1/4 mile question

[alan b]

i was doing some snooping on some drag converter sites and what not, like this one
http://www.turbofast.com.au/Drag.html
and got me thinking, theres a drag event coming up soon, and im wondering what to expect so i can decided on a class(they go by times) at the last event it was pissing rain, non treated surface(airport runway) i had no diff, and was one ****e tyres, best i got was 14.1. i had a trap speed of 115 mph. running a fairly std LET at .8 bar
i no now have a diff, new injectors, fpr, xe inlet, running 1 bar. car now weighs 837 kg's, and hoping for some dry weather:cool: so what sort of times should i be looking?
edit: running a cr f16 dunno what ratio exactly will only do 138. thats limiter in 5th

id say high 12s - low 13s if its stripped

Have a nose in this (http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88515) thread, there's a few LET times in there.

low 13s if its stripped
due to traction issues? would i not make it up after 60 foot?

[blue_peg_16v]

maybe pauls is on the first page of jacks post 278 bhp and totaly striped 12.9

valver corsa is on there too 250bhp ran a 13 dead

[mayhem]

depends on the driver, the track, tyres etc etc but with youre spec's a 12.8 would be normal.

if your not into the 12's your doing something wrong lol, i wouldnt expect that gearbox to last long though lol

[mayhem]

lol it's all about the driver :P i know a guy with a nova who cant get under 14. (xe, cams, lexmaul inlet, chip)

i wouldnt expect that gearbox to last long though lol
neither did i, but its taking a serious hammering. i snapped two input shafts on f20's with this engine and this f16 has been going for over a year now. i rebuilt it before fitting with a daewoo input shaft as a heard there slightly different material, no proof of this of course but its going welllol

[djbrowney]

thats always good to no mate, strange how two very simlar gearboxes cab be so differnt lol

[mayhem]

for some reason f16 boxes last longer then f20..

maybe due to the fact that most f20s are abused, and a f16 from a grandpa cavalier never took abuse?

[Nobby]

hmmmm i was going to chuck my f16cr in favour of an f20 my f16 has taken a battering like you say but still keeps going lol

[Adam]

Luck of the draw tbh, some people break f16s/f20s with a std xe
