Thread: time to guess what my car will do in the 1/4

Tweet

my friends dad has a '89 Dodge Daytona that has been pro streeted, has a 8pt cage, balkhaved, runs a blown ( Little M 6/71 ) small block through a TH350 with a shift kit, has a locker in the rear, wheelie bar, all the good stuff, but it has never gone through chassie cert or even been on the track, not even a test and tune. is street legal tho. dosn't make sense to have that much car, built for drag racing, then baby it down the street. oh yeah, given your car is 3,000 pounds, providing your tires don't go up in smoke, probably 13-14 seconds.

The guess from here is 16.20

1. Stage
2. Light turns green
3. Tires light up
4. Off gas, get traction
5. Pedal the gas
6. Worry about windshield blowing back in face
7. Cross finish line

Hope it's better! I have found that a "first" run for any car is
usually much less than you anticipate. It's a starting point from
which you continually improve. Not many drag cars run the record
on the first day out....same applies to a street car.

It will take you several sessions to figure out the small stuff.....
tire pressure, etc.
