3000 empty plus me at 205 plus 5 gal gas at 35 equals 3240 on the start line.How much does the car weigh Mike?
No. Engine Dyno. flywheel horsepower and torque.Was this on a chassis dyno?
I agree....If all goes well and you get it dialed in.
You're looking at a 8.80 to 8.9x hot rod.
And you will be right around 150mph.
It's going to take some time to get it all sorted out.
8 second rides aren't easy to get 1st time out.
I suspect 9.0x to 9 teens for a few outings.
We do have Q16 sold by the Fuel Vendor at my home track in Famoso (Bakersfield) and a few of my buddies run it and they like it. They are there every race with a truck full of different brands and grades of race gas, plus methanol (alky).Mike after you get comfortable in the car.
Make steady passes, I'd get some Q16 race gas if California allows it.
Jet up 8 jet sizes and hang on.
