I just ran a 16.6@84mph. I keep reading things saying how these car are 17 sec cars and but my first time racing I got a 16.6. I only have a gutted airbox and a catback system and a 700R4 trans. I think thats pretty good for being relatively stock

 

my friends 4th gen firebird pulled a 16.3 best ;x

 

i got a 16.94 @ 84.1 and a 9.1 0-60 on the gtech the other day after i replaced some sensors

 

Yea i got a 91 firebird 3.1 auto and i hear with the mods i got (same as yours) that ill only run a 17. Do u have t-tops??

 

That's quite impressive.
Muscle cars back in the post 1975 era were running that "fast!".
Your ET is very strong.
Others may debate or "say" but you got the proof.

 

just out of curiosity what was your 60ft time?
i ran a 10.8 last weekend with serious traction issues and running really lean on the 1/8th. i haven't gotten down to a 1/4 mile track to run but i should be running about the same if not a little faster. my 1/8th speed was like 65mph. i got the slips at home, but just don't have a digital camera to post them. maybe next paycheck after insurance is due!

 

On that run my 60' was a 2.268

 

man, that's a pretty good 60' time for a stock v6.

 

It's a decent 60, but you've got room to improve!

At those speeds .1 off your 60 should equate to around .2 off of your 1/4 ET. Do some suspension and maybe another power mod and you can get a quicker short time than a 2.2!

 

yea that is quick, no doubts, what do you got a auto?

 

lol. its just a v6. its not going to pull 1.9Xs on a stock motor! it'll probably never pull 2.1Xs on a stock motor.

 

yea that is actually quite good for our heavy cars

 

ha 18.2 over here.. but thats the stupid 2.8

 

i got a 2.8 and i am still running about the same times as the 3.1's. if you are running 18's there is something wrong there, the engine isn't running on all 6 or something. that is almost 1.2 seconds off of the normal time of the 6 cyl f bodies!

 

I think my tranny's slipping. Its running on all six btw its a pos

 

those 18s and the stereo stuff is helping get back to the 18 second range.

 

I had nothin in the car , no stereo, It was guted cause i was working on it

 

oh....i dunno then!

 

at wot it doesnt shift into 3rd So i ran the 1/4 in 1st and 2nd. But still. The car in 1st and 2nd is like a dog.. When i get high in first then it shifts into second it feels like someone just hooked 1000 lbs to my rear

 

i know alan, he got a serious tranny issue, and the tranny isslipping, the bands are seriously worn out and slipping along with prolly his stall convertor

 

yeah and when say i'm going the mph where its in between 3rd and o.d it doesnt know what to do sometimes. goes back and forth and woes. Also sometimes in 2nd-3rd. I dont want to ruin ur thread cause this is alittle off topic. Here's the slip

r/t-.254
60-2.585-street tires spun bad non-posi rear dont help
330-7.432
1/8-11.480
mph-61.37
1000-15.011
1/4-18.286 @ 64.66

 

personally i see where i would be pulling so bad on you, your 60ft time is about what i been running, and yes i been having traction issues too, i would pull almost .5 seconds on you by the 330 ft mark and pull another almost second on you to the 1/8th mile mark, after that i don't know cause i only been able to run 1/8th miles as of yet.
i do the 1/8th at 64.65,

 

poor lil six

 

try a tranny flush and change the filter. (i am assuming the 700r4 has one) make sure that you don't got any metal shavings in there!

 

yea, poor little 6, the mustang runs 120+ on the 1/8th(wiat that is a race prepped, blown, bottle fed, wheel standing beast!)

 

you can make almost anything pull a good 60! I'll bet with enough practice he can cut a 2.05 or so. He'll have to get more power if he wants to break into the sub 2's though. A converter will help greatly as well.

The 60 foot is the most important part of a race, as well as the hardest and easiest (in some aspects). Most every car with some suspension work a few power mods can pull a 2.1.

 

i don't think so man, am91camaro_rs is the fastest of all of us N/A 6's and the best he can do is a 2.05 even with all the mods i am doing, i doubt that i am gonna be able to get down lower than about 1.85 and that is really pushing it th even thing that i may be able to get down that low!

 

did you run the car at leister dustyjl? i live in dansville and go to leister quite often in the summer. best i could ever get out of my 87 bird with the 2.8 was a 16.7 or 16.8

 

yeah, anywhere even into the 2.1Xs is kind of tough to do with one of these cars! weight transfer is all that you could ask for on my car. so, spinning isn't any issue. the tranny does have some issues but hopefully i can get that fixed before too much longer. i'm not sure if its having any problems when i launch or not though...doesn't really act like it. the car does need tuned, bad! well, computer, not motor. but, like 87blue said....i've only gotten a 2.05 60'.

 

I ran at New York International. I think its in Dansville. I live up in Fairport so its about an hour drive for me
