Track times

dennis kelley · 03-26-2006, 08:23 PM

Went to the track ran a 12.91 at 106mph. 2.0 60ft time. This is a 302 in a cobra kit car. I had to lift in second gear or it just spins. The rear gear is 3.10 and a tremec 5 speed. I'd like to get this car in the mid 12's but its a bear to launch on street tires. What can I expect out of drag radials or any tire upgrade. Motor is 302, AFR 165 heads, air gap intake, and 650 dp. Thanks for any help.

later

You could easily shave a half second off your ET with slicks. With 3.10s, definitely go with 26" tall tires, though. 1.6-1.7 60' times would be feasible with good driving...

I never heard of 3.10 gears. do you mean 4.10 or 3.08's?? what kind of rear end you have in that cobra??

No 3.10 is the ratio because it is a bmw rear end irs.
