Ah, didnt think the stall was so "fun"
But that 62 sounds right on.

I dunno. I would say that your at more like a 19% loss. Have a rev dyno pull done to measure the amount of loss..

Good runs, that 7.8 is good for a high 11, if you get down to the 7.5's/7.6's that will be enough for a 11.50 pass. Are you running a dry or wet kit? if it is wet your bottle pressure was hurting you more than you think.

7.8 is good for a low 12 at best. 1/8 to 1/4 conversion is 1.55 or 1.57 depending on car. So at very best probably 12.1

grats on the news times though, take it to a real track now

The EVO ran 7.98 when he ran 12.2 in the 1/4 @ 114 mph...so idk.

98, why don't you bring your car out to Rockingham for the IHRA spring natls. in 2 1/2 weeks. You gotta get that thing down a 1/4 mile. An 1/8th mile track only gives you half the experience. Have you ever seen a top fuel car run in person?

I want to come to Rockingham...we're gonna go asap. I'm gonna have my step dad tow one of his trailors out there in case the rear end goes boom. I'm about to say **** it and the hell with it and get some slicks.

I've never seen a top fuel car run. Should be LOUD!

I think it will get your attention. Come by my pit and say hi to me if you go.
