MY 1/8 time

 I will 1st start by saying MPH really don't mean shit, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a factor.

 

 

Wouldn't picking up MPH be a good thing? I thought MPH dictated how quick you can go and how low your ET is based on the 60 foot. So wouldnt it actually mean something? 

 

If he picked up MPH he can always tweak stuff to get the 60 ft and ET back thus making it faster, no?

 

I don't want to make a big deal over this MPH thing, re-read what I stated.

 

In a timed distance heads-up run it doesn't matter what MPH is ran. The quickest time will win the race. That's if the reaction times are the same, period! Take the OPS run of 6.991 @ 90 MPH. If he was in a heads-up race with his opponent with equal reaction times. The opponent runs 6.992 @ 98 MPH, the OP wins with a lower MPH.

 

The majority of ET comes early in the run & a lesser degree later in the track (MPH).

Yeah i get what your saying, in the situation of it being a heads up race. Since OP Is testing and tuning though shouldn't he be happy with a MPH increase? Means theres room to improve right? Or does gearing effect 60ft and ET that bad?

I gave 2 gear ratios that should put you close to what you need to bring the mph up. The problem is, you might be getting to the point of picking up MPH, but losing ET. Without doing other things to make the gearing work. The only way to find out is try the 2.05 ratio to start. If it picks up in both ET & MPH that's a good thing. The object is to keep going in the direction that shows the improvement you want. When it stops going the direction you want, then go back to your last desired set-up or figure out why it didn't work.

 

If the OP is happy with a MPH increase only. Then that's all that really matters.

 

I agree with you, there's always room to Improve. At the same time, I kind of addressed the situation above.  I hope he does the gear change & is quicker/faster. That would be the ideal outcome.
