what is the 1/4 mile times of a totaly stock v6? i just wanted to know.

 

low 16's to mid 16's I would say. Shouldn't be any higher with a good driver. My 3.1L has hung with some high 15's (talking like 15.9's but still high 15's)

 

what about a carburated v6, mine is carburated, its not stock but i was wondering how fast it was when it was stock.oh its an 84.are we talking 17's or is that to fast?

 

Woah, carb! ehhhh, I dunno man. I heard some bad things about them. I would GUESS high 17's . But I could always be wrong.

 

the 2.8 fulie should go around 17.5 and the fulie 3.1 around 17.2 stock. The carbed 2.8's probably 18's or 19's.

 

that slow huh.oh well i was hoping it was a little faster.

 

My totally stock TTA went 13.55 @103.

 

gotta love those TTA's

 

3.1 Firebird knows what he's talking about. No stock 2.8/3.1 could dream of 16 flat. Try 17.6 @ 82 MPH...that's what Motor Trend got in '87 with a 5 speed RS.

Carbed 2.8s were indeed in the 18s somewhere....

i have an 87 mpfi 2.8 and it runs 19's at 60mph what do you guys think is wrong with my car? help me please.

 

*****,

I could name or list at least 10 things to look for as to why your car is running so slow but where to start? You first must consider that asuming your car is in top shape having a complete and recent tune-up, is the problem caused by track/weather/pilot conditions or something mechanical? If it's completely stock, it's up to these 4 elements to influence the times you'll get.

How did you come off the line? Are you running a brake or just mashing the peddle? Was the weather hot? Are you spinning the tires too much? Are you shifting or letting the trans do it?

 

OK, I forget again. If stock is 17.6 @82 and I'm hitting 17.2 @ 77....do I have more torque or HP than stock or what???

 

Ovrclck - What mods have you done out of curiosity?
I have a nicely running engine (rebuilt 2.8), flowmaster exhaust, K&N, decent tires and lotsa decals (haha). Any chance I can make it under 17? Thanks.

Let me see..if my understanding was right...torque is the force that propels you, HP is the force that lets u get up to the peak torque (is that right?) so you would have more torque, and HP.. a couple of f-body friends i talk 2 say they wouldnt be surprised if i have 200-210 tq because of how fast i accelerate

hey graeme, what was your best ET so far???

 

I had a STOCK (and I mean it in every aspect of the car) 1984 Camaro sport coupe that had the carb'd 2.8L V6, 700R4 and 3.23 gears. Ran a 17.78@81mph quarter mile.

Just so you guys have a reference number.

 

If were me i'd go buy a g-tech pro for 139.95 that will give a 1/4 mile time.

Well, here's my mod list below. I can get into the 16's...but i made a stupid mistake I won't go into at the track. The BEST I've Gteched is a 16.4, but mainly most were 16.6-16.8's.

Forgive my stupidity but what is a TTA Camaro?????

 

You're confused. The TTA is a Turbo Trans Am, not a Camaro...It is IMO the BEST F-body made. Hell, only the 2001 Firehawk's are faster stock.

 

I have a '84 Chevy 2.8L Carb with 700r4 in an S-10, I've timed it at "16.1". That's with the emission/ A.I.R. system remove, with FlowMaster 40 series, straight pipe,rebulit distributor and K&N filter!

 

Uh this thread is 10 years old... Damn I was only 9 when this thread was made. LOL

 

holly hell with the old thread resurections, please check the dates before u reply.

this thread was started in 2001 it also died in 2001 until u brought it back.


also i highly doubt u go 16.1 with a carbed 2.8 most stock 2.8 mpfi cars will run 17's

 

I was wondering why i didn't recognise any of the peoples names up towards the top XD

 

yea this thread is old... but whoever wrote that a stock 3.1L rs would run low 16s is crazy mine ran 17.3's and that was when this thread started and my car only had 33k on it... now it has 104k. and a few mods and runs 16.6s' constantly...

 

There must be something wrong with the way the forum's set up. When I do a search I rarely see anything older than 5yrs. Now all of a sudden everyone's going for a walk through cemetaries.

 

Eh screw it, I'll bring it back, AGAIN! My 83 2.8 would be lucky to do a 1/4 mile in 25 seconds... its a total D.O.G., but it hasn't exactly been taken care of either.. mine is a piece of junk.. for now..
