Default ET Estimate

I ran my car for the first time at the local track today. Being opening day it was really crowded, and I only got one crappy run in.

My ET was 13.31, 60 ft was 2.29 but my MPH was 114.28. What kind of ET potential does this MPH have?

I agree with Bruce...hook the car up and you will be smiling all the way down the track.

Yesterday at E-town with my 26" tires i ran a best of 112 mph. Ran 11.9 with 1.5 60'
Your making enough power to run that fast with the right combination.
