I'm not asking what I'm going to do, I'm just wanting to see what people's guesses are and see who's good at it.

Car: 1991 hatchback, lowered suspension, 245/45R17 BF comp T/A tires, 3:55 gearing, 4 banger T5 with short-throw, underdrive pulleys, electric fan, cold air intake (fender), 76 or 75mm Pro-m MAF, king cobra clutch. Removed AC, no insulation in the rear, also missing spare, rear plastic panels, radio+speakers and arm-rest. Engine is in GREAT shape, stays a little below 180, oil pressure at idle is at 45psi up to 60@2000rpm with 5W30 oil. Transmission is still okay, I don't powershift but I do shift pretty quickly, car has lots of traction issues. On the street I can spin for a good 40 feet or more just by shifting into second. Oh and think timing is at 14@idle.

I will let the clutch slip a little on take-off in first, I won't hit 2nd too hard as to not let it spin like on the street, I will only hammer it once I KNOW I can get traction and shift quickly into 3rd. I don't know if I will be in 4th at the line or not, I'm hoping I can keep it in 3rd. (60mph, I'm at around 2500rpm - so I could leave it in 3rd I think). I will rotate the tires since the front ones are in better shape and maybe drop the pressure to 20psi or something. I want to keep the gas tank at a little less than 1/4.

I have no clue at all... I'm think maybe 14.5 or around there? It's hard to tell on the street, but I'm sure it's not a 100mph car.

Yeah, I was gonna guess 4.25 or something. Sounds about right to me. You may break 100 though. I run a 15.12 @ 92 mph, so you never know.

Dude with 3.55's you will most deinfitely be in 4th at the line...in fact you will probably be close to 4800 rpms in 4th. And i think with those mods you should see 14.3 at 96ish. It's all in the 60' time. good luck and have some fun

How many times have drove a street tired 5 speed car at the dragstrip? If this is your first time I'd say around a 14.7 but if you've run a car like that before I'm gonna guess 14.4 maybe a 14.3 but traction limited.

Not my first time, I had trouble with my coupe previously, all I got was a 14.1@99.5 on old winter tires. My 60ft sucks badly... I need to practice, practice, pratice (maybe change T5), then practice some more I only have maybe 10 passes under my belt... I need a few more hehe
