What will my car trap?

40thAnnivGT · May 26th, 2010, 11:45 PM

Just a random question...when I'm done with my car (Vortech V1 S trim setup almost identical to Shaun03's except powerpipe and different intercooler) what do you guys think my trapping MPH will be in the quarter mile? Stock suspension, and drag radials, maybe slicks, 10-11lbs of boost, looking from 375-400rwhp

eddy21x · May 26th, 2010, 11:50 PM

if my calculatoins are correct you should be trapping 237mph
i may be a bit off though

sharkbait · May 27th, 2010, 12:14 AM

Im guessing 110-115

40thAnnivGT · May 27th, 2010, 12:21 AM

I'm leaning towards 115ish

chris247 · May 27th, 2010, 12:31 AM

Assuming you're at or close to sea level, probably 115 give or take a couple mph

your way off, it should be in the mid 500's

What are the rest of the mods on your car?

Shaun03GT · May 27th, 2010, 03:01 PM

I dont know how accurate this is, but theres a calculator you enter the weight of the car (with you in it) and the horsepower at the flywheel.

With mine, my trap speed should be around 115mph. I dont know how accurate it is though. Only way to tell is go to the track. Drag radials will help your time, but lower your E.T, slicks will do the same, but lower ur trap alittle more. I dont know why?

UPR Offroad X pipe, Magnapacks, Trickflow upper plenum, and 70mm Throttle body

MATT02GT · May 27th, 2010, 05:57 PM

I trap about 108mph with about 420rwhp. But Im also 6000+ ft above sea level

Blackbird1084 · May 27th, 2010, 06:31 PM

Shaun which calculator did you use and i'll tell you how close it is? And with what you have I think you'll be lucky to trap 112.

I know Ill trap higher than 112mph. Im like 90 feet above sea level. And someone trapped at 113mph with about 35rwhp less.

you won't know until you go ....
my buddy just ran his psc1 on 10lbs and trapped 108 with 3.73 on a 80degree day with drag radials. think he ran a 12.9

bandity2k00 · May 27th, 2010, 08:32 PM

I trapped 115 spinning 2nd sideways lol

Thats good. What tire's were you running?

mystang0673 · May 27th, 2010, 10:59 PM

you should probably see close to 120mph with that hp level.... my gt with a 100shot trapped 114mph and my new car on 10lbs trapped 124mph and it made 470rwhp. a friend with a setup like yours at 420rwhp ran 11.4@120. it depends on your altitude....

bandity2k00 · May 27th, 2010, 11:08 PM

Yup, I plan on 120 but i got a little too much gear with my tires so probaly will just rev it out and stay at like 117mph, Dont want to go to 5th lol. But yeah the altitude is straight here. And Shaun im on MT ET street radials. I had 35 psi in them because i stopped at the track home from work and wanted to see if it would hook and have a taller tire because of the air to help take out a tad bit of gear but it spun both runs and i dropped it to 17psi, Launched at 2500 and broke all my spider gears in my rear.

sweet right?
