Just as a curiosity, what's the slowest trap you've ever seen (or done yourself) that still ran an 11. Even if it was an 11.99.

If I can find the slip, I went 11.6 @ like 78mph. lol I put it in neutral after the 1/8th. I went all the way to MIR just to find out they were teching.......so if I didn't see a good 60' I was just getting out of it.
LOL well i meant an 11 second quarter where you were trying all the way through :) I figure after seeing the zl1/blown gt duel the minimum number for an 11 has to be below 115. Just wasn't sure how much slower it could be and still tick off an 11.
11.98 @ 112.88

ran an 11.19 at 119 against gates in his supra who ran a 11.25 at 135
Ran 11.95@116 in the ss
Wow so with a really good driver mod cracking 11's with a trap as low as 113 is possible. That 11.19 with a 119 is nuts!
So with some bolt ons 11's might be attainable with the 5 litre?Originally Posted by Cam99
We have a few new 5.0's in the 11's with bolts ons and drag radials!

No access to the time slip right now, but last test and tune I went 11.79 @ 113 or there about at 3200#'s.
Your question is a bit loaded asking ET to MPH without discussing weight, pretty easy to ET at a low MPH in a light weight car.
Really? How so? I figured even if its light weight if it has lower power then it would trap similarly to a heavier car that has more power all things being equal, wouldn't it?
From what I've seen it appears that for a given time there is a (somewhat normalized) distribution of MPHs that go with that given time. I wasn't trying to provoke simply trying to understand where the "reasonable lower bound" (vague, I know... lets say 2 sigmas below the mean) is for a given ET. In this case, 11.9X.
If I'm off base and the mph distribution does not follow a normal (in the statistical sense) distribution then thats a different story.
I always figured 110 to be the bare minimum trap speed needed to run 11.9s on a perfect pass. Trap speed indicates average horsepower put down throughout the pass vs vehicle weight, right? I always thought that it's really the best indicator for potential ET.
It's going to be tough to run 11.9 with a 110 trap - you'd need a perfect 60' with the right gear, tire, etc and an overall perfect pass. The more MPH you've got the easier it gets.

11.2 @ 123
I just went 11.6 at 113. Car just has to work thats all. 3850lbs
By the way I have gone 11.9s before at like 109-110 so very doable.

I was at full weight. Only weight reduction was removed back seat and put on big and littles.. Did 11.4s consistently at 112~
