Title: Wow! Timeslip Comparisons
Post by: Billyisgr8 on September 25, 2006, 09:09:47 PM
Since I can only compare what my 1/4 mile time and mph would have been to other cars with similar mph and times in the 1/8, I am excited about the mph my car could have got if it didn't break close to the 1000' light and coast to the finish.  

I have found very similar timeslips that would have my car running close to this.

1/4 time...      1/4  mph ...      1/8       ......   mph    ........        60'
12.922  ...     110.100  ...     8.437  ...     87.110    ...   2.084   Camaro

12.950....      111.130  ....    8.460     ...  87.400    ...   2.110  mustang

13.104   ...      97.30   ... ....     8.412   ...     87.96     ...   2.057    my car  

I find this very promising for getting closer to my 11 second timeslip next year since I plan on running 10 pounds more boost and I have to put on the slicks, I may even make the engine larger, and leave it a singleport of course.

It will be a long winter before racing starts again next year.  I can hardly wait.

I found another timeslip which I added from a mustang that was close to mine.  Jeez 110+ mph,  to bad I didn't finish this run under power.  I can only think about what could have been, ohwell I'll have to wait  till next year.
