In S/ST anyway alot of those "fast" 150mph cars are in the 2.0-2.2 60'and only gain 32-35 in the back half. I would think that would make them easier to judge for the slower cars as they are not as far back as I would expect for a faster car. I know my junk we could run as fast as 49 in the back half of the track depending on how we had the car set up.

My last S/ST car had no cubes and not alot of torque. It worked well because of the converter, stop set up and the power it made. HP makes up for alot in a t-stop car. The last few years I have helped a couple of guys with slower cars optimize there set ups to have better back half MPH and they have found some success that way, while still having decent 60's(1.70's).


Yep. If you're on the stop past 60. then you need to look at the 330. I tried to maintain a nice even 2:1 stop ratio to make it easy to figure on the go.

142MPH HP, I couldn't drop it into high on the stop. Killed the little motor.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
