I put my mustang on the dyno last weekend and made 360 rwhp. How much power with hooking up( around 1.8 to 1.9 60ft) at the line do you need to run 11's in the 1/4.
I've seen sub 300 to the tires do it. Friends car made 298 I believe and went 11.9 @ 110-111. My dads made 292 and ran 7.48 @ 90 in the 1/8th which would be about 11.7-11.8...
CAN be done with 300 rwhp. Shouldnt be hard with 360!
I assume when we talk about drag racing, this is understood, especially if the OP says "with hooking up".
Hell with a basically stock suspension and 3.55 gears that same motor minus a few small things in a street car went 12.17 @ 110 with 285 rwhp. With a 4.10 gear and maybe a couple of tweaks it could go 11.99... Or WILL go 11.99!
Hey I went 12.95 @ 106 and trapped mid 107s all day last race on 18" street radials, with nothing but lowering springs and LCAs (NOT drag racing stuff) with a mere 258 rwhp.
Can't always use the "no suspension/chassis" as a crutch to not run good times!
Yep, that's plenty of power to run 11s. Just gonna have to work your 60ft down to where it will do so. What kind of car? and what's your suspension/tire setup going to be.
with 360 rwhp and a good launch you should be hitting easy 1.6 60' times.
my car trapping 113-115 (probably making 350ish rwhp) can nab 1.6s with ease.
if you dont have suspension mods get them, i put my drag shocks/struts, springs, control arms SFC etc when my car was weaker running 13s. it helped out a bit. but once i put the blower on and started making more power you could really tell that the stuff help. the car will dead hook dumping the clutch and flooring it at 5k+ rpm off the line. its a good feeling lol
my biggest problem is I'll be running 17 inch drag radials. I have the rear disc mod and wont allow anything smaller than an 17. Which concerns me because I'm not going to have a whole lot of sidewall on the tire. I think a 1.6 60 ft is going to be hard for me to get with my setup, I'm thinking around a 1.8 or so.
