8.72 in the 1/8 ='s ?? in the Quarter.

Anybody know what the formula is to estimate your 1/4 times, and Horse Power?

Due to the weather, the track was only allowing us to run the 1/8. This was my first time running this truck. Only got 3 runs, and 8.72@78.45MPH, 60ft=1.905, was the best. We won't discuss reaction times

they all sucked.

The most boost I was ever able to build was about 15lbs, and the truck still just crawled out of the hole, at least that's how it felt. I just wasn't able to get in to the lights quick enough to start building boost. Darn imports beat me into the staging lights every time

although I had some nice burnouts

, and I ran them all down during the run, it could have been alot better, at least I was hoping for more.

Thanks for your help,
