this sound right?

I am looking at a 94 formula and it has the following stuff done to it
- 1LE intake elbow
- Pacesetter long tube headers
- 2.5" high flow cats
- Bullet mufflers w/ side exits
- GM LT4 Hotcam
- Custom cold air intake
- Manual fan switch
- Custom computer tune
- Brand new AC Delco optispark distributor
- New Autolite plug wires and AC Delco plugs

And he says it only ran a 14.1 at 102..
shouldnt it be running faster than that?

Re: this sound right?

That would depend on several things. Where was he when he ran this time? What kind of tires was he using? And is he a good driver?

Sounds a little slow, but it really depends on driver.. and what is it, and A4 or M6? With a stock A4, and bad driver, I can defenetly see that as reasonable.

Re: this sound right?

The e.t.s and the trap speed are low for the mods. done to it. I would maybe suspect a bad driver or some mechanical fault with the car.

Re: this sound right?

It's my car! The tires would not stick (poor track quality) and I had a burnt #7 plug wire...

My 60's were 2.4 secs

Re: this sound right?

i thought bad launch because the trap speed is pretty high compared to the 1/4 time.

Scott 5, if you do decide to buy the car, maybe make tires your first upgrade.
