New Personal Best Pass

I don't see where any of that matters as far as the 113 MPH... There are several N/A S197 guys running 18s up front and running very close to the same MPH. I don't see what 18psi in DRs has to do with low MPH with that kind of power. I've run 107 MPH with less than 300 RWHP with 15 psi in my DRs and 235/50-18 up front.


Not at all knocking your pass, but Ron Leonard ran 11.7s @114+ in his N/A stock block S197 with only about 300 RWHP. Granted it only had one seat in the car (lightweight race seat), but he was still 150 HP and well over 100 TQ less.

I honestly do not know why it is trap at such a slow speed. And to be honest it does not bother me, before when I was draging with my street tires if I could get it to hook, big if. I would trap anywhere from 117 to 118mph. As well when I ran this pass I had been trying to work on two things at once. My 60fts and my shift points. By the way my car had full interior 18x9 front wheels on, no front sway bar, and 17x9 drag wheels out back with mickey thompson drs.

Well, it's mostly about having fun which it appears you do

It is low, and having 18" wheels in the front doesnt mean S@%#...should have zero effect on your MPH, just like the pressure in your DRs. Maybe if your car weighed another 1000 lbs or so it would be right for 400+ hp.

yeah youre right guess both of our cars seemed slower on rt 4 that night.

Well I believe I know why my trap speeds were lower. Motor was hurting from the cracked intercooler leaking water down into the lower intake. But now that it is all back together watch out.

Good luck at the track with your fresh parts
