Re: Intros and set up..

Yeah, I find the calculators interesting at the least. The one I use http://www.jcalculator.com/?c=1_4_mile_calculator said I'd go best 12.27 @ 111mph based on my 410 rwhp I made previously. I honestly think with a bigger converter (the 4,200 I'm going with) I would have been faster than that calculation.

I wish I could find one that allows you to put in frontal area, weight, power. Just having weight and mph is great, but what about aero...

Keep in mind though, I am going to a 30" tire. So the gearing will be different from your example. On the unit, I should also be making 630ish. I'm hoping to trap closer to the 130mph mark. If I could lock the verter on the unit a 4.88 would be perfect, but I think it will put too much stress on the clutch packs. So assuming 15% loss unlocked a 4.30 geared 30" tire set up would be great on the bottle. But that is going to kill my NA set up..

All these things to look t and figure out
