Im wondering why my 1/8th mile trap speed is so slow and why 1/4 trap speed is pretty decent for what i have done?
My buddy has a 90 LX with exhaust and AOD and 2.73 gears and he traps 75.06 in the 1/8th but runs 15.1s. I trap 76 mph in the 1/8th but i run 13.7s/ Now his trap in the 1/4 is only 93 something and my best trap speed to date is 103.01, now to me thats a huge freakin difference. Im thinking its because I shift into 4th like 20 yards before the 8th mile marker and i think thats really killing the 8th mile trap speed cause i cross the finish like at like 5800 rpm.
I raced an SRT4 at the track the other day with a stage 2 upgrade and he ran a 13.4 at 104 something to my 13.70 at 102 and i had him till about the 1000' foot when he passed me. His 1/8th mile trap was 85 to my 76.08mph So is there anything i should worry about or do i say screw it and worry only about the 1/4 mile stuff
