Re: 1/4 ET Guess

There are a lot of variables like what altitude your track is at .And what tires are you running on ..If stock then what gears.. Does your car have 2.73 gears or 3.23? Quick way to tell is do you have a 1 or not on your console plate. No 1 then 2.73s. At least pretty sure thats true. with 2.73 gears would think should still see some mid to maybe low 14s and with 3.23 maybe a low 14 high 13 but if you are at high altitude it could make these times much worse.

My vert ran 15.0 at local track at 1900 feet but mostly stock.With magnaflow and 3.42 gears got it down to 14.3 and vert is about three hundred pounds heavier than your car likely depending on driver. Buddies car with minor mods,no headers 94 z runs low 14s with 13.8 best with a 2.0 60ft on drag tires.Our track sucks for traction usually . I think you should be the guy money that you will be under 15s. You should win unless you are like in denver or something.

The dumbass kid at your school must be a ricer who thinks 15 is fast because that is what they are used to running for the most part. My 94 ran 13.99 bone stock with factory 3:23 gear. You should be mid 13 on a nice cool evening easy.

Re: 1/4 ET Guess

I am close to see level and i have the same intake you do but i only have mac mids and i ran a 13.5 at 102 mph. so you could run a 13.3 or 13.4 if your car is in good running order.
