You're supercharged?

Make sure you bring a few spare CV axles. Brian (AREA91) can tell you all about what happens when you launch on sticky tires with a lot of power...

IF you launch without snapping an axle, and IF you don't smoke the tires (do you have spring blocks for the rear?) I think 13s certainly aren't a problem, and if you get a good 60', 12s aren't out of the question.

I don't have a lot of power. Plus, girl driver.

And I come prepared. Or I guess, leave the house prepared.

What is your susp setup/tires/WHP, and how many passes have you made?

Let me know that info and elev of track, and I will guess within 2/10ths.

It's not that bad. Stop blowing it out of porpition. I know threw expirence that u can drag race with out breaking axle every run. Even 2.5 hours from home or 4hrs. 12's are out of the question. 6 psi is just not enough. (votech)

Wats was the time I say 13.7 at 104. Hope the problem is minor.

I'll go back before the end of the season. I sure miss revving it way up.

You can not start a prediction thread and then not tell us if any were right.

Since it seems you do not know or do not want us to know your HP level, and since I still do not know your susp/tire setup, my guess will be more of a shot in the dark. But, seeing as someone said you are low boost, I am going to guess 14.4 @ 103, with a 2.56 60'

I can do whatever I want! Ha! :evilgrin:

I'm running Konis/Intrax. Still have my NT01s from Autobahn on the car, but they are a few years old and many heat cycles on them. I haven't had the car on the dyno since the supercharger was added. It had 225 at the wheels last year.

No real times to report. Didn't make a clean, full out pass.
