Finally got out to 1/8 mile track last weekend and had a blast. The car ran 7.41 @ 91.48 mph. My best 60ft time was 1.558. I thought this was a pretty good 60ft time because I had a better 60ft than anyone I raced that day, including a Chevelle than ran 7.07 but only had 1.593 60ft. Would some of you post your 60ft times so I can have something to compare to, because a buddy of mine says that a 1.558 60ft is slow.

Not a bad 60"....and certianly not slow.. Was that on slicks or DR's?? If that was on drag radials then it was a dang good 60'.. If slicks then, that isn't bad but, you should be able to squeeze into the 40's..
I cut a 1.62 on 17" (stickey) Micket T drag radials..

Just talked to the guy who called my time slow and he said that his car cut a 1.23 60ft. I'm not sure about the 60ft time but I have seen his car go 5.48 in the 1/8th. I guess mine is slow compared to his, but I'm still proud. I haven't stoppped smiling since I left the track. Thanks for posting guys. Anyone else with 60ft times please post.

1.23 60ft sounds right for an 5.48 1/8 mile time. My dads car has 1.28 60ft with 5.84@120 1/8 mile

What is your car set up for?? His must be a strip car... With a 1.23 sixty and mid 5's in the 8th, he must have a nice set-up. That's getting down the track with a purpose..
If you do have 55's, you might benefit with some steeper gears. I run 55's..My 1.62 was with 55's, AOD, and flashing the converter.

That's a real good 60 ft time. My best is 1.86, and it's running 7.70's in the eighth on a 100 shot.
A car that runs 1.2 sixty foots should be a well set up full tilt car. That takes lots of power, suspension and traction. A 5.48 eighth is hauling.
From what you are saying, I guess I need to try the 125 and 150 jets!

My car is setup for track only. I am slowly getting the car ready for a motor that will put me in the low 6's and nitrous to the 5's. I plan on just spraying the piss out of this motor for the rest of the year or until it breaks. Yes his car is a strip only car. He has a 408 and nitrous. Not sure how much he is spraying though.
