pontiacfreak142 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 thats actually really good. most cars ive seen that trap that low are only mid 13 cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 He had excellent traction and cut a very good 60' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 What kind of 60' was that? for example I was running 13.4 or so at 103, and now trap 113 at 12.3. Every car is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99ta Posted June 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 mid 1.7 60s. he says with a different gear 373 to 410s. and a smaller tire, he is hoping for low 12s. I just don't see how thats possible with such low traps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medium fast Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 The car just moves out of the hole, and then doesn't do much up top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coryscobra Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Thats what I said that car has NOTHING on the big end!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2highpsi Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Sounds like its setup more for the 1/8 mile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 My car gains between 27-29mph on the back half. It still hauls ass, but if I were to cut into the 1.4x range, I'd be looking at 10.10s to 10.20s versus my 10.70s-10.80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
