1/8th Mile trap speeds

[murphinator]

the original post was looking for others in the mid 8's in the 1/8 to share their traps for comparison purposes

it looks like we are getting into mid 8's in the 1/4 now:biggrin:

For those of you in the Mid 8's 8.4 - 8.6 in the 1/8th what are your trap speeds. After 22 years I put DR's on my car and took it to the track. It's a Stock unopened 100K motor, stock turbo and injectors, ATR downpipe and Pit Bull exhaust system.

1.8 60 FT's on drag radials. Seems I can't hold more than 5 PSI boost on the line without it pushing through the lights.

My best runs have been a 8.64 but the MPH is low compared to our Local LS1 and Mooswang crowd. I'm running 77-78 while LS1 car's running the same times are in the from 82-86.

When my 99 vert camaro went a 8.56 1/8 it had a 83.54 mph with a 2.044 60ft

while my GN ran a 8.417 1/8 @ 79.23 mph with a 1.78 60ft


hope this helps

8.2@86mph

 

[Ev87Ttype]

My buddy's GN used to run 8 Flat @88mph on street tires air down to about 20-22 psi. Running stock motor with alky and 25lbs boost, te52 turbo. His tires would have smoke rolling from them for the entire 60 ft.

My last outting:

8.35@91.18 w/ 2.0 60ft
8.49@91.22 w/ 2.19 60ft

Stock gear as far as I know with 275/50/15 Nitto DRs. Why does my MPH appear abnormally high for the ET?

Is the high speed (for the ET) because of the crappy 60 ft?

 

[Alky V6]

60ft 1.27
1/8 5.57
MPH 127
Destroked 224 cid BUICK V6. 9.25:1 CR
Small, production style M&A heads (1.835" intake valve)
Single T6, 91mm turbo. 30 psi boost.
100mm throttle body.
10.5 slick.

An '84 Grand National still using a BUICK V6.

I just took a look at some of my older timeslips...

1.89 60ft
8.44 sec. 1/8
82.10 mph 1/8

1.84 60ft
8.4 sec 1/8
80.96 mph 1/8

Hope it helps..

No.. It's because of the power he's making.. With a decent 60 ft it should be high 7s maybe 7.8

 

[Fast Farmer]

Who cares what the mph is as long as you get to the finish line first!

 

[13xturbo]

I have an 87 Grand National with a hand built turbo back 3" stainless steel exhaust and a k/n air filter with a turbo tweak chip and I am running 8.22 at 83 mph in the 1/8 mile and 13.1 in the 1/4 at 99mph

 

[SloGN]

way back in the day.........

I would run 21-22 psi with a dutt neck and a te-34 turbo and BGC down pipe with shitty flowmaster stock location exhaust..

1.81 60ft 8.14 1/8 @ 84.5

1.85 60ft 8.22 1/8 @ 83.8

I use to run only street tires back then. my personal best 60.ft or street radials was 1.78 on firestone firehawks..

Those were the days.........of not breaking shit!

Patrick, what are you using for fuel now? I havent tuned mine yet since the rebuild but am looking at C16 for now and maybe going e85. Curious to see what mine will do on race fuel and tuned with a good 60'.

It won't matter what you use Bryan. I'll be looking for the mushroom cloud. JK bud.

Funny guy...I will creep up on the tune, thats for sure. I think it will run a very low 6 in the 1/8 at around 112-115mph

I'm curently using a mix of 93/110 as i have not really leaned on the boost yet! i have not went over 21 psi. I'm still fighting the rear suspension i i added a week before the TB.com nats. this past weekend i ran a best of 6.81 @ 103.8 with a shitty 1.65 60 ft. the boost was 21 psi.

Like charlie mention i'll be looking for the mushroom cloud too............ cause i don't think they make a unobtanium octane yet............

Unobtanium is on order already....if the dreaded mushroom cloud happens again I will be down for who knows how long. The wife will be firing rounds at me. Getting the XFI upgraded and connecting a boost solenoid and will likely just run 18-19lbs till I get it dialed in. I havent even driven it since I got back from the Nats.
