My car averages mid to high 1.7's in the 60 feet. Still working on lowering them not this is not the topic of this post.
Let's say it takes 1.46 60 ft, 5.35 330, 6.81 in the 1/8 and finally [email protected]
Just to make things simple, if I run 1.76 60 ft that is 3 tenths slower. Typically at the end of the 1/4 mile, that would be 6-9 tenths slower ET. So even if I ran the same trap speed (123.50) my ET would actually between 11.35 and 11.65.
So to run 10.75 I would have to generate more power or a combination of less weight and more power to the tune of 6 tenths to 9 tenths. Put another way between 60 whp and 90 whp.
Is this correct?
It takes around 400 whp @3200 lbs to run a trap speed of 115-116 mph with my platform. 450 whp would put me 120-121 mph and so on. But to run 10.75 with my average 60 ft time I would need 60-90 whp on top of what it would take to run 123 mph which works out to around 460-470 whp. On the low side that would be 520 whp up to 560 whp which would necessitate upgrading the engine internals, among other things.
Thanks
