Educated guess on 1/8th mile time!!!

USMC302 · 03-09-2007, 11:11 AM

I'd say 7.9's or 8.0's. Good luck. i'm also going to the 1/8 track tonight, looking for 7.6 or better.

I'm gonna guess 8.2 sec. @ 85 mph.

Thanks guys! thats about what i was thinking. Not a bad setup for an 18 year old thats done all the work by hisself and paid for it all at the same time!!

I went 7.601@92.2 last night, had to launch very low RPM to hook, crappy track. That converts to a 11.86@116. Got some more work to do but I think if I could have launched at 6000 like normal the 60ft's could have come down and times would have been better

You leave at 6000!!! must be a manual cause that would be one converter to stall 6000! And no wonder you blew the tires off why so high? And tell me your rearend/driveshaft/axles/mounts/etc isnt stock! lol

i must baby mine

Why not so high? I usually bogg down under 6k, the ET streets really grab for me. No, nothing in the rear is stock, only the T-5 is completely stock. I'm looking at getting my axle tubes welded next. I've launched at 6k many times and left hard and straight.

that seems a little ridiculous to me

...... but i also do not think that shifting a 302 thats not stroked above 5900 is realistic, thats just me. What do you shift @? 6600?
