Your buddy's nuts! In similar weather, those 60' and 1/8 times are probably good for 12.0-12.1 @ 115 in the 1/4.

J-Rod · 08-22-2002, 10:05 AM

Multiply your 1/8 mile time by 1.57 that give you a pretty close idea of what your 1/4 will be. In your case.

12.32921

You're low 12 probably.

I ran about that time Sunday, but into a headwind (110mph), and ran 12.27.

Killer 60'!!! What tires?

Found the slip:

Fontana, 1100ft, 80deg,headwind=10mph
60'-1.766
1/8-7.879@89.45
1/4-12.272@110.04

Chris

1.80 60'
5.103 330
7.85 1/8
89.89 mph
10.205 1000'
12.20 1/4
112.36

83 degrees
d/a 29.23

So you see your right on the numbers for 12.20 and 12.10's

you get the temp down some and you will see.. Hint... Try and get your oil temp down to 150 or 160, then make your run see what happens.

I ran a very similar run in the same weather,
60ft-1.746
1/8 et-7.806
1/8 mph-90.91
1/4 et-12.064
1/4 mph-115.35

I think ur buddy with the 12.5 is out to lunch, one thing i should point out is that 12.0 pass was made after I removed the 30lb inj, and aftermarket intake setup and maft and reinstalled my stock airbox. Before that I was running 12.20's@114, this was all run the same day at the track. After my computer relearned from driving a full week my car picked up another 2 mph in the same heat.

Cool, I guess that $50.00 should be mine. He bet me 50 that I could not get 12.5, but thinks I will run 12.7 or more. He said I am not a professional driver...

You've only got one more shift to get you through the last set of lights (1/4), so if you repeat the above 60' time, and hit all your shifts, the money's yours. You'll get your best MPH if you stretch 3rd as close to the rev limit as you can. Be sure and report back here with the result!
