Default 1/4 mile times!!!

Just raced my cat at zmax drag strip in concord nc. I went 13.23 @ 107 in the quarter. Just wanted to tell you guys and what you think. I didn't really pop my clutch at the start cause of the fear of breaking my crappy t-45 trans haha. So the time could be a bit better.

Thats a pretty good time. I ran 2 weeks ago and the best I could get was a 14.02 at 101. My 60ft times were terrible. I couldn't get any traction. What mods are you running?

What was your 60' time and your 1/8 ET and Trap?

107mph in the 1/4 should be able to get you a quicker ET, but that may take some more practice and traction coming out of the hole. I refuse to abuse my clutch for "optimum" launches, so I know a little about under-performing vs what some other guys have done.

On just motor, I was making 12.7 & 12.8 passes a couple of weeks ago at 107.5mph.

I couldn't really get traction in 1st gear. But would gain my speed fast when I got traction. This was on 275 sumitomo HTRZ 3

Sweet brah!! I ran a 13.25 @105 with a 1.8 60' last year. My car dyno'd at 275/270. I'd say you'd hit high 12's if you can get traction.

OK. Some wheel spin will/can increase your trap speed. It is possible that you will trap a little lower once you get enough traction to hook up on your launch.

If knocking time off your ET is a high goal, you need to invest in a set of DRs. You would probably see a drop of ~0.4-0.5 seconds in ET if you had DRs.

What was your 60' time on that pass?
What were your 1/8 ET and 1/8 Trap?

This info will tell us a lot about your performance.

Nice numbers... I ran 3 times last year having horrible traction issues on 275/40's. My best time was the following:

60' - 2.202
1/8 - 8.951
1/8mph - 88.40
1/4 - 13.528
1/4mph - 109.07

That's with the mods in the sig below. This year I have LCA's so hopefully that will help some.
