Or helping you out (???). My car typically runs 13.8's @ an even 100 mph, with a 2.09 60 ft. What is your RPM at that trap speed?, and does the car run out of steam, or hit that max RPM way before the stripe? Also, what size tires do you run with those gears? Your 60 ft. is pretty good, but your trap MPH is way down, for a 13.8 run. I suppose there are two ways to read it.... since MPH is normally a good indicator of Horsepower, it would appear you're ET'ing real effective for the power you have. However, if you just plain run out of gear at the top, then the low MPH could just be evidence that you need more gear (???), as I would think a 1.91 60 ft. typically would have you in the low 13's. Gonna have to work on that reaction time, though... What happened, did you drop your sandwich???

60 foot is good? I'd think w/ that steap of gear it'd be better. Probably too much gear for that combo. I look forward to gettin' this thing up to 75/80 sooooon!
Gearing is the question, here, but until we know more about tire size and trap RPM, we're really just guessing. In general, yes!, for a 13.8 pass, 1.91 is a pretty quick 60ft.

My old 340 swinger w/ 3.55's used to get 1.99 and it ran 13.82. I thought it was weak because of the lack of stall and the 3.55's. Just wondering if he's turning them a few times before it bites.

Im running a 26" tall drag radial. I shift at 5500 and I finish about 5800. The car does not feel like it pulls much after about 1000 feet.
