My freinds (unbeknownst to me) have been talking a lot of **** to the locals and have made several sidebets involving my car at the local 1/8 drag strip. My car isn't really setup for drag... nor have i EVER been down the dragstrip before. I'm one of those road course guys...ya know.. anyway, seems to be alot of people betting my 2 buddies that my car can't break 7.9's or better in the 1/8. What can i expect out of this thing next weekend?? Anybody?



Aggressive half-bridgeported FD, GT35/40R , HKS FMIC, 3 "downpipe only (electric cutout valve at the end of the DP, yes it's very loud) 9.5lb flywheel, ACT extreme clutch, stock gears, and will be on 275's yoko A032R tires. I think thats all the mods that are relavent to this. The car is strong, and has all the other misc mods to support this setup... I just wanna know what my chance of doing this are??



Thanks guys,



Shannon

Do you know your RWHP??



Best I can tell you need to run a 12.00 to 12.20 1/4 mile to hit a sub 8 second 1/8 mile.



I would say you need to be in the 350-375RWHP Range to accomplish that. 1/8 mile is all about launching so traction is the big issue. My car is like yours its set up for track racing so it sucks at standing starts = bad 60' times = bad 1/8 mile. Once she gets moving my 1/4 mile times are nice. But I suffer from the stop.



Good luck!

Put some slicks/drags on and you should be able to hit that time depending on how much boost you are running.

No idea on my RWHP yet.. Hoping to get it onto the dyno to do some fine tuning this week before i take it to the strip.



Thanks for the tips!
