60 foot = 1.874
1/8 = 8.749
mhp = 77.48

1/4 = 13.757
mph = 98.87

 

congrats

 

Nice new time. What tires were you using for that 60ft?

 

Great job, those are very nice times for an internally stock L98! Congrats!

 

 

Nice time!


You do anything different to the motor to achieve that better time? Or did you just get better traction?

 

Painted/machined 17x9.5 firehawk style rims with 275/40ZR17 BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW tires

same everything.

just gripped, hit a 13.8 also


it stil has more in it. i want to be able to just stall it all the way and then wot in D and it takes it all. trying to consistent mid 13s first at 100mph maybe.

 

Nice run! I wish our track was open.

 

Damn man, thats a killer time for your setup. I cant wait to get mine ready with my new work done.

 

congrats man!! good job, i can't wait to be ready for the track i keep seeing people posting new times lately and damn i'm anxious

 

I hear that, I'm shooting for the EFI shootout on April 3rd at E-Town and then the HPP Pontiac show and go on the 10th - I just hope the weather is good

awesome times and that is a great 60 foot for street tires.

 

bout time you hit 13s

 

Great times. I'm still working on hitting 14s. Nice car BTW.

 

yeah thx, i have no clue what to do with my new found tax returns

 

Well, you can give it to me....

or get a looser torque converter and stickier tires...hello mid 13's!

I'm curious to see how quick you'll get with just bolt ons, without even removing a valve cover.

 

Dang nice 60 foot and that was on streets? The fastest I could ever do was 2.0 and that was with the auto 700R4 on crappy 255 15's. I could only get a 2.1 best with my new T-5 on streets without roasting the tires. Did you have a lot of wheel spin, or just a little then it took off, or none?

 

These three cheap mods should get you roughly a 13.2-13.3. Holley APFR, Cold Air Induction, ported plenum.

 

i eased into it like i always do and it was taking it alot better than my other runs, so i kinda "felt" the traction and it just hooked.

yeah street radials, its mostly due to them just putting down traction compound, my usual 60 foot are 1.9's / 2.0's spinning some.

yeah i am just going to not do anything to the engine other than boltons and see what happens.

not even going to touch the tpi either

 

I didn't think traction compound was benificial to street tires.

 

hey well it did something never felt that hooked up before.

did a burnout for a few seconds saw smoke had the pressure at 25 psi and bam.

 

Why not?

 

Very nice times, congrat on the 13s!

 

Great Time! I love to see 1991 Formulas go fast

 

i have a bit to go for 11s

 

awesome Jim! i knew your car had it in it

 

yup

 

Nice!

I ran in the 13.50's on a perfect launch, perfect conditions and a ice-cold plenum and intake. Im more consistantly in the 13.70's and 13.80's. My car is more consistant on the bottle.
I got a stock internal motor also. I bet these cars are capable of high 12's if the chassis is set up perfect and weight reduction. skinny tires up front might help.
I have my fans on a manual switch, so i got rid of the air-dam that hangs down on the radiator. This areodynamic tip gave me .1 second better in the 1/4...
it does run 10 degrees warmer than before... about 185 now..
