Did some testing and tune last night. The track that i run on is 1/8th. When I first baught the truck I took her to the track for some base line times, I was running 9.0 all night with 2.0 60 foot. Last night night with a grand worth of mods I ran 8.34 with a 1.83 60 foot. This was on F-1s also. I wish that I knew what the conversion was so I could tell if I made it into the 12s club.

Congrats, Paul.

You're right there as far as the 12s go. My best 1/8 mile is an 8.43 and I ran a 13.203 on that run. It's hard to tell if you'd pick up more than the difference in the 1/8 though, as your 60' time was .12 better than mine.

Still, at worst you are at the 13.0xx mark.

You're not in te 12's yet. but pretty close! About 8.20 should be there. Lloyd

 

Lloyd,
I gotta disagree. All of my 12 sec passes have been made with 1/8 times of 8.3X.

Paul, you should be there, but it's not a 12 until you really make the pass in the 1/4. No 1/8 conversions allowed.

That is what I thought, but I guess I just missed it. Oh well will have to try again.

 

Coolman ram air? Any pics?

 

I found this chart that seems to be pretty close. It's good for a ballpark comparison anyway. According to it, you'd be at about a 13.00 - 13.01. Who knows, you could still be in the 12's now depending on how much it made up in the last 1/8 mile.

My best so far was a 13.07, with an 1/8th mile of 8.22. So I guess a 8.2-8.3 is a 12.xx depending on a lot of factors.

 

Here's a formula that I worked out to calculate 1/4 mile times. It seems to come with 4 or 5 HUNDRETHS of a second although every once in a while it's off by a tenth. (Pretty accurate I'd say)

1/8th mile time * 1.55 = quarter mile

I think I'll post this one on it's own topic, since this seems to be a question that comes up a lot.

I was wondering how long it would take.

Coolman ram air is a home grown unit. What I did was remove the unused portion of the lower grill honeycone to the left. Then i removed around 3 inched of fram horn. I then bilt a catch box that feeds 4 inches of piping right into the air box. Works great.
