Thumper Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Awesome times on street tires! What octane are you running? I run the same setup on the street with 93 octane. But at the track since I was doing alot of back to back runs I decided to put 2 gallons of 104 mixed in with about 4 gallons of 93. I probably wouldn't have had a problem but for $10 you get the added safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Maudlin Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 So do you know how much your car weighs and what kind of hp it is putting out? 11 seconds on street tires is a great goal for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOZ UP Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 That's awesome! From Z-Bum's calculator (http://az-zbum.com/hp.calculator.shtml), that should be about 350RWHP. He already mentioned he weighed in at 2,620 lbs. I hope my 240 ends up being that light, if not lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 18 psi by 3300 rpms? Damn, it's taking me 3800 rpm just to hit 10 psi. I can't imagine how bad it will be when it's intercooled and I up the boost. It makes the launch easy though. 13.7 1/4 mile on 215 street tires. The turbine is a T3 with .63 A/R. The compressor is a T04B and I forget what the A/R is... 0.7 something I think. I wouldn't think it would be that hard to spool.

Mike C Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Great power! What tremendous mile an hour. But your 60' sux... Next thing has to be a limited slip. You should be able to trim nearly 2 tenths off your 60' alone with both tires pushin'. Then the drag radials and 1.6s could be in your future!

He says he ran 11's on street tires. According to the calculator, my car should be in the 10's. I think I would aspire to run 11's on street tires. EDIT: OH wait, I forgot to put my fat *ss in the car. Still in the low 11's. I think high 12's would be more realistic. EDIT: SO the questions remain: 2620 lbs. What was the wheel HP?

Sparks280zt Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 The quarter mile calculator can not be used really to determine wheel horsepower. Reason is, if you put in Jnjdragracing's quarter mile time into the calculator the number it gives and their actual dynoed whp is 200 to 300 hp difference.
