Your trap speed compares well with your E.T. That 60 ft time tells me that you need more traction.Festiva: Because even my dog can build a Honda.

Very GOOD. If you lower your tire pressure and get to practice your launch, it'll get better.Originally posted by gorgonheimer View Post
I've been able to get 2.2 60' in mine which would make yours (every 1/10th at 60' is 1.5/10ths at the end) be a 15.2. Must brand new mustang GTs run high 14s low 15s with an average driver. One easy way to see how good it is, just line up to nice cars at the track.
Last time I was at the track, I talked to, and lined up next to a guy in a new 370z. . I knew he was faster, but he spun a little, and I pulled him all the way down the track. He left immediately.
It'll only get better with tuning and practice. Keep us posted.-Greg

Is there a reason I see BP swaps running 15-16's and B6T swaps running 13-14's? Arent the engines similar in power? Or are the BP guys just getting too much power at the line (no lag) and getting no traction?91GL BP/F3A with boost

B6t makes more power. And then just like you said.Neil

Would a BP-T then make more power than the B6-T, or was that the previous reference?In love with a MadScientist!:thumbright:

Yes a BPT would make a good 20hp more than a B6T if they had the same turbo. If you put a good turbo on the BPT your could get around 240hp compared to the B6T of 175hp.
In other words a a bpt can do 12 seconds were as a b6t will do 13.5-14 seconds
