Anyone have any idea what a 250 hp n/a with a turbo rear end would run in a 1/4?

well i pulled a 14.3 with my beretta (V6 5Speed) with a 60 shot N²O and my beretta has 156 hp and 204 TQ with out N²O so figure 210HP with 260+ TQ with around 2700 lbs.

what does the turbo rear end have to do with the 1/4 time? it will just make the ET higher since that rear end is heavy.

more weight in the back could be better if it give better traction. although there is a point where added weight starts becomming detrimental.



also, wouldn't the tii rear end/diff provide more traction to both wheel, allowing more acceleration?

there are NA LSD rear ends too... and if you don't have the power to justify it the t2 rear end is pretty pointless. You'd do better with a drag suspension that weight transfers well than having unnecessary weight in the car.

I think you'd be better off with the clutch type GXL LSD or for drag, the GTUs rear would be the best if you could find one. Its the only one with a better final drive ratio.

Here's a wild guess: 14.0 seconds.

it depends on how much the thing weighed. my friends 2000lbs 213hp rx3 ran 12.8's, my other friend had a 2750lbs fd with 320rwhp, running 12.6...
