How many MPH do you pick up from the 1/8 to 1/4 mile?

[NEARING]

Just curious.

 

[BobbyBuick]

25 is a good benchmark for me

 

[turbojimmy]

I pickup 21-23 MPH locking the converter at 90 MPH.

[Kansas T]

Around 24 mph for me

 

[salvageV6]

My best run 23.66 mph.

Heavy street car.

Locked up converter at 81 mph.

 

[XLR8]

From 20 to 25. The last 2 times to the track it was closer to 20 since I was driving into a 30mph - 40mph headwind and my car has the aerodynamics of an upright brick.

 

[azgn]

25-26 would be normal for me

 

[Nashty]

27-31 but I'm kinda a cheater...

 

[Iceman]

mine is 23 to 24

 

[TURBO 6]

26 mph for me.
My friend has a low 8 sec. car that picks up 40 mph out the back door!!

 

[Chuck Leeper]

Not too shabby??

Goes from 111 in the 1/8th, to 141 at the stripe.. Not bad for a 3700# turd!!

 

[onebadv6]

does any one not turn off the lock up converter while racing I have a sw on mine and I only turn it on when on the interstate

 

[TurboShane]

I gained 22 mph.

 

[Kansas T]

I tried to edit my post, but appearantly I'm not allowed to do that anymore. I dont lock my convertor.

 

[1BADDAM]

24-28

This discussion came up on another board i'm a member of... it seems most everyone with n/a or f/i cars gains from ~22-25mph no matter if they run a stock civic or turbo buick (myself).

I go from 94-117mph, so 23mph gain.

 

[Raymond Bunch]

23 mph gain for me, but haven't learned as of yet how to lock up the convertor, stupid me I will be doing it soon though

 

[J Banning]

23-24mph with a non lock 9" converter.

I've been told I should see more... but I don't

 

[EightSecV6]

40mph
