I'm just tryin to figure out why my can runs so good...


went to the 1/4 mile today and ran a best of

1.93 60'
8.58
@ 82.59

13.32
@ 103.29


Mods are listed in my sig.. K&N fipk and borla cat-back. Auto w/ 120k miles on it. Stock everything. Street tires..




Anyone got an idea other than it bein a "freak"

 

I think the timers were messed up!

Wow, that's incredible for a CAI & cat-back only automatic LT1 with that mileage! Your first time with it ever at the track or has it run similar ET's/MPH in the 1/4 before?

And is that still the original transmission with the stock torque converter? Ever rebuilt? Just curious...

Only hoping mine runs high 13's @ 100 come next spring with the mods in my sig...

Weather was in the 60's ...

Not my first time at the track.. been a few times before.. ran a few 13.4's and this was the one time it really hooked.. Tranny is the origional one, which scares me.. I just changed the fluid and filter yesterday prepairing for the track and it looked like the fluid had never been changed.

 

haha that would be an easy explanation but it was a NHRA track

 

I know of an LT1 Z28 running 12.9 @ 107 with a 1.86 60' and a D.A. of 3000'+.

It's a 6 spd with ~130k miles and full bolt-ons (including roller rockers) and aggressive tuning. ~3150 lbs. with ZR1s and Nittos.

 

Ok... that sucks.. You prob got that time mis-quoted cuz that ain't shat for full bolt ons.. headers.. and roller rockers also being tuned.


what's a d.a. of 3000 mean?

 

~500 pounds of weight reduction certainly helps.

 

Fastest I've ever heard of was a 93 TA 6spd I believe bone stock other then drag slicks ran 13.6

 

I ran a 13.5@103.5 with ram air and exhaust stock suspension, 160thermo.

 

Hey I live in Charleston, man I want to see your car, I havent taken mine up to Cooper River yet maybe we can meet up there one night...I think my 95 A4 is one of those factory freaks too...lol race yah!

 

Usually me and a group of friends go to Dorchester.. much better track than Cooper from everyone I've talked to. some websites - www.scfyb.com (Local f body club) and www.tractionlimitedracing.com (local all makes car club i'm in)

 

I do have some weight reduction, but not much. I took out the back seat and passanger seat for the times posted. Bumper supports still there.. ac.. all that still in the car.

and when i say street tires i mean BFG kdws's

 

That is a pretty sweet time. Congrats.
