It is pretty amazing that you can just dial this thing up and down. I made a pass on 10psi right before the 10.08 pass. It went 11.22@121mph, smooth as silk. Crazy that the same car can run a full second faster with a few key strokes on the laptop.

I would love to try leaving in 2nd, but the trans brake only works in 1st gear.

Dizuster, What were your short times? We only run 1/8 mile down here in the south and I cannot relate to the 1/4 mile times. I have a 360/380 hp crate motor I would like to experiment with the turbo deal. THANKS.....

You really cant use those tables with a turbo car..
they tend to be soft on the front half but come on big
on the top end

As a good multiplier for a N/A set up... multiply
your 1/8 by 1.57

Thanks, if you could get your 60 ft. better you would run nines easy. I know turbo cars run better on the top end. You should look into getting it a little lighter it would really pick up.I know that is easier said than done.Thanks..

How about a Dana 61? They used those in the first gen Cummins trucks equipped with a 727, they had a 3.07 ratio

finding one of those would be difficult these days, but if you could find one of those early cummins/727 trucks you could rob the rear end and still probably sell it for what you paid, and most people want those trucks for conversion uses.
