no i dont think that they do have the led lights. i am more than sure that i can get at least a 13.9XX, but i was stopped from runnig because of a tranny leak. i fixed it, went ALL the way back, about a 20-30 min. drive, just ta see every1 leaving and the lights off. i bet i've got 13.7's in it with DR's. just made a deal on some slp headers and y for 325. hopefully in the 13.5XX or so. damn i love the lt-1.

by bad $hawn, my 2.026 60ft was on my best E.T. run, however my best 60ft was on a 14.073 E.T. which was a 2.013 and plus i was running about 2 hrs b4 you ran, so maybe it was better track condition for me. but i think i am satisfied for the first runs i have made with this car. and whats up with my mph being so slow?? highest i got was a 96.036.

thats what I was wondering. You got a pretty decent time (14.0) but that trap speed is about 3-4 mph worse than what is average. Keep in mind that about 10 horsepower=1mph, so it looks like you might be down 30-40 HP. When is the last time the plugs and wires were replaced? Also, what rpm does it shift at? If I let my 93 shift by itself, it shifts at about 5500, which is way too low and costs me about 2 mph at the track. I manually shift myself at about 5800, and it seems to work great.

well i guess the wires havent been changed since i bought the car 2 1/2 yrs ago. and the guy i bought it from wasnt very good with cars. and the plugs were changed at 100,000. now has bout 25k on them. they are crappy autozone plugs so. what plugs wires would every1 suggest?? im thinking ??ngk?? plugs and 8.5mm wires. i will have slp shorties soon so i want them ta fit them.

cagle you need some new O2's on that car 125 k on the stockers has to be hurting performance i bet that original opti is hurting you too but i wouldn't change that until it goes out.
