I got a set of ET Streets a couple months ago, and haven't seen much improvement in my 60' times. I got one 1.995 60' my last time out...my best 60' on street tires was a 2.0x, and I got consistent 2.0's on street tires. I'm actually less consistent with the ET streets, I guess I need to practice more . I'm talkin everywhere from that one 1.995 to some 2.1's and I think even a 2.2 or two .

I know a high stall convertor would most likely drop those down to consistent 1.7's or 1.8's, but I'm eventually converting to a M6 and don't want to put any more money into my automatic tranny. Is anyone out there getting consistent sub-2.0 60' times with a stock convertor? (preferably with a similar power level to me). If so, how ya doin it?

 

Where's Joe (ramair95ta)? He has cut a 1.78 or so on completely stock motor w/ stock converter. No boost and no juice. I'm sure he'll jump in here.

 

Man I've seen that and I still have no idea how that's possible.. but oh well :P

Best I ever cut on stock converter was a 1.9 on Nitto's.. ET Streets on a stock converter car is probably bogging.

 

I average 1.67 with 17" drag radials using a stock converter and stock 3.23 gears.

 

What kinda 60' times were you getting when you were in the mid 13 second range? A good bit of your faster 60' is obviously because you're making alot more power...just curious what that translates to at my power level

 

I went to the track with BGF dr and I was getting under 2.0 a lot, I screwd some and got 2+ oh well.

I was getting 1.99 but good, I got one 1.95 and 1.97 I thoguht that was pretty good,

 

I;m running et streets now as well. I pull consistent 1.95-2.05 60 ft's. I think that's as good as its going to get with the stock stall in there.

Thinking about getting a slightly higher stall this winter.

1.81 60' on stock stall, on nittos with 3.73 gear. cold air and catback. 13.49@101.2....... in the wifes Z

 

1.86 with goodyear eagle f1 steel, 245/50/16, lowering springs, and mods in sig.. It was only once but oh well.

 

1.86 today on 26" et streets
1.88 on bfg drag radials

3.73's, as&m headers, corsa catback, relocation brackets

 

steve, what kind of rpm are you coming out at?

Bob

 

around 1000 rpm or flashing the converter where all pretty close

1.88 flashing
1.86 at 1000

 

the best 60' I've cut was a 2.05 on Kelly Charger tires(they suck), lakewood lower control arms, and !front swaybar.

Hopefully I'll pull a 1.9X or better after the eibach drag springs

 

Kurtis Tamez cut a 1.55 on his. stock motor and trans.

 

The higher stall might help a lot but I think you could get lower than that on et streets. i pulled 1.88ish with a bone stock 89 305 TPI w/ 2.73 gears. Try a little higher tire pressure.
