Assuming of course that I get a good launch and dont spin.

I will be running about 2850 lbs (no passenger or rear seats and everything else easily removed out of the car)

5lb flywheel
12 lb rims
Bridgestone S-03s 225/50/15 -unfortunately 25 lb tires- good traction for streeties tho
about 18-20 PSI in front tires

MEVI
JWT ECU
96 Octane petrol
Full exhaust (Stillen Y/B/Muffler)
Underdrive Pulley
Hi flow cat
Short thow shifter...

Thats about it... I know most of it is going to be driver ability but I want to know if I drive it right/really well - What can I hope to hit? Just curious to hear what people think... I have an idea of what I would be happy with but want to compare it to the gallery's...

*EDIT* it will be at about sea level around 50 degrees...
Cheers!

 

17.2 @55 mph

 

good one

 

Anywhere from 14.1 to 14.6 depending on your driving skill and the track's available traction. If you can pull a 2.1X 60', you should be looking at lower 14s. If you get 2.1-2.3 60 foots, you should be looking at ~98-99mph traps.

That 5lb flywheel may hinder you though because it will make launching an absolute *****. With 75% less rotational inertia, the VQ will bog off the line if you can't keep the rpms high with a ton of clutch modulation. Light flywheels are good for road racing, but not for drag racing.

Hmm Err Grrr ARR PFFF Drat! Well, Lets hope I can modulate well cause I sure as heck aint sending the flywheel back! Sounds like I am gonna have alonger learning curve cause of it.

 

don't forget your tirerack sticker, that's like +50WHP!

u will expect low 11 secs

 

With those mods, a 2.15-2.20 60' and 50 degree weather should get you low around 14.0-14.2 @98 or so.
