Re: Not thrilled about 1/4 mile time...

What do i have to do to make the car do the last 1/8 mile faster? cam, heads, forced induction?

my friend has a 95 z28 m6 that runs 13.9 but he pulls from me at a roll... I want my car to pull harder...

1/4 mile ET seems accurate to me too.

Re: Not thrilled about 1/4 mile time...

Were these runs done on street tires? If so, a pair of DRs and weight reduction would have helped out as well. Nonetheless, still good times for your current mods.

Re: Not thrilled about 1/4 mile time...

1.9 60' on street tires is pretty good, imo. I hope i can pull that this weekend!

Re: Not thrilled about 1/4 mile time...

if u are looking for more power up top ( or anywhere) the next step is a cam (or H/C). but u will love the feeling of a converter out of the hole.
