  1. Please do not be disappointed. Just go and have fun. If you have your heart set on 12 seconds it'll break.

  4. Exactly.
    I used one of those estimater programs once where you punched in a ton of variables, it even told what RPM you should launch at and the car was almost exactly 2 seconds slower than the program said it would be. I even put someone int hat could drive just to make sure it wasn't just me.

    But it was a fun experiment.

    i wasent saying that 4.11 never work becuase in the right car they do .
    take your rod to the track with the set up you have and give it the berries
    have a look at your ticket you will get one of 2 reactions
    A . you will be over the moon at the time you just run
    B . you will be a bit uninpressed

    on the run a great big grin will have appeared on your face .
    after the the run result Aor B Will result in you getting back in your rod and going back to the start line and trying to beat your last ticket, with the big grin appearing again .
    Its an addiction sir and after the first run your hooked lol
    have fun with your car dude what ever time it runs

    Go find a teenage punk in a honda stopped at a light. Race him to the next light. If he wins you know your slower than 15's.

    Hi all!
    I made a measurement of my driveline and a car mentioned by a HAMB member.
    It has 3.08 rear axle ratio and it is very interesting I can run like I have 3.2 rear ratio or so. Not bad... What do you think?

    There is a picure attached. In full size you can read the whole measurement.
