Is anyone else like this? I know this is coops evening but over here does anyone else stay up pretty late?
8 teens is the goal and it should be able to do it with no problemWhat times do you plan to run with those 275s?
Yeah, the size difference between a 235 and 255 is about the same as the size difference between a 255 and 275. Going from a 275 to a 235 is a HUGE leap! Funny, I built my car to run 315s and ran 12s with them. Then I went to 295s and 275s and ran 10s. Now I run 9s with 255s and plan to eventually run 8s on 235s.....I think I might be doing things backwards....My buddy has 235's on his 72 Nova, even my 255's look a lot bigger than the 235's! I'm glad I didn't go with 275's. I can't stand all the 275 class cars with 12" rims, and tires stretched to shit, it obviously works, but they look like shit!
Thats pretty quick for a focus. What numbers do you plan on running? if i could get my gtp to run 11.5 ill leave it alone lol best part about the car....is it has 185k miles and beats up on shit every dayDamn, that's pretty darn good. The Focus has gone 12.93 @ 105mph but that was before the Cosworth manifold, ported head, cams, better wastegate, LSD, 4.06 gear, meth injection, and tune. I've also dropped another 80lbs off the car since then. Just haven't had a chance to get back to the track.
SURE!! If you wanna drag race going backwards!I small tires on front does that count?
Ass backwards my friendYeah, the size difference between a 235 and 255 is about the same as the size difference between a 255 and 275. Going from a 275 to a 235 is a HUGE leap! Funny, I built my car to run 315s and ran 12s with them. Then I went to 295s and 275s and ran 10s. Now I run 9s with 255s and plan to eventually run 8s on 235s.....I think I might be doing things backwards....
Are you pulling timing or using a 7531 box?Yeah, the size difference between a 235 and 255 is about the same as the size difference between a 255 and 275. Going from a 275 to a 235 is a HUGE leap!

That's certainly very respectable for 275s!8 teens is the goal and it should be able to do it with no problem
Sounds like you're doing things the right way to me!!Yeah, the size difference between a 235 and 255 is about the same as the size difference between a 255 and 275.

Deal I do pretty good at going backwards.SURE!! If you wanna drag race going backwards!
LOL....fuck that noise....I'm a MAN. I footbrake and run an MSD 6AL.....and my timing is always set at 38 degrees.Are you pulling timing or using a 7531 box?
I just hope i can get it to hook out here lol norwalk and thompson, arent really prepped for radials...Milan is, but thats a 2.5 hr haulThat's certainly very respectable for 275s!
Oh yeah, and 1.32 60' time on 255s....no traction control or other aids either....yes, footbraking.Are you pulling timing or using a 7531 box?
That is cool. I was wondering as I know a lot of the use a box to get out of the hole and then ramp back up the power.LOL....fuck that noise....I'm a MAN. I footbrake and run an MSD 6AL.....and my timing is always set at 38 degrees.
I usually run on tracks that aren't prepped at all. Got my license on a wed night TNT street car night with zero prep on 255s. Took me about a dozen passes hot lapping the car to finally run a 9.I just hope i can get it to hook out here lol norwalk and thompson, arent really prepped for radials...Milan is, but thats a 2.5 hr haul
The current stock bottom end record is 12.38 so my goal is 12.37 or quicker. lol He ran that with 265whp on a 125 wet shot on VP-110 at 2410lbs. I'm making ~305whp at 14psi on pump 93 at about 2550lbs. His redline is 7,000rpm and mine is 7,800rpm. He has a 3.82 gear with 23" tires and I have a 4.06 gear with 24.5" tires so roll out is about the same. My top end charge with the turbo is a good bit stronger than his with the nitrous though.Thats pretty quick for a focus. What numbers do you plan on running? if i could get my gtp to run 11.5 ill leave it alone lol best part about the car....is it has 185k miles and beats up on shit every day
Any radial car has a hard time running at norwalk or thompson. I dont know if its the glue or what, but if you have a turbo car on radials and run at norwalk and cant get it to hook, slap on slicks and it hooks like a mother fucker lol Milan is more of a heads up radial track and theres alot that run there.I usually run on tracks that aren't prepped at all.
