60 ft times

[gbsean]

I do not own slicks or drag radials and i can get 1.9 and 2.0 60ft times. for every tenth you pick up in the 60' what could you expect at the end of the 1/4. Always wanted it to be a "street" car but now want to go Racing. Also what do people set their air bags at.

For every tenth you drop in the 60', your car will drop 2 tenths in the quarter-

Well, i dont think that is entirely correct- You can be guaranteed 1.5 tenths for every tenth in the 60 if you dont spin.

So last week my car (silver limited in sig) was bogging and i was getting 2.02 on radials and running 12.99. I fixed my exhaust leak and got my 60's down to 1.82 and went best of 12.68 ..... So i dropped my 60' by 2 tenths and only dropped 3 tenths which works with the 1.5 theory.
So hopefully if i bolt on some slicks and get a 1.62 it will run 12.3 and then factor a boosted launch will get it another tenth and should run 12.2
Now i should bump up the boost 3-5psi and gain 50 horses and might run 11.99 on pump gas and meth on a stock turbo, ic and injectors.....

Still too slow

a reduction in e.t. of .15 sec for every reduction of .1 in the 60' is a good rule of thumb - at least for a lot of cars in our power catagory.

For the air bags I usually start with 5# on the driver side and 20# in passenger.

now if i switched to race gas and use the 108 chip that Red burned with this set up and bumped the boost to 20 psi what should i get then. the 12.7 run was on pump gas and only 15lbs of boost w/ 820's on the 02's
60' - 1.910
330 - 5.278
1/8 - 8.134
mph - 85.71
1000- 10.617
1/4 - 12.72
mph 107.15

this was in columbus at the nationals 6 yrs ago remember how hot it was with a 0 boost launch. car weighs 3800 lbs without my fat butt 245lbs
could it be possible to get into the 11's have learned alot in 5yrs in how to tune etc.

Doing the math, it won't be perfect but you can get close.

For every tenth in the 60ft, you get approx 1.5 seconds in the 1/4

1/8 mile MPH x 1.25 = 1/4 MPH

1/8 mile ET x 1.565 = 1/4 ET

your combo is very commonly run into the mid-high 11's at high boost with good (low 1.6, high 1.5) 60' times.....this usually requires a trans brake, slicks, and race gas
