formula's track times
Went to Kansas City IR last night. My car is an 89 formula 350. Best pass:
60' 1.955
330 5.746
1/8 8.888
MPH 77.95
1000 11.616
1/4 13.912
MPH 98.43
Mods are:
SLP 1 3/4 headers
3" exhaust no cat w/ 3.5" catback flowmaster
March underdrives
Holley 52mm TB (not helping at this stage)
Free mods
stock airbox w/ K&N (airbox opened up)
B&M 2400 converter
All runs were on 245/50/16 Goodyear F1's. I had to ease into the throttle than mat it shortly thereafter. Didn't fiddle w/ timing or fuel pressure settings. I'm waiting on my Centerline Telstars to be shipped (M/T ET streets are sitting in my house waiting.
) I'm guessing I should be able to knock off a good tenth off the 60' with the E/T's or better since I'll be able to floor it off the line. I don't think 13.70's are out of the question. I'll probably switch to a 2800 stall, maybe next spring. Oh yeah, the stock posi is on it's way out and the motor has 143,xxx on the clock. The car has passed through a few buddies hands. When it had half the mileage it ran 14.20's @ 98mph when it was bone stock on street tires. I'm pretty happy how it ran considering the mileage. Does anyone have any other tips or suggestions in the way of tweaking or tuning barring the usual bolt-ons?
Thanks in advance.

dang thats nice!!
I running 1.94 60's and only ran 14.02 at 96 with 2800 stall, headers/3inch catback/and k/n filters along with adjustable shocks with eibach springs
Those are the times I am looking for. 13.70's shouldnt be not problem either. Get some radials or slicks and you will be there.

Yeah, I was pretty happy with the 60's. I also had a 1.97 but the rest were low 2.0's. I figured the right amount of throttle out of the hole to break the 2.0's. I won't get my wheels till the end of Oct, by then we'll have snow on the ground!
