126mph trap speed....

What type of ET would you expect from a car running 126mph?? Im guessing 10.5ish?

CanuckSS · 06-29-2009, 06:51 PM

My best ET so far at 127 mph is 10.90. If you look at the cam only list, the record is around 10.30 and the best mph is 133 I think. This is a good question. I am guessing gearing plays an important role between ET and MPH.

What kind of 60ft you running? My mustang would run 10.61@125 w/ a 1.40 60ft.....

CanuckSS · 06-29-2009, 07:03 PM

I think my best is 1.45, usually around 1.48-1.52. I need to grow a pair and launch at 7000rpms!!

Dave J · 06-29-2009, 07:11 PM

I would say 10.70 ish with a 1.50 60ft

Mid 10s is about right.

JL ws-6 · 06-29-2009, 09:21 PM

I went 10.52 @ 126.5, 1.40 60 foot n/a

What was the race weight, gear and approximate hp when you ran the above #?

Thanks

I would say high 10.40's or low 10.50's. I've gone 10.78 at 122 with a 1.48 60 foot

Here is a good rule of thumb

1320 divided by mph = optimum et.

Try it its right on!

10.75 @ 125 mph yesterday on the bottle. That was with a 1.50 60ft.

3550 and I had a 4.10 gear in the car, 28 inch tire, T400, roughly 470 to the tires.

I changed the converter to one built for alot of nitrous, car doesn't leave like it did with the n/a converter (at least the bumper stays off the track now LOL) and I swapped to a 3.73 gear so it would have longer legs.... I am curious what getting the car to 3350 (where it is now) would have done to the et's, when I finally get it back together, it should be about 3000, be very curious what it would have done at that weight when it was n/a

FASTFATBOY · 06-30-2009, 08:30 AM

See the sig, mph was actually 125.7, 126 just sounds better lol.

MPH is a measure of a weight to HP ratio but is no way a viable guage of ET as per there is NO information about the car.

There are plenty of cars out there that MPH in the 10's but ET's in the high 11's

Care to share the ET you got? Or what your set up is....

stonemonk · 07-01-2009, 09:54 PM

Car weighs 3500 w/ me in it. It has abit more mph in it also as the spray comes on late....

Does that work for the 1/8 mile by chance?? Very cool either way.
