Ok say this power: 300 rwhp and 430-450 rwtq....(my car) cutting about a 2.0-2.1 60'...5 spd...what SHOULD it run with a decent driver? After getting dynoed I am trying to figure out what my car should run if I can get the 60's down a little and maintin good bottle pressure, hence the #'s. Thanx alot

i'll guess 12.5@110 since you need traction. if you can get the 60's down to 1.8, maybe 12.0 to 12.1. just guessing. i guess there's a chance you could dip into the 11's.

Your car is sweet......It would be cool if you could go 11's with just a 100 shot, have you tried the 125 shot?

There are a TON of factors. I know guys with 350rwhp 360 rwtq, who have only gone 13.3 @ 106. There so many factors that decide how fast you go. You have the power to run in the 11s, but without traction, suspension and some great driving, its hard to say if you will. I dont want to come on here and say 12.2 because you have the power to do it, because if you dont run in the 12s, your going to be disappointed. I would say try for some low 13s high 12s...

It's possible just might have to work for it!

Thats a good goal to set. Something attainable, but definately something to be proud of. I have seen and actually have been disappointed way to many times. Its better to expect the worst, hope for the best and try as hard as possible to do it!

It feels better going 12.7 expecting 12.9s, then to go 12.7 expecting 12.5s!
