 11.6-11.8 if I 60 ft OK

I ran 12.3 with a bolt on car at a weight of 3680. So those numbers should definitely be achievable.

You have a good enough tire to dip into the 11s for sure. Don't be afraid to punish your clutch (it should hold up) and you should rip off a nice 60 foot.

I'd say mid to high 10s realistically. my last setup was an lsa/4l80 made 73xwhp and ran 10.3s. there was high 9s in it had I worked the bugs out. the first 60' will make or break your run.

yeah the 60 ft is killer, ive been working on it. I haven't tried the drag pack yet but I avg 1.6 and 1.7 60ft on stock 20's with toyo r888r. still trap an avg of 130 though

With that amount of power you should be able to hit 9s but consistently should be low 10s.

It's impossible to say what you will run based solely upon mods. Too many factors are involved.


1.Driver experience.
This is the most important factor. Someone who has hundreds of passes in their car will beat other drivers with more hp/torque who aren't experienced driving their cars.

2. Density Altitude.
With everything being equal, someone who is running in negative DA will always get faster times than someone running in positive DA.

3. Track prep.
If you can't hook..... you can't run any kind of decent time.

4. Tire pressure.
As a general rule if your not hooking up you should go down in tire pressure, and add pressure if you are hooking up. The more pressure you can run with in your rear tires, the faster you will be. Your fronts should be at max PSI for the least amount of rolling resistance. If you don't have this right your not going to run a good time.

5. Staging.
If your trying to get your best time only, you should stage as shallow as possible. The more of a running start you can get before you start the clock, the faster you will be.

6. Wind.
You can have everything set up right, great prep, perfect launch, but if your running into a 20mph headwind, you'll never set your best time.

7. Launch.
If your driving a manual, you have to slip the clutch just right, or you will either spin or bog. In an automatic you either footbrake, flash, or a combination of the two. Getting this right to maximize your launch and get your best 60' time takes practice.

8. Burnout.
Your tires must be heated properly if you want to hook up. Some tires require longer burnouts than others. Not heating them up properly, or having water on any of them from the water box when staged is a guaranteed bad pass.

Chasing your best time is fun to do at the dragstrip, but for me, winning races is more fun. Cutting a .0XX light is always my goal, because if I do that, I have the best chance of winning the race. I have several times won races against cars with 150-200 more rwhp than my car has simply because I beat them off the line.
