60ft Question..

[MY 85 GT]

ok i know there is a formula somewhere couldnt find it....if you run say a 2.0 60ft and bring that down to say a 1.8 or high 17s...how much should that take your ET down? example....say you ran 13.1 with a 2.0 60ft now you can hook do to drag radials...etc etc...and now ran a 1.8 what would that net you?

general rule of thumb is for every .1 in the 60... .2 out the back

Thats what i thought i had someone tell me it was only .1 out back....

there is a point where what you pick up early you only pick that up out the back. our 60's are kinda hard to measure seeing how it starts to power wheelie about 40-50 feet out so we mainly go off the 330 number then the 330 to 660 and base the passes off the splits

ok my 330 was 5.315 1/8 was 7.977 92.09 mph... 1/4 mph speed was 118....60ft was 2.006

Generally speaking, one up front = two out the back. Your new time would be 12.7. Then when you put full suspension and sticky tires on it, you pull a 1.5, and now the car runs 12.1. But honestly... with a 118 trap speed, that's totally an 11 second car on a good pass.

Most definetly has an 11 sec pass in those times! With a more dedicated suspension,light wheel/slick combo I wouldn't be surprised to see a low to mid 11 et in good air. Good luck!
