I run 14.02 with 2800 stall, 2.77 gears, prokit springs, adjustable tokico shocks, gutted airboxes, and headers/catback, but worn out street tires on my 350 TPI L98. Pan hard bar too. I hope to hit high 13's with new street tires but who knows! congrats! factory freak!

Good Job!
That seems to be the ticket, when my 87 was stock with only headers/flowmaster and timing advanced. 13.78 @ 98
But then you see so many at the track running 15s - hmmm.
Keep em looking good for us.

Believe what you want, As my sig shows, all i have is headers/k&n filters and a shiftkit.
I made this run in front of everyone that came to sacramento for the meet.
they all have seen my car and know what I have.
I have video tape and timeslips for proof.

yep, i witnessed the run and it was just about as good of a run that one could of done with that car. Just the right amount of traction, solid shifts at the right rpm, and cool temps made the run look as smooth as possible.

I was there in person too, Travis did run a 13.7, saw it with my own eyes. I have a picture of a later run when Travis did a 13.8, to prove it I will post it sometime soon. Can't wait to see some of the video. Travis, I think Dwayne has some video of your car also, along with Steve too.

back when my brother had my 88 gta, it whent 8.89 at 76 on slicks with a flowmaster muffler, air foil , no cat , and a homemade air intake. it wieghed 3515 with out driver. thats roughly a 13.89. it only made 229 hp and 330 tq. the slicks were very worn by the way and the car accualy pulled its best 60 foot on nitto 555r's.on a 65 shot(to the wheels) it ran 8.0's at 87mph. i tell you, nitrous is a tpi godsend!
