What Will I Run?

[zirks80]

I am going with 12.2 @ 116

 

[mikeysgt]

I say 12.125 @ 115 on dr's on your first day out with that setup

 

[AirGoNomyk]

nonononono, the point is to get closest without going over.

...that's "bracket bidding"

Why the low MPH's?

Alot of 115-118 up in hurr...???

Kenneth w/ alot more track time w/ his setup, less weight, and more mods is at 11.6 @ 116mph... Im curious as to what do YOU thing you will run and at what speed?

Kenneth has a stock longblock and only a 3.4 pulley + an auto, which (correct me if I'm wrong) will usually et better but lose some mph over a manual...

Previous best was 12.99 @ 108.48. This was on the stock tires with full exhaust, tune, and Spydershaft.


I have added a Supershaker with 3.2 pulley and all the necessary goodies. Will start out on 26/8.5's and a buddy is bringing some 10.5's if (when) I need them.

I am an average driver AT BEST.



The local track is known for poor times (not the best track prep, DA usually in the 1600-2200 range).


I am thinking mid-high 11's at 122-125.



Be gentle.

I would guess for MPH around 119-121.
I'm going to the 3.2 pulley soon and I hope to get around that MPH.

Also just to throw this out there I'm running M&H's that are 28" tall with 3:90 gears.
with shorter tires I would trap a little higher.

What kind of RWHP are you putting down.

 

[pacettr]

What kind of RWHP are you putting down.

Haven't had it on the dyno but judging from a couple of other PJ's JDM has done It "should" be in the 510-540 range...

 

[chad05gt]

I think your mid/high 11's at a little over 120 should be spot on

 

[ChevyKiller]

Surely you jest...?

it was a typo...


12.09 @119 - what do I win?...

 

[chad05gt]

ok, lets get a good wagering line going

12.00 +150 under/ -150 over

120mph -150 under/ +150 over

 

[ROUSH1711]

I agree.
This would be my guesstimate also pacettr.

Good luck & enjoy Just have fun and the
times will follow. I would go straight to the
bigger tires,hope you capture some video

yeah I was gonna say you're running the PJ 5.0 block. proly trapping 121 would be a lot closer, maybe higher. go try it and come tell us!!!

 

[pacettr]

12.00 +150 under/ -150 over

120mph -150 under/ +150 over

I actually have a bet with a buddy on mph. I have the over @ 120.5.



Vids shall be posted...

 

[pacettr]

12.09 @ 118.46

3820 lbs with driver

I think you have a winner!!!

 

[pacettr]

I have given some thought as to why it was a bit off (at least from my expectations).

The track always shatters expectations
I am still on the original tune, which is a little fat
The local track is notoriously slow
DA was ~ 2500 ft
No driver mod, although I kew this going in


I think if I had gotten my tune and run in better air, I would have been about where I expected (high 11's @ 121-123)

I'll try to get vids uploaded this weekend...




Chevykiller -

 

[pacettr]

Gotcha - I thought street tires from the first sentence. Good luck!

My Price Is Right bid is 12.09

I say 113 mph

117ish @ 11.8ish

This is about what a driver mod would have netted from what I can tell.

~11.7-8 @ ~121

I am going with 12.2 @ 116

I say 12.125 @ 115 on dr's on your first day out with that setup

I had a 12.16 @ 117 in there last night

I would guess for MPH around 119-121.
I'm going to the 3.2 pulley soon and I hope to get around that MPH.

Also just to throw this out there I'm running M&H's that are 28" tall with 3:90 gears.

I lost TWO bets...
