Cary,
thanks i change the sig photo around every once in a while and i have used that one before.
with your mods i would guess you will run a 12.8-.9 at about 111-112 mph, i think your 60' will be your biggest hurdle, good luck! :thumbs:
I appreciate your input & sent you an IM.

- Cary

Cscollis, agreed wieght is a factor.

PhilSVT and Kh24 have some very quick and fast cars.
1.63 vs 1.43 -.2tenths (better)
10.68 et vs 10.87 +.2 tenths (slower)
134 mph vs 127 mph -7 mph (slower)
550rwhp vs 472 rwhp -78rwhp (less)

the way i see it compared to Kh24's car, PhilSVT's car should be capable of running 1.4x 60' - 10.4x et.

opinions?

thanks for posting. :thumbs:

I have not learned how to launch my car. But I can cut some low 1.6's and high 1.5s, the local track doesnt prep on friday nights. My 10.6 was one of the first passes on the car. This year I think I have 6-8 passes on the car. More is definitely in store once my new tranny gets installed. :yesnod:
Phillip

P.S. Launching tips are welcome.

Todd it is hard to make comparisons with only looking at these few numbers but I'll give you my bests.

A4 trans with 4.10
~395 rwhp
1.604 60'
11.417 1/4
119.38 MPH (122.03 on an 11.45 run)

Way too many variables. For example, in august I will 60' 1.68 but now it is 1.64 and next month it will be 1.62

My car also has another tenth or 2 left in it. Better air is coming and my 4th gear was broken when I made those runs. The tranny should be back from rodney next week.
