I know about the 1:2 rule, but I didn't want to say it. And I'll get to the plugs and wires, plugs for sure this week. Which ones do you guys recomend? I did good with the AC Delcos 41-919s on my GTP.
Again which track did you run@ and for plugs ACDELCO platinums(factory) or NGK platinums worked very well for me and they last longer than cheap ones,important when you consider how hard to do plugs and for wires i used MSD 8.5 which makes the factory looms useless.BTW i might try make it to the track near SURPRISE AZ. next Nov. w/my 99gtp.

I would recommend a good tune up. Plugs, wires and O2's. The 02's may correct your poor fuel economy. And get rid of that damn cat!!!!

Either go with another set of Delcos, or try out the NGK TR-55s. As for wires, either go with Delcos, Taylors, or MSDs.

It was at Firebird raceway. It has dual cats, maybe both need to be swapped out? No egg smell or anything though.

My bro used his LS1m scanner on my car but it wouldn't read KR. I did a WOT run and the a/f was at .895 towards the end of the run. Why wouldn't it read KR?

NGK TR55s for plugs, only place you will find them locally is AMP.

What tire pressure were you running?

I don't know what tire pressure was at. I assume 40 or so. A dude in a Viper let me borrow his gauge to check, but I've never used the type. Has a hose, KPA/PSI, 2 needles, a button. Retarded. I never had a problem with the pen style gauge. I figured he was rich and wanted to get the most expensive elaborate gauge imaginable.

Get real man, completely stock A-4's did not go 13.7 's. NO WAY!

Mine went 14.97 @ 93 when I discovered I had a failing fuel pump. When I fixed that it went about like Z-RATED's car - 14.30's at 95. It took a little work to crack into the 13's.

My best time was a 14.9 when I went the first time to the track

I ran a 16.3, 15.5, then a 14.9.

Is there any symptoms of a fuel pump thats going bad?

I'm lucky if I get 200 to a tank...

I remember it was hard to start when it was hot. Also, if I did get it running, it would hesitate when I gave it gas and occasionally, it would pop or backfire through the intake. The high fuel consumption is probably caused by a bad O2 sensor. To me, your car seems to be doing pretty well. Like you said in your original post, your 60's could be improved. Put some drag radials on it. I'll bet on a cool day, with a 45 minute cool down, you'll be in the 14.40's to 50's at 95+. Don't let some of the ridiculous posts and numbers get you down. You are about right where you should be.

What? Are you kidding?
Unless you live in the mountains something is wrong.
My LT1's in the order I owned/ran them
1994 auto 2:73 14.2@97
1995 m6 stock 13.9@99
1994 Z28 a4 stock 3:23 13.9@98

The difference in elevation is so minimal between Firebird and Speedworld that I would not worry about it. Your times are way off. I was able to go 14.3@98 bone stock with a 2.5 60' here. Put some new plugs and wires at the least. See how it goes from there. I recommend MSD wires and NGK TR55 plugs. The plugs are available at Carquest, AZ Power and Sound, or BAP. And yes, the exhaust hitting would cause false knock.

Nope, must just be a slow one. But Lloyd, Joe O, my friend Eddie, some of you guys and vendors, plus Speed Inc. solved the problem.
