1/2 mile wide open questions?
All,
I have never done the 1/4 mile or anything that type of track. Only track I've been on is the road course at NCM. That said, I have the opportunity to do the 1/2 mile from dead stop to the 1/2 mile mark. My set is is currently around 580WHP. What kind of top speed should I expect?? its in August so I'm sure the temps will be in low to mid 90's and I'm sure thats a factor. |
My 600 rwhp 2000 Camaro SS traps 130 mph in the 1/4 mile, and it weighs about 3800 lbs with me in it. With your setup in the 1/2 mile you'll be leaps and bounds above that mph.

I did a half mile in 2017 (Wannagofast) and the car did 114 in the quarter and 139 in the half. Did another one in 2018 and the car did 118 in the quarter and 144 in the half. Looking at the math, both times the car added 22% in the back half. If you had any 1/4 mile runs on you car, you could roughly calculate your 1/2 mile terminal speed. Perhaps you can find some data in the 1/4 Mile V-8 Fast List for cars similar to yours in HP and weight to get an
estimate for your 1/4 speed. My guess is you will go high 120's, maybe low 130's in the 1/4 mile and 155-160 in the half. Good luck. |

all good information. thanks! I have no plans on running E-anything. Meth is still up in the air, just not really sure where to begin or how much its going to cost. (not that cost is a factor at this point). I was told that 600 is really where the fuel starts to run out. My tuner seems to think that where I'm at is good. but I'm overly cautious on everything. Last thing I want to do is blow a motor/rings etc... especially when I don't' even have 6000 miles on it yet. I've always ran 93 octane, and I'm not even sure where around where I live sells 100+. i guess i'm not a tuner, but I've always thought you really should run close to what your tuned for. Education is bliss!
**to further digress, if I did find 100+Octane, it would be safe to run in the current state? |
