He’s usually 9.90 @ 158-160, with his single carb his best mph is 162.At the gators he was having issues & his mph had dropped to 155-156. I was running 157 there. & never making a clean pass. We have matching 1250 get’m carbs on both. Both cars have 3 speed lenco/bruno combinations. 2.08 1st for him, 2.24 for me & both have lightened 4.57 gears. Mine was built to be a twin to his but that never works out. Both have Bickel chassis as well.

My simulations below 1000 foot with a throttle stop are way out. About 10 years ago here on PY I did do some simulations for someone who was running a .90 class. The idea for to see what MPH increase they would get from more HP but still running the same et. The simulations were fairly close.

Thank you for that information.

1000 Foot ET = 8.4739
1/4 Mile ET = 9.9008
1/4 Mile MPH = 160.2311

How close is my 1000 foot et?
