[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 15605908, member: 68944"] I could see slicks and skinnies launching very well with a 4.9 1st on a limited torque setup. Mechanically, that's about 3400lbs/ft of torque if my mental math is correct. It'd probably be a bit much for drag radials though. Let's say it has 750/700hp/tq as measured in a 1:1 gear. Multiply that by 4.9 and you get 3430lbs/ft tq to be exact. That's a lot of effective torque. Divide that out by the tire and factor in a 3.27 rear and you still need something like a 31x14.50 drag slick to actually stick that much effective torque, again mental math/guestimation. Most street outlaw and renagade cars run what like a 2.40 1st iirc? They can run a 28x12 because the effective torque is almost half, like 1500ish in most cases. Again just mental math, I'm not an engineer. The new demon launches on a similarly high 1st gear running like a 4.10 1st iirc, but that car weighs 4100lbs and is using electronics to limit torque on launch down into the 400wtq range if I've read between the lines well enough to understand what it is their doing with the software/bypass setup on the car. I think ford would either have to do the same, with something like 275-300wtq on the initial bite, then ramp up to 500wtq by the top of 1st, go full power from 2nd forward. Or they could just lock out 1st for launch mode and start off straight in 2nd. Launching in a 2.9/1 gear with 700tq is like 630wtq, which would be 1827wtq (effective) which you then can factor a 3.27 rear would definitely hook hard on a 27-28x12 drag radial, it'd probably pull a 1.4-1.5 60ft and about 1.75-1.8G's of launching force assuming the mag shocks were tuned for it to rock back, set and squat, tires were aired correct, moon was half assed, wind was nice, seas had parted, mountains had a little snow, and so on... Just guesses, I'm excited to see how it ends up working. :Beers: One things for sure, it won't be long now. And honestly, it should be easy to get 10's from it based on what's happened the last 3 years in the gm and dodge camp. The ford guys are well aware and actively pursuing this type of strong all around performance much like the zl1/z06. [/QUOTE]
