1/4 mile results on 95 Formula... tried for 13's :(

1995 Firebird Formula, A4 LT1 V8 on worn Hoosier slicks

60 foot - 2.126
1/8 ET - 9.253
1/8 MPH - 78.00
1/4 ET - 14.235
1/4 MPH - 98.93

Was hoping to pull off a 13.999

Oh well at least I got a .535 R/T

Should I be able to get high 13's with this? Or is it just my 2.73's killing me?

your 60' is *ok*, can be better and then you will get a better et

but, what was temp at the track? whats the track's elevation?

my best was a 14.6 @97.99 mph, on a hot day at a track thats 3500ft above sea level

I'm not sure on the elevation, I've been trying to find that out.

It was a warm day but it wasn't hot.

Is your car stock? If you can get your 60' down in the 1.9's and get some cool air you should be able to get into the 13's.

sounds about right for a 273 car...put some 373's in there and you'll see your 13's easy...you'll wanna loose those sh!tty gears eventually anyway
