Default Re: Possible to trap 95+ in the 1/8?

I have one of the fastest trap speeds in the 1/8 at 93.5 mph (excluding nitrous or V8 conversion), and it took everything including the kitchen sink to get there. Sorry, but you can bolt on every mod under the sun (excluding nitrous) and you'll be lucky to crack the 92mph mark in positive DA. Reality is, you won't see a 95mph trap in this car with the bolt-on's currently available unless you're willing to add nitrous or do an engine swap.

I'm not trying to brag - just trying to put things into perspective. Click on the link in my signature "myslips" for more examples of typical trap speeds versus ET's.

Good luck.
