I honestly think a 7.9 @ 91 can and will yield 11's on a good pass, enjoy!

What about 1.88sec 60',7.80sec@93.6MPH equates to in 1/4 mile?

No, it wouldn't be even close. You'd have to drop that down to a mid 7.6 unless you are trapping close to 120. 7.9 won't cut it. I did 7.6@91 on my 12.000 pass. Your mph is close, but the driving has a long way to go...

That's freakin hauling ***, but a crappy launch. Due to outright horsepower, you'd probably run an 11.9 or 12.0 at 117-118mph.

thanks.
I figure that much, too. I could have launched betterbut I spun all 4 pretty badly almost everytime. Although, Im glad I didn't replace those all-season tires cuz it was wet the last few days.
As far as tire pressure, what is the lowest I can run at the strip without fear of a blow-out?

I am not sure you are correct in this statement. If you ran a 12.0 with 292whp or so (dependant on race gas), and the person above runs a 7.8-9 @high 80's or 90 with the extra 50 or so whp he will have a better fourth gear and ultimately trap faster and quicker. I am interested to see what your thoughts on this are.

I think that it is on for this Friday at Montgomery Motorsports Park... I hope to break into the low 12's possibly the high 11's. We will know what we can do for sure in a few days.

People going to the Strip:

1) Me - '04 White EVO - Best 1/8 mile 7.82
2) Joe - '03 Yellow EVO - Best 1/8 mile 8.5 (Can't go)
3) Jerimiah - '05 White EVO - Best 1/8 mile 7.95
4) Comer - '06 WRX TR - Best 1/8 mile 9.1
5) Chris - '04 RX-8 -Best 1/8 mile Unknown?
6) Andy - Honda Accord 484 Fwhp
7) Slippen92 - Honda 500+ Fwhp
8)
9)
10)

I had an estimated 330-340whp on my 12.000 runs on race gas when I did 7.6x and 91mph in the 1/8th. He can't overcome 2-3 tenths with just a few extra mph, and there's no guarantee he has more topend, but he might trap 1-2mph higher - that's just not enough.

Yeah thats a good point, you do get to run MAX timing on Race gas as well as leaning out your fuel, you were on the AFC at that point still right? Probably very close to HP with a slight nod to Nates car (this is a guess) so we will see what happens this Friday and let you know.

375, It is for 350hp to 450hp applications.

I do not turn the boost up as high as Turbo Trix said that I could which was 27psi. I daily drive it at 22.9psi and usually at the drag strip turn it up about 1-2psi to approximately 24-25psi.
