I'd say low 11's and maybe high 10's with good traction.
I reckon you'll run out of revs though as my stock R1 BEC was hitting 110mph over the line, so yours should easily exceed 120mph.

I think I may have to build a 3.14lsd.
traction is going to be problem, but when ive learnt a bit about the car( and saved some cash) Im gonna put a 6 stage boost controll on.
out of curiosity what time do the 300bhp nissan turbo boat anchors do?

I'd say mid-11's... so much power you'll have hell on trying to hold down the back. Maybe if using slicks you'de get into low
11's late 10's.
Hope that 'bird engine is dry sumped!

Also depends on how you set it all up, if you set it up purely for 1/4 miles with spool diff and suspension specifically for maximum traction then
you'd get it lower, but then it compromises the car too much for other use. A chap called Dave Edmunds has done this with a Hart powered
Caterham. Its about 300bhp normally aspirated with a sequential box and purely set up for drag racing and its almost dipping into the 9's I
think.

Yes I think 120 mph will be your limiting factor,you should be looking at a 125/130 mph terminal I would have thought

I havent added up everything yet, but i have dry sumped as well, i think its around 6k,
ill post exact costings and spec as soon nas i know,
it could probably be done for around 4500,
it sounds alot of cash, but i only paid £4800 for the car and ive spent no more than £7000, including willwood brakes and new whels and tyres, so at
around £12000 I think its worth it all day long, im sure some of you have spent nearly that on a new build wit standard engine?

else.

A rear wing will aid traction once under way. It should also improve stability. Looks pretty slick though.

I would give it a race round Cadwell anyway, with its drag specific setup it wouldnt come close once you introduced it to corners.
Dilley, a spool diff is basically a lock-up diff I think, so no good at all for going round corners.

My 200bhp (ish according to digidash2) zx12r powered bec spins the wheels in the first 3 gears, I dread to think what 320 bhp and a turbo will do to
the traction..
And thats with warm 888's
Opinions are like backsides..
Everyone has one, nobody wants to hear it and only other peoples stink!
