1/4 mile calculators
Has anyones 1/4 time actually been near what these estimate calculators claim your time should be? I say my car weights roughly about 3400lbs with me and I have about 350hp at the wheels. According to these calculators, I should be running a 12.5 at 109mph. I only got a chance to run the 1/4 mile only twice, and my best time out of those 2 runs was 13.3 @ 104mph. Just want some opinions on this.

Your trap is pretty low for someone who has 350whp... what was the condition when you raced? Do you have full interior? My car weighed 3660lbs with me in it and with almost empty tank of gas, no spare, no jack, no CAT, No muffler. You have a TT so that should be added weight too. Also did you shift close to redline? Shifting 6000rpm vs 6600rpm especially on the lower gears will affect your trap. I have 370whp and trapped 111mph with my heavy 19's.. I trapped 106.48 when shifting at 6000rpm last month with 28.71 barometer and 80F. When I shifted around 6600rpm I picked up about 5mph on my trap....
