I was at the Fun Ford Event this weekend in Commerce GA first time at the drag strip and first time showing my car in the car show.
My expectations were to run a high 11 but after doing it a couple of times and watching other people with my similar combo it's hard to pull off an 11 sec Thats what I was hoping for but on street tires and my lack of inexperience I'm very doubtful. Regardless I'm very pleased with my results. I aslo wanted to thank the guys at Power House with all the tips and tricks.
Now they have some fast asrse cars. 10's GT Turbo on stock motor and 11's V6 Turbo on stock motor.
So based on my numbers how bad did I do and how fast should I have run under optimal conditions?
Oh my car is a total PIG 3970 with driver or that's really me that's the pig @240.
Anyone have a good calculator.
R/T... .652
60'... 2.047
330... 5.423
1/8... 8.142
MPH... 92.75
1000 ... 10.455
1/4 ... 12.399
Next steps?? I was thinking some nice DR's bump up the boost to 13# and 373 gears??? Stock clutch seems to be holding up incredibly well. I will tell you I did not do any burnouts. I just spun the tires a little to clear any debris.
those numbers sound right...any rear suspension mods.. .that would help your traction... I don't see a roll cage? surprised that they let you continue to run with out one in a vert....
BTW dude.. I think you mean to say "my lack of experience" or "due to my inexperience" double negative means you have expericence..
Nice job! If you just want to get into the 11s I would think all you need is a pair of drag tires.
I agree... get some good tires and get that 60-foot time down. It's holding you back.

DRs and a set of gears will put you in the mid to high 11s. these #s are very impressive for a 4,000lb plus car. shed about 500lbs and you could run some low 11s.

Hey buddy, you wanna race for pinks? *Joking* Very nice run! especially for your 1st time. Just wait until you get a bunch of them in, your gonna have some sweet times....a little bit quicker than stock
Thanks for posting, hopefully one day I can join you with times like that. Best of luck
