with my current sig, a slightly modified SA map on a stock 89 vette chip,

my best was 13.1 @ 108mph.

is this decent.

 

The MPH is OK,but I think you should be in the mid 12's or better.

 

Yeah, you need traction.

 

Ya get some traction and you should be in the low low 12's. How bad are you spinning? Are you running DR's

 

no hes on some kumho 711's. we (norcal'ers) keep telling him to get some real tires

 

What was the 60 foot?

I'd say that's pretty good on street tires, I was thinking it'd have a little more in it however from your C5 race thread...

 

60's where 2.0-2.1 I think

 

My calc says a 108 trap has the potential for about a 12.5 at best.
So you have several more tenths to pull out of it if you can figure out how.
This isn't the proper board for this thread though dude.

 

Nice time. ditto on traction and mid 12s. keep us posted. have you changed the control arms etc? also how about tire pressure, did you have a chance to adjust that?

 

108 should go 12.7s or so with good traction. congrats on the times btw.. sorry I couldn't make the track, i ended up getting laid multiple times that night in multiple places, so I was a little busy.

 

rofl.

 

What gear and stall are you running?

 

yea what are you running for a gear and stall? becuase i have almost an identical setup to you..but haven't ran mine yet. Just finishing up a converter swap and I have 3.73's in mine. Do you guys think my setup has more potential than traviz? I'm curious to see what i'm gonna do. People were telling me low 13's, then some said mid-low 12's...I'm gonna have to get some sticky tires too it sounds like..

my mods are in the sig...

 

Im not sure about low low 12s with 108 mph. I know it can be done, but to run a 12.0-12.2 with 108 traps the cars going to need a 1.6 60' and have to weigh about 3100 lbs! Now mid 12s could happen at 108 mph no problem, and its definately something to aim for!

 

Yea 108 will definitely get you a 12.5 with a good 60'...hell I'm doing it with a 1.85

 

he has 3.42 and a B&M 2400 stall, but when he try's to stall it that high the tires will start to spin

 

105.8 will get you a 12.5 with a good 60'!

But my car most likely weighs less than the average thirdgen, which is why 108 would be good for similar times!

 

i just installed a B&M 2400 converter...how do you like it? i heard some bad reviews on it after I bought it. Is everything working out fine for you with it?

 

i was going to get a b&m torque converter but the guy who built my tranny talked me out of it and led to me to a custom converter for about the same price, so if he doesnt like it then its prolly not very good

 

I'd kill for that right now but I'm afraid of grenading the POS 10-bolt lol

 

what does your car weigh 25th?

 

I think those things only weigh like 2800.
Quite an advantage over a heavier 3rd gen.

 

thanks kairless for filling in for me, i been offline the last few days, my 60 foots are on avg 2.05ish

my 2400 stall is good i guess.. i cant stall it for a **** from a stop cuz my car creeps forward, i need better brakes and vacuum to hold them tires in place.

 

It does seem to be hit or miss with the 7.5 ten bolt, but if you have an automatic then your chances for its survival are alot better than if you have a manual.I get 1.62 60' times with mine and its the 26 spline.I'm thinking of putting in some frame connectors and going to 4.10's and see how long it will last in the low 1.5 range.

 

I'm still a little afraid lol. I have the PCM tuned with the line pressure bumped in the trans. It'll know your teeth out on the shift lol. Best time is a 12.84@109.6. It's driving me nuts because that trap speed is good for much lower times than that 12.84

 

My car weighs 3200 lbs, I wish it were 2800, but I dont feel like gutting it to go faster!

106 traps are usually good for 12.6-12.8 with a good 60', my car just has no top end charge, which explains the low mph on the slicks. There are other factors too (it usually traps well over 106).

 

sigh....

 

On a RWD car with traction... I figured ost would know that! Believe me I have been slow with high traps, gives you an idea of power!
