60ft times

jrtcarter · May 12, 2005

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..

jrtcarter · May 12, 2005

That was on 26x10 slicks at 12psi. It certainly didn't feel slow.

90NotchBack · May 12, 2005

That's good. Mine are 1.60 and 7.28@93 1/8 and 11.52@116 1/4.

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.

i think he meant he cut a 1.23 reaction time

1.5's are awesome

my best 60' on et streets was in the hi 1.6's squirting out of the hole, on 4.10's.....12.50 pass at 109

jrtcarter · May 12, 2005

He claims that 1.23 was his 60ft. He may be full of BS. He hasn't shown me a time slip. I'm beginning to wonder if my car has 3:55's with that kind of 60ft time. The guy I bought it from said that he put in 3:55's. I am squirting 150 out of the hole.

I think I will do that this weekend.

90NotchBack · May 13, 2005

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!

90NotchBack · May 13, 2005

My mustang gets 1.70 60ft 8.11 in the 1/8 on D/R and bone stock 4 cyl suspension

Curse · May 13, 2005

Damn these are good 60ft times, share the secrets guys.

GREG91GT · May 13, 2005

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.

GREG91GT · May 13, 2005

my buddy jason is 1.23 and he runs 5.30s in the 8th,with a 359ci 302 based small block

FullAuto · May 13, 2005

I've pulled a 1.63 but I generally pulled mid-high 1.6s on my old combo. I raced 1/4 so I don't remember my 1/8 times, but they were at 93mph. My friends car cut a 1.53 last time out and trapped 101mph in the 1/8. So I say you're doing a good job with a less powered car.

Haha, My best is a 2.04 on crappy Kumho street tires, woohoo!
