Well Boys and Girls....after 9 years my car is finally going to make it to the drag strip......Its been a LONG awaited time!!!! Fig. Ill make a little fun thread of guessing some times! I know what I am hoping for, but will keep my mouth shut for now. I will be running 17" MT Et Streets mounted on 17" Cobra R Wheels...car made 400/391 at wheels on an older dynojet that I have been told reads 10-20 horse low....:D
 
I think you could hit 11's if you get it to hook up real good. But many times I've watched guys with blowers run mid-high 12's on a real good track at nearly sea level because they cant drive.

Then again, I suck at these guessing games. But if 300rwhp cars can run mid-high 12's, you should be deep into the 12's or high 11's with 100 more hp and MT's.

EDIT: I see you're in lancaster - you taking it to maple grove? Nice track. Ran my first 13 second pass there.
 
Those Sportlines aren't going to help in transferring weight... traction will be the enemy as long as you have the "driver mod".

With your HP I'd say mid 12's with an upper 11 trap speed. I only say that because you probably won't be able to launch the car to its fullest potential without blowing the tires into a haze of smoke.
 
I'm gonna say your best will probably be in the 11.9-12.2 range. I guess we will see on friday. Hopefully I'll get my wife to get a few of your runs on video also.

That would be super! I am just headed down with my Dad and he is not the best video man haha.


I agree the sportlines are doing NOTHING for me at the track haha, I mean the entire suspension is set-up to go around corners...not in a straight line...so if I meet my goal then that migh thave to change some!:nice:

Get an MM torque arm and PHB. Then you will get traction and can keep your springs.
