Now you are down 4 MPH because you took out the manual transmission. Your not going to get the 4 MPH back unless you ad more HP to the engine or get the weight down or make the Vega more aerodynamic.
Another 50 HP or so should get you your 4 MPH back.
Jeff, I never got the clutch set on kill and I was only leaving at 4000. I'm sure with a higher launch it would have been closer to the 9.90 range. I am disappointed in the mph lose. Now should a 6.46 in the 1/8 be in the teens in the 1/4. Isnt this formula for 1/8 to 1/4 ET?
6.46 x 1.57= 10.14 Should I be working to get into the teens at that mph or is it not possible?
