I think the car will go 10.9x with 3:42s but your 3:15s are going to be your downfall trying to cut a good 60'.

My guess is 11.36 @ 128

These guys were the closest....I wussed out on hammering the car out of the hole.

Best pass was 11.635@118.90 on a smashing 1.759 60'.

Guess I need to put my big boy pants on and go ***** out next round.

With 515 RWHP, 118 is off. Nearly everyone here said at or near 130.
You have it on the floor after the launch?

You sure that wasn't 128.9?

Good start.
I'd get some logs on the car. It wasn't making 515rwhp on that pass unless you lifted on the throttle.

That is some 410-435 rwhp mph

Maybe you have 515 crank hp ? Just guessing because that would match the mph pretty close.

Did you get any logs of your runs with HPT?

I highly doubt I'm near that power level, but my car runs about exactly the same. I am still hoping for better once we get the timing and fueling sorted out.

That's not too bad.....at least your MPH is up. I'm only trapping 118....granted it was muggy as hell and the car didn't have a proper cool down.

Hopefully I'll get out to the track soon and try this again. I really need to purchase some logging software to keep track of what is going on.

Keep ya posted.
