How bad will a non-working posi affect 1/4 mile times?????

just curious, i have a 9 bolt with 2.77 gears ( originally 3.45, but they were changed for some reason?) anyways i get the onw wheel wonder. i went to the track not knowing it wasnt working and ran a 15.291 @ 90.77 mph. something has to be wrong. btw the 60 footer was 2.364.

It all depends....

Did you have tire spin? If your tired were spinning then yes it hurt you. If you hooked good than no, you didnt loose any time.

I have the 10 bolt with 2.73 and a mild 350. My best is a 2.2 60' time with an average of 2.3 times.


Hope this helps.

Axle/Gears: stock posi 2.73, 12 bolt with 4.11s
listen i have a 305 tpi and my first time to the track was a great day it was almost perfect weather

i had my 3.45 9 bolt in at the time and the posi was not working and i got a 14.86 at 89.5 and my lowest 60' was a 2.02 and my wheel was spining
so you can run fast and get a low 60' with out a posi you just have to play around with your launch
to get those times i feathered the gas out of the hole until like half way through first the hit it
