60ft timefordfolks 08-21-2009, 06:23 AM Here's a ? what would you guys do to a car that 60ft well but it doesn't et what it should. Fairly new driver (me) new engine build. Need more tuning,more seat time, play with the shift rpm? 1.36 60ft and 6.60et 1/8 mile. Cale Aronson 08-21-2009, 09:55 AM Automatic, or stick? Much of the time it has to do with the gearing of the car, and the overall setup. If you figure out how much power you have and the overall weight of the car+driver, you will have a general idea on what kind of times the car should be capable of running, provided everthing is close. Then you go from there. How many cubes? Estimated HP? Weight of car? Stick/Auto? Tire size? That will help determine a little further what the capabilty of the car is. fordfolks 08-21-2009, 10:04 AM Automatic, or stick?

Cubes= 460 Estimated HP=450 Weight of car=2400lbs Trans=C6 Tire size=14/32 Cale Aronson 08-21-2009, 10:17 AM With that weight and power I would say you are only about a max of 2 tenths off. That power to weight ratio on a slide rule would put you at about 6.39 or 6.41 in the 1/8th. bruno 08-21-2009, 11:48 AM whats the mph ? richter69 08-22-2009, 02:29 AM For me tonight 1.34 = 5.87, powerglide, 10" tires, 3065#s I'd say the low gear of the 3 speed and big tires make it 60 good. fordfolks 08-24-2009, 06:58 PM whats the mph ? 102mph Looking back I have 2 slips that were 1.38 and 1.40 60ft 6.52 and 6.55 at 104 mph (both) | |
