Mike,

That's mighty good at 4200 ft. Makes you wonder what it would do down at sea level air. I'm proud of ya', that's for sure! Keep up the good work

I'm thinking high 7's, Charlie

Thanks Charlie and Steve!
Unfortunately I had to sell the car as a roller and start all over again. They killed my class so I have to build a stock suspension car and run outlaw 8.5 or TT5. Outlaw 8.5 weight is 3150 N/A on the Hoosier 27" x 9" slick and TT5 weight is 2950 on a 29.5 x 10.5 and I get to spray it. Haven't decided on a class yet but i'm building the car for both. The car has already has gone 5.35 @ 132 mph in the 1/8 in that bad air @ 3200lbs. The record in TT5 is 4.87 so I do not know how close I can run to that 250lbs lighter and a 200 shot?? what do you guys think?

Mike,

At the 4.87 level, I honestly believe it is more about the suspension and getting great weight transfer, and getting the small tires to "hook". I believe you are making enough power, and it sounds like you'll be adding nitrous, so you'll have even more power. Will the 200 shot come from a plate system, or can you use foggers?

Charlie

I was planning on using plates if I decide to run TT5. I was going to leave on the motor and hit it 100ft out and see if it will hold it. I will probably run the outlaw 8.5 on the motor to get a handle on the new chassis for now. It will be interesting to dial in the car without the aid of a wheelie bar since it is not allowed in 8.5. The race director said he wanted to keep the 8.5 class around the 5.50-5.40 range but I doubt that will happen. That Hoosier tire actually 9" wide and 27" tall so I do not think the tire will be the limiting factor for me. It's probably going to be the stock suspension and no wheelie bar learning curve.

Outlaw 8.5 at the valley use only MT 26 X 8.5's, not other tire is allowed. A low 6 second or high 5 second car used to be competitive a few years ago, but now they are getting into the 5.50's adn 5.40's

are you putting this in a fox body mustang and if you are where are you going to get the headers from?

The combo was already in a fox body so I already have headers.

so did you have them custom done or did you order them from a co.
