other details if needed


but what kind of power would it take to trap 130 with that gearing/weight?

 

I was 135 with 450 wheel, 2400 with driver.

 

Yeah, 400whp or so will do it at that weight. The pink full race civic went 130 with about 440whp, but falling out of the powerband pretty bad on every shift, so average power down the track couldn't have been over 400. I'm guessing it weighed 2200-2300lbs.

 

i'm pretty much trying to decide on what engine to go with to meet my need. i want a pump gas car that can possibly break into the 10's...at least LOW 11's...and i figure about 130mph SHOULD be there if i can drive...anyone agree/disagree?

 

130 will get you a high 10 on a good pass, with traction. Make sure your gear ratios work with the tire and powerband you have, that was the problem with the single cam, the gear ratios were all wrong.

 

i went 10.7 with 430whp on a dynojet @ 2400lbs with me in it. trap speeds were 130-133 i belive. actually that was with just a 6 pt cage so it may have been a little bit lighter?
