new times

went out to the 1/8 last wed. traction was awesome, no lines, great competition, but the weather SUCKED haha. by the time i swapped on my track tires and lost the gate my pants and shirt were literally drenched with sweat:cry:then they make me put that damn helmet on:bs:anyways it went 8.25@83.1x in the eighth. the DA was 1790. 60' still isnt where i want it but it was getting better with every run. 1.82 is all i could muster before they shut down the lanes. the higher i would stall it the better it would launch. 2000 rpm is where i left off. i wanted to go 23-24oo and see what happened. oh well.

Great times there! :rock:

so what did you run against?

awesome times stewart! got any vids?

no vids. i beat up on a modded srt4, a mustang or 2 that were all dragged out and a cammed GTO on drag radials. i didnt lose any:D

sounds like some great races.
so approx what does that 1/8mi time calculate to in the 1/4mi?

Look here. By this method, Stew is set to do a 13.07 1/4 mile time, but I know his truck is faster than that. In a few months when it cools down and the air gets a little more dry, I can bet he will be pushing high 12.8's...

dammit i want to get to the track, i have no idea what i could run, and i havent run down the 1/4 mile in almost 3 years, and that was a front wheel drive 5-speed. i want to take all three vehicles to see what they could run.

i know its just a shot in the dark but does anyone have any idea what my silvy could run. after racing that cayenne turbo i was guessing high 13's but it seems like people without FI are running low 13's so i'd be happy with low 13's but my truck is heavy, but it sure dont feel heavy with the procharger crammin air in her

that calculator is off. going from each calculation:

60' says i go...........13.09
330 says i go..........13.25
1/8 says i go...........13.07
1/8 mph says i go.....12.96

from looking at the fastest truck list over on PT.net i figure its an extreemly high 12. look at wkdivr and goatchs (rank # 111 and 112) their 60' times are right around mine 1/8 times right around mine, mph right around mine so i figure my 1/4 times aughta be right around mine...hopefully hahahaha.

sweet times...wait till it cools off a bit and dries up and see wut yah run...bet you'll be pleased

you should run about a 12.87.
If you take your 1/8 mile time and mutiply by 1.56, this will be extremely close to your 1/4 times.

yeah i did that on some old 1/4 slips and they were never accurate...not in my case anyways.

Stewy--nice sig by the way. Just noticed... Yeah, from looking at you previous 1/4 times and what you have done since then, you should be in the high 12's. Just wait for good track conditions and some cooler weather. You'll see 12's guaranteed!
