Default Ran my VHO yesterday at our local 1000ft track.

Made a few passes during test and tune at our local 1000ft tack yesterday. Had slot of traction problems due to cool weather and poor track prep from it raining the nite before. Best pass was an 11.71 @ 92mph. I think if I can get it to hook I can run 11.40s very easily. The power is definetly there and I'm 4 mph faster than another car that ran 11.65s all day long. What do you guys think? The track owner even came up to me asking about my truck. He said man for all the traction problems you are having that truck hauls the mail. He said I was hurting alot of Mustang GT owners feelings lol.

Man I'm not sure honestly. I'd guess a 12.8 or 12.9?

More like high 13's in the 1/4 but thats moving for sure! Got to remember theres only 350 feet to go to make it a 1/4. Just the mods in your sig? Thats a 6.0L right?

No the VHO is a 6.0. I'll get my slip and post it later. I wish I had a proven way to calculate my 1000ft time to a 1/4 mile time. I've just gotta make the truck hook now. I've got catless true duals so I figure with some longtubes and the truck hooking up I'll be in the real low 11s.

Take your mph. See how long it takes to cover 320 ft, and you will know the absolute slowest you would cross the 1/4 in. Give me a minute I will edit this post.

I get 2.37 so that would put you right at high 13s. You will be a bit faster because you will gain speed and not maintain the 92 I calculated it at.

I would say mid 13s should be your goal if you can find a 1/4 track.
Just saw a post of a 11.271 1000 ft, with a 13.5 quarter at 101. So 13.5 would be I god goal with expectations of 13.7 or so.
