Will I Make 200kwatw?

[N I B]

All this Dyno knocking is crap! We use dynos to develop the best power band possible so if you dont have your own Drag strip in the back yard to test every change you make then use a Dyno.

Many of the fastest cars dont have wild power figures but very good (sorry to reuse this term but its the easyest) "average" power all across the rev range,600rwkw to run 12s is not smart.

Thats some hope for me! ahha 104mph can run high high 12's! 'YES'!

BUT for me to get a 60ft of 1.777 from my current 2.3-2.4 is a big ask!

ECR33 what tyres was that on? size/brand? drag radials/semis or street tyres?

i'm guessing a nice long burnout as well?.

what revs did you drop the clutch or did you ride it?

Ummm, no

104mph is good enough to run a 12 using std turbo. I've done it on my old set up which had 190rwkw (give or take a few either way depending on the dyno used).

SEE HERE

and you have a 1.7 second 60ft

as you said it's possible but, I was giving the guy something more realistic to aim for with a modest improvement in his launch.

Fair call

I just wanted to point out that it isn't impossible and further to that, I might add that that time was done using standard suspension as well

GTshortie,

I was using 255/50/16 BFGoodrich Comp T/A radials at the time (not slicks ). Those tyres needed a nice, long burnout to heat up on the first run, but really only needed a modest burnout for each subsequent run after that. I was dropping the clutch at around 5,000rpm and it used to hook up really well off the line. With a bit of practice, I was consistantly doing 1.8-1.9 60' times on these tyres.

Unfortunately, those tyres were around $400 a corner. I now use Mickey Thompson ET Drag radials (around $250/corner) which are just as good in my opinion.
