Ran My Car

i finally ran my car..and i hit a 16.1.....my wheels spun..i didnt heat up the tires...and that is before my gears and my pulleys...is that good? and a 8.3 1/8? is that good also?

What year car/engine/tranny?

its a 94 camaro.....3.4......automatic...

Beats mine by almost 2 secs..........so I would have to say thats reallllly good.

What mods do you have?

8.3 in the 1/8???? :eek: :eek: :eek:
DAMN thats great for a 3.4L. I thought my 3.4L ran hard with a 10.7! And I have Borla and a five speed! Are you spraying or some sort of other power adder? That runs harder than some V8s! Hell my friends stock 95 TA only pulled a 9.0 in the 1/8 . You must have one hell of a built motor. But why did it fall off so hard up top? A 16.1 1/4 doesnt really match up to a 8.3 1/8. You should be pulling ATLEAST a low 14 1/4 with a 8.3 1/8. Id like to know your specs. What all do u have done to it?

That 1/8 has to be more like a 10.3. Definitely a misprint. BTW, what were your 1/8 and 1/4 trap speeds?

he was just asking if that 1/8 was good. he never said that is what he ran.
i would say thats pretty good for a 3.4. but you wont need to warm up your tires even after you get your pully and whatever else you get put on. you just need better traction if you are spinning, thats all.

Yeah thats what I was thinking, I just dont like calling :bs: on people and flaming them. Still a 10.3 is a really good time for a 3.4L. I want to know his mods....:confused:

16.1 on a 3.4:eek: Thats really good! What are your mods? That can almost beat my 16.0 sec 3.8...guess that means I need more mods:cool:

16.1, very impressive:D and your not that far away from mustangeater who runs a 15.6 or 15.7???? Anyways, good run and i'm awaiting those mods;)

if he's stock i'm gonna crap myself. I guess it's possible though.

Wasn't there someone on this board that ran a 16.1 in an auto 3.4 with just a k&n filter?

misprint..i meant to put....8.4 in the 0-60....and my mods? they are

Moroso Cold Air Induction
bored out throttle body
PaceSetter Headers
8MM Taylor Wires
NGK Plugs
TransGo Shift Kit
Spintech Dual Exhaust

appearence mods

SS Hood
SS Rims (eagle F1 17")
SS Wing
Aqua Green

and i know if i put the stall converter i want along with the gears and the underdrive pulley..i should be in the low 15's right? cus i dont want to heat my tired cus they are expensive...ill put the salad shooters on and heat them up nicely and run again...so am i on the right path? also....in March..i should be hitting early 13's.....in my TRANS AM I MEAN..gonna get me one in march tho..have to wait. i will get pictures in about 3 weeks. not that any of you want to see them.

would the injectors for sale in the classified section.....24# SVO or something...help me out? would they fit on my car?

no u dont need them.

I'd say your next mod should be a lsd along with some 3.42 gears. You'll get off the line alot faster then.

What tires are you running? If they're street tires and not drag radials don't "heat" them at all. Just give em a quick spin to clean the debris off. If you spin regular radials alot they just get greasy and your traction will actually be worse.

BTW, what were your 60 ft times?

actually my next mods are 3.73 gears and LSD..pulleys....i already have those 3 things at my house..need to put them. also.i ordered a 2800 stall....so we will see how that goes....i have an exhaust leak i need to fix as well..and i will put some worn out tires on the salad shooters and take it for a run or 2. ill be back with the results..probably on sunday....well when i run it on sunday..it will be most likely just running it again not with any of the mods i listed there....i need to save money to install them. which will probably be in 2 weeks..safe to say.

Don't use "worn out" tires. Its not gonna give ya the effect of a slick or anything:p. Just give your street tires a quick spin and you'll be ok.

sorry..didnt mean to put worn out tires..i mean to put my old tires...i still have my salad shooters with tires..and i meant to put them..not worn..i meant old :P
