Just curious...
If you have a 500/600/700hp car...w/e
if you ran the 1/4 in AWD ....got your time slip....then...
went to shop and swap'd to RWD...
what would you run? taking into consideration wheel spin etc etc..
Thanks!

 

I will give it a guess...

2WD and some nice 18" or 17" Drag radials like some of the EVOMS guys run
and Violla: you cut 2/10's

I also think a GT2 (with identical mods)

is worth an EASY 2/10's, Easy!

imagine if i dropped some weight!! lol... nah.... ill just beef up the car!!!!!!

 

I agree, if you do it right and put in a posi etc etc, the car will be easier to launch,better 60',much better et. There are quite a few formulas that tell what your et should be for a given mph if you hook perfectly, we used these a lot when we ran super stock, as it gives you a baseline of et vs mph.

ie, in ss/k 131.4 mph@ 9.96
ss/m 122.1 mph @ 10.69
ss/b 148.8 mph @ 8.99 (current class records)


So you can see there is a HUGE ammount left in the chassis/hook when running a Porsche

 

Im lost...lol... ok lets say i use my 11.07 so far with a 1.9 60 ft and 131 mph... convert to rwd ??

 

What it means is this, if a car traps at 131, and the chassis is hooking perfectly (and this would be next to impossible in any "street type" car) the best time it could achieve would be a 9:91. So if I take my tube chassis car to the track and we run 131 @ 10:75, I look at my data readouts and start messing with 4-link,converter stall,weight balance, etc till I get close to my 9:90 pass.
Now, please remember i'm droping the clutch at 7500 rpm and the car hooks solid. I think it would be easier to launch the porsche with RWD,drag radials, and a posi (and some really good axels LOL) think how fast a time you would run with a 60' of 1.25 or so. How hard can the car launch?

 

1.6-1.7 possib le on street tires...thats it!

 

If your RWD cutting that kind of 60ft on a non DR is going to be hard. With AWD it will be a lot easier due to traction. I almost got my 1.6 last night, just .04 off

 

What are you doing to pull a 1.7 60' time? How do you do it? The best I can pull is a 1.9x
