ok guys i have been going to the trackk for like 3 weeks.. my times have been great but i kno my 60ft's can be better... i get consistant 2.1's on et street radials at 20psi with a good burnout.... i am stalling it to 1500rpms then punching it.... what can i do to get 1.9's-1.8's???? i kno its possible.... i need help...wat mods can i do? wat can i do personally with my driving?

 

Are you spinning?

 

not really...right off the line it feels like they spin a little like a "Chirp" but im not like spinning thru 1st gear or anything...

 

If you're not spinning then the only thing that will make it quicker in the 60' is more power to the wheels. You could do this by going to a higher stall aftermarket torque converter.

 

yea this winter... CPT tranny rebuild and a brand new 3200 stall is gonna be installed

 

What brand stall converter are you going with? I good converter can improve your 1/4 by five tenths (.5) as-well-as the 60ft.

Be aware that with 94 & 95 cars a problem can occur with stalls over 3000 rpm.

 

why? even with the tranny rebuilt by CPT?

i was unaware of that....

thx

Its an OBD 1 computer issue. Most tuners can get around it.

 

Yep it has nothing to do wiht the trans. With the OBD1 computer and a stall that actually stalls to more than 3000 rpm the computer sees this as a bad trans/converter and puts the car into limp home mode. And it seems that sometimes it's easily tuned out and others have a heck of a time getting it to not happen on a case by case basis.

 

The shop that swapped out my converter to the 3600 Yank had Ion stop by and check the car out on the dyno. No stall wall here. The car does do a funky 1-2 shift though if it spins off the line instead of a dead hook. Always has, even with the 2800 Vig. Good thing the MT street radials are such an awesome tire. Problem solved.

 

I also run ET Streets. Drop your tires to 15-16psi you should hook up better then 2.1.

even on a near stock LT1?

 

Do you run ET street radials? Or ET streets? They are 2 completely different tires and ET streets like about 15.5-16 PSI warm on an average weight f-body. ET street radials should like closer to 20-22. I run Hoosiers new drag radial and I dead hook 1.47 to 1.49 60's at 21 PSI hot.

 

yea i was running my et street radials at 20psi i was hooking but i thought i could feel a tiny bit of wheel spin or a chirp right off the line.....i aqlways thought a near stock LT1 could 60ft in the 1.9 range with good DR's
