I was wondering what we have been able to get to on 1/4 mile times with the Maggie powered cars this year? There have been quite a few put on this year and Lot's of guys heading to the track making passes.
I'm going to have to wait till spring to run mine and I'm hoping for low 12's just have to wait and see I guess.
Near as I can tell HemiSam has the fastest time to date, but I might have missed some. I don't care if it was six speed or auto really, just bored and curious what the fastest time to date is for the MagnaCharger?

Unless HemiSam has made a pass I have not seen BKirk has it with an 11.79.If you do not care what transmission they are running.

 

[Boatman]

Look's Like BKirk has made the fastest pass so far. I would be happy as hell with a pass of under 12.

 

[HemiSam]

My one trip to the strip was good for an 11.84, so I think Brad's got it.

Wow, I'm finally first at something and didn't get arrested for it.
I'm actually surprised that time held so far, especially after the ATCO event.
I'm sure someone in the warmer states will get a run in soon to better that time.
Here in PA. I'm looking at 6" of snow.
Will be a long time before I get back to a track.
Have a few more tricks to try out.

You did us proud, Brad!

Heck yea Brad nice run!! It's going to be a long winter for those of us in the north for sure. Maybe we can leach info from the southern boys and not have to learn the hard way lol.

 

[Speedlogix-Sales]

Nice run Brad!!!

Looks like for Auto Brad has the number to beat and 6-Speed Sam has the number to beat

It can only get better from here on out!

MJR5150 over on LXF ran [email protected] with his Maggied 6.1 300SRT8

 

[Boatman]

Do you have any idea if he was full weight? Or did he loose a little? That a good run for sure.

Not only was he full weight but he had 500lbs of extra stereo crap in the trunk.

^^^^^^^^^^ That's nuts haha. What kind of boost and tune is he running? Pump gas?

It seems those 300s can be pretty fast with a blower. I saw TheMush run 11.6 at 118 with a Vortech'd SRT 300. He had the short DRs on the back. I think that helps the gear a lot.

10psi and not sure if he was on 93 or 100 octane.

That's funny, guess It's better than a 500lb girlfriend riding shotgun though.
OK here is another question I've been wondering about. I have a set of nto5 tires coming. My question is will they be sufficient for a decent launch or should I be looking at getting something else?
I don't have a problem going out and getting a couple 18" wheels for it. If i do that what would be good tire nto5r? Or full on drag tire? I would like to see my 60' around 1.6-1.8 if at all possible.

If you're getting a set of dedicated drag rims, then go with a drag radial like a Mickey Thompson or M&H. Several of us have gone that route on 17" rims...

Best combos for launching right now is a 17" rim and your choice of M&H,MT or Hoosier tire. The Nittos don't work so good with the IRS.

17" will fit over the brakes?
