I was just wanting to know what kind of 1/8th mile times everyone is running with what setups. Thanks.

I think I'll be high 8's. I haven't run this particular car yet but it has:

Stock Heads
Explorer Intake
1" Phenolic Spacer
CAI w/ K&N
Electric Fan
75mm (i think) TB & Spacer
3.73's
Deleted EGR/Smog Pump
Underdrive on the crank
2.5" Exhaust w/ 50 series Flowmasters
1 5/8 Shorty Equal Lengths
Subframe Ties
Some kind of cam- unsure but sounds like an Ecam

The guy I bought it from said he ran a 8.75 with Mickey ET's and I've done a lot of vacuum work and such to the car

Iwas running the 1/8 for a while because I dont have a roll bar to run a full pass in the 1/4, but the last time i was at the track it was made pretty clear that they might not let me run at all even if I sand bag the top end. Anyway my best 1/8 is 8.14 at 85.56 with a 1.82 60ft. The majority of my runs are 8.2's and 8.3's because most of my 60ft times are in the 1.9's. That was with the 6lb pulley on the charger and about 300rwhp. I havent run the car with the 9 lb. pulley yet. mods are in my sig

Do you have 1/4 times from that car? It seems everyone traps similar 1/8 mph as me, yet in the 1/4 are a good 3-4 mph better. I am positive it is the E7s that are causing this, just wanted to know what your car traps. And thanks, I love the stock cam going fast, makes it a nice sleeper!

Yeah my times arent disappointing, its my weak mph. My dads car is similar in the 1/8th and was trapping 108-109. And with about 1 mph more in the 1/8th has seen 111-112. One of the downfalls to the E7s I guess!
