1/4 mile question

[sethtroy]

i recently went to the track and ran my eclipse my timesl;ip looks like this:

60' 2.169
330 5.730
1/8 8.707
mph 83.33
1000 11.239
1/4 13.412
mph 103.72

the turbo was set for 22psi on race gas (and also had drag radials on) the turbo is a fpbig28 with all the supporting mods and bolt-ons. it would hit 22 and hold for acouple thousand rpms but then drop to 16psi. i just purchased the new 17psi actuator from froced performance. but people were complanning that my trap speed wasnt high enough. will i hit 12's with this new actuator?

You need to trap around 108 and above to hit a 12 with a FWD on drag radials. It will help if you can get the 60 ft. time down, too. I'm sure the new actuator will give you more power, but it won't help you hook up in first and second gear, and that is the most important part of the track when trying to go for a low ET.

Try it and see.

I think that 60' is pretty damn good for a FWD on street tires, definitly no work need there

If you can hold 20+ till redline that should bring up your MPH and lower your ET's quite a bit.

Bro he is on drag radials, he should be able to do better than that on 60'. Just work on your launch...once you install your new gear you should be closer to 12's.

Damn i'm blind. ohh well

Once you get your boost problems solved 12's are within reach.
