Going for 500whp N/A

Evil 5.0 what is the run on E85 or pump gas? What kind of tires? Also have you replaced your engine mounts and differential mounts or are they still stock?

All this info is in previous post and pictures. E85,MT drag radial 19" s/s, and stock mounts. :cheers:

Better 60' and tires? Looks like itll be in the 10s with more seat time.

Cutting some weight would do wonders too

I believe seat time and good air are key factors also. Losing weight is a must. Right now with this July air I wasn't too worried about that until I can get the launch down.

Im gonna see if i can get a deal on some weld wheels for the back of my car at the American muscle show!!!

Thought I would give you all update. 11.7@120 with a 2400 DA (corrects to 11.43@124). Race weight was 3980, yes she is HeAvY! Working on getting the tires broke in and proper launch techniques, it a whole new game but progressing steadily.

"Triple T" Also, you killed that guy off the launch!!!!!

Found some rear wheels that weigh 20lbs each. with a set 275/40/17's on them what do you think each one will weigh?

I lost 7 lbs on each corner with Michelin. My original PP rears worn weighed 63. When I mounted the MT drag radials to the rear rims (24lbs) end weight was 61. The drag radials are heavier than regular times. Mine also are a 325/30/19. So you may be at 48 lbs or so?

40-43lbs. I have some 265-40-18s here I can weight to give you an accurate number.


EDIT: tire is 25.2lbs. So figure 45lbs for your new setup plus air.

15 lbs of air, should be 60lbs! Lol:lol:

I hope you're joking because it doesn't work like that, you're confusing psi and lbs.

Hence the lol... U said plus air and I couldn't resist...:cheers:

That would be great, I'd lose roughly 20 lbs a side that's 40lbs of rolling resistance off the car probably gain 3/10th's...

The solution here is simple baer brakes all around with 15inch bead locks

Maybe I am wrong, but isn't trapping 120mph way under where you should be at 525whp?

WHP aside, Edgewater track here in Ohio with a DA +2400FT is garbage. No such thing as track prep there....ever. But it's all we have in the immediate area.

I was there with Evil 5.0 and my car was trapping 3-4mph under. We raced each other 7 times and sometimes he would win, sometimes I would. His drag radials were brand new so he was working on getting the right pressure and launch technique down. The car was getting faster and faster with each run. With some more wheel time and better air, you will all see his mph improve drastically.
