12's N/A

We've taken collections when someone blows a motor.
We could start a trust !

I posted back in the day we should have a supercharger raffel and now Bob & Bunny have a Trilogy on the top of Black Bird.
How many S/C's have been raffel'ed off since?

And what better beneficiary of said trust than me? I know how to do it (12's n/a), but if I spent that much money my wife would have my hide.
 
OK!

I'm officially lost!....:mad:

How many of these 12 sec N/A threads are there?
Can we combine all 4 or 5 now???
 
It has sparked two pages of discussion in less than two hours.
If Barry got to 13.2 in warm weather on 4:10's , with more gear and better track conditions it most certainly seems probable.
What do you think you could do different to get to this goal?

So Bradley G, what's the point of this thread?

He did it on bald Pirelli's...so getting it to hook better and cooler weather would have done it.

NOW!
Let's combine the multiple 12 sec N/A threads BEFORE I start to use the "Report Post" button!!

But there is a point where too much gear will cost you on the top of the track. the key is to get the right gear and rpms and I personally do not think that a stock motor will hold up to the rpms that would be needed.
 
Me neither, at least not for long.

I'm still interested in what the MPH numbers did from 80 to 45degrees because if you run a 14.0@98.5mph when it's hot out with a 2.0 60' then when it's cool out run a 13.7@99.5mph and a 1.8 60' that's not the cool weather, it's the 60ft, you've gained a little power sure but the interesting point lies in the MPH... you aren't gonna go too much faster with that kind of MPH... even with more gear, it is possible to have too much gear and not enough power to use it.

So then with all this "Barry went 13.2 and it was 80degrees out" good info... but what was the 60' what was the MPH? if he went 1.7 60' and 101mph there was nothing left in it and colder temps wouldn't have done too much, especially if in cold temps his mph was similar. Now if in cold temps the car would mph 103 or so, then you could say that the temp would have helped.
 
With a forged setup, the correct cams, full 2 1/2 or 3" exhaust with no restrictions, a hell of a trans tune, and the right rear gear I think it could be done, you would need mid and high range to torque, like 3-7000k rpms to keep the car pulling to the traps and I dont know if even a forged assembly would hold. the biggest area to over come that I see is the last of power at the top end due to weight, wind resistance, and top end torque.
 
Also Altitude and humidity will play a role.
I think he was trapping @ 102-103

To all you 12 second N/A watanabees. Stop using your calculators and get on the track. Temperatures will be ripe in the next 30 days and will offer a good window of opportunity. Who is going to be the first. Start a poll and make it:censor:interesting.
