127 mph is PLENTY to run deep off into the 8s... That would be 157 ish in the 1/4.. Just need the track prep, good DA and a drivetrain that holds together more then 4-5 passes... Getting all three of these factors together is the hard part..
Practice definitely helps the car go quicker, even with an auto...You need to be able to experiment with launch techniques, shift points and logging/tuning... This takes time and experience.... Hard to do if the track is slick, or the drivetrain breaks often.
I've made 20 passes on 3 rear ends...2 trannies and 3 different tire combos... Not very successful.. Hard to dial in a car this way.

Come on Robert let the beast eat.i know it can run 8.90 if they don't give you the boot for going to fast in a street car or you break something 
That's what my problem is when trying to go better than 9.3 hahaha. .

Jay just busting my ***** again. Jay in the 1/8 mile with the 15,s on the rear car did 5.92 at 127 with 1.37 60 ft. I really don't know what that will come out in the 1/4 but it just was starting to pull like crazy in the car.http://tredalign.com/quartermileconversion.htm

According the the 1/8 to 1/4 mile conversion chart I have, it equates to the 9.20s range.
