Dont get me wrong it will be somewhere in the 11s with the power you have, but I think definately not a 10 at full tilt let alone having to assess your half track ET lololol...

I disagree, dont forget he has a big ass stall converter which is sucking up about 30-50rwkw so he does have the power to achieve his goal but it obviously comes down to "practise makes perfect" and getting traction off the line which he wont get with his current semi slicks....

IMO if you want to get the best possible ET you would need a gd 60ft and for that to happen you would need to source a pair of MT's or Hoosier's tyres.

Last but not least have you considered raising your rear end to lessen the stress on your cv's?

I mean it would suck to see the night end before it begins?? :oops:

I couldn't agree more San...

Running a quick time isn't just power...

Stallies, tyres and suspension all play a major part... Sure 500@ the treads will get you a ten with sh*t 60 foot... But when you are only have enough power to just get in the 10s, you need a good setup...

MPH will show where your at in terms of ET... HOWEVER you can't say "my car ran 126mph so I can run a 10..." you need to run a 10 so that you can say you can run a 10!!!

Good luck!!!

Not if it's within the rules and not full of bullshit like the ones that have been removed.

LOL @ Dags...

Ok... So who is actually going?

I am... I think scrutineering starts at 4pm, so I will be aiming to get there sometime then... I'll be f*cked if I am waiting hours like last time I went with whistler6!!! Man that was a joke. I think we got there at like 5pm when it had just reopened... Decided to stay even though we were like 1 km down the highway... He finally got a run at like 9:30pm!!! Just to sign up took 2 hours and then scrutineering another 1.5 hours... LOL Was a like night... And even though it was summer... It was f*cking freezing...

Hopefully the weather holds out!!! Will be good to catch up with a few of you boys there...
