First 1/4 times! woot!

All I've been able to run is the 1/8 around here so I finally made my way down to a 1/4 track. I was hoping for a 13.9 at the best really. Well, I was quite surprised.

Best run:
RT: .744 (I was sleeping)
60: 1.951
330: 5.705
1/8: 8.808
MPH: 79.00
1000: 11.492
1/4 13.736
MPH: 100.07


Made a total of 3 passes. Third run I broke my tranny mount....again. 60's were nice to me all day in the 1.9 area on street tires. Pulled off two other 13.7s at 100.xx.

Wow I'm really excited about this. Car just surprised me today. 137k everything is stock except what's listed in the sig.

AIR tubes are gone, cats are gone, but the air pump is still there just pumping air off into space. I need to get around to removing it and finding the right belt size.

Crank pulley I beleive and there was an altenator pulley, but it was removed years ago.

That definitely is impressive. Ive been running 1/8 mile only too so far and get consistent 9.0 to 9.1 et with just over 2.0 on 60' times. Ive got a 91 formula 350 with CAI, fastchip, and drag radials. I was hoping for low 14s in the 1/4. Ive got no headers, bigger catback, cats, and all smog stuff. I wonder if that stuff makes that much difference?
