Just FYI, i've found that even from a roll i can take down most blower cars that have 40-50 more hp then me. Don't sell yourself short man. If you're making around 350 rwhp, then you're probably around 400-450 rwtq.

Its not so much that he is selling himself short its more to the fact that he trapped 111mph in the 1/4 while trapping 90mph in the 1/8th. My car traps 91mph in the 1/8th and 117mph in the 1/4 so we both know I have more top end than he does. Of course the similar 1/8th trap speeds could also be due to the fact that I am shifting from 3rd to 4th right as I'm crossing the 1/8th and he is already into 3rd (he is auto).

Yeah but remember he had a 20 mph headwind as well. I'm sure he wouldn't get 117, but another 3-5 mph under the right conditions is not out of the question. It's very possible that the headwind wasn't making a huge difference in the 1/8, but very well could've in the 1/4 due to higher speeds, aerodynamics, etc...

actually, the reason the car feels so slow is because of my damn '95. that car on spray was a freaking animal from a roll. kicked out at 55 if i had my street tires on. Now i'm in a completely different car with less power, doesn't weight transfer like the '95, and doesnt "feel" nearly as fast. looks better tho! lol.

If only 'looks' could kill eh greddy?

sounds like a pretty fun setup. whats your plans once you get forged rods/pistons...up the shot? are you still running a stock auto?

ctgreddy

not sure yet. up the shot just to a 150. and then some sort of f/i. Probly just going to buy my buddies strim when he upgrades, convert it to a Ttrim and aim for 5-550.

stock auto with a dd converter right now. before i supercharge the car I'll pull the trans and drop some new parts in it tho.

97stanger

good call, that wont last you long under those conditions. I baby my car like you couldnt believe and my stock AODE gave up on me at 370/380

ctgreddy

Yeah my aode in my 95 only lasted a few months after I put my 347 in. I'll have to research what to put in it to handle the power tho.

just have your current auto beefed up, I got all my internals done and my tranny can support 800rwhp and if I remember correctly I paid right around $1000
