For FWD cars, usually the rear toe is set to 1mm toe in on each side. Front is set to 0mm on each side.

About time you hit the strip.
your mph is real good.

jsut dont expect the same mph with a quicker 60ft ;)

What i'm about to post is a gross oversimplification: V = U + AT
Provided the initial velocity is the same, in this can 0, a reduction in time spent at a constant rate of acceleration will result in a lower terminal velocity...

Yeah, when I think about it carefully, I think there are two situations, one is applied to your theory and one is applies to my thoery, first one is like you guys said, the wheel just keeps spinning and the car doesn’t move much, therefore the speed will increase in a shorter distance , therefore you get shit 60ft ,high mph.
Second situation is that car bogs down , then you have to rev from low rpm again, therefore you waist time for bogging down, that’s basicly what happened to me , cos every time as soon as my tyres got traction , the engine started revving only from 3000rpm which is not really fun, so I still reckon if I can lower my 60ft time , my mph will go up , that’s just my thought

Sums it up. There isnt a accurate forumlae to work out the exact 1/4 mile time of a car as too many factors.
Lets work on our launches Jeremy !
I shoudl easy hit the 13 second STOCK club ehehe. Anyone here joining me ?

I have man.. stock with undersized intake... 2.25 intake arm heheh..
14.4 - 2.3 60ft
Got it tuned and made more power..

Then i wacked on 3" intake... lost it all and worst than stock..

now its stock ecu with stock 3" intake arm.. feels quicker than when it was tuned with the 2.25 intake
Ill hit it again eheh...

but fark me 14.1 with a trap speed of 99mph.. what was your 60ft?
thats a high trap speed
