What should i expect to run in 1/8 mi. ?

[Wreck]

I'm guessing in the low 9s to high 8's . just need to eliminate any wheel hop to save the transmission . You may not care if you blow the box but the other racers and track officials do if it drops its guts all over the track .

170whp , full weight Ghia ,with the added weight of the 091 and type 4 , 4.57R&P 2.92 .1.86 1.26 .089 gears .24in street tyres one good run was 8.48 . 83mph. with 1.95 60 tried to ramp up the launch but the clutch wasn't up to the task .

This shows the difference a little lower gearing makes . Ivkings' running a 4.13 R&P plus the 2 inch taller tyres affects times a fair bit . particularly on a heavy NA car .
There is always a compromise for a street/strip car .

I have A mid trans mount and truss bar hopefully that will help. As far as someone at the track having to wait till my mess is cleaned up welllll. Ive been going to the track with my family that races for about 30 years and i cant recall one race where we didnt have to wait on a mess to be cleaned up usually someone running antifreeze or thought if it gets on its top stay in it , it might get back on its wheels. Stuff happens thats racing. Get over it or stay home. I will be going on test and tune night not a points race and i will say it again im not going to be racing every weekend this is a street car just want to get an idea what i should expect.

Make sure you have some urethane spring plate bushings, or a combo of urethane, and a bronze retainer like from JayCee.

The urethane goes behind the brass spring plate from Jaycee. Keeps everything right and very little movement.
