okay, i live in chattanooga TN and the only track around here is an 1/8th, as i'm sure donnie (the only other dsm'er who's from around here that i know of) will attest to. anyway, i plan on going out there soon for the first time with this car and i'm wondering if there is any way to guess at 1/4 times from the 1/8th. when i go i plan on running 16 psi (can the stock car handle 18?) and i will have a test pipe in along with K&N aircharger. i'd hope to be in the 14's in the quarter, but i don't know what to expect in the 1/8th. think i'll be able to get in the 9's?
thanks,
PAUL

Once you get your times, goto http://www.heckconsulting.com/dsm/drag.html and compare your 1/8th mile time against others in the 1/4 mile AWD non-nitrous category. Thats should give you a close estimate. I would look for 2Gs with similar 1/8 mile ET and mph and a close 60' time to yours.
