stock lt1 went to 1/4 mile track

well guys i got my car to the track. it is a 96 TA M6 and the only mods are a air foil K&N filter and magnaflow muffler and a 3" cut out under the passenger seat. my question is how my times stack up against other cars and if the times are good or below average. i was on all season radials with 35psi air in the front and rear.

my best time was a 13.84 at 103
second best was a 13.90 at 102
since it was a bracket event what i feel my best pass before i got on the brakes to keep from breaking out was a 14.0 at 91 cause i was on the brakes with a 8.9 1/8 mile
and then first pass 14.1 at 101

all 60' are in the 2.12 range

if you need more info from the slips just ask. like the decimal numbers or 1/8 mile or 1000 foot

thanks in advance

I think there about right for your set-up. I'm sure it's not easy getting the car off the line with a M6 and street tires. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think his mph looks pretty damn good.

Very good. Car must be soundly maintained. You've got yourself a strong runner.

Sounds like a perfectly correct running car.

No, that is a damn good mph... what gear ratio do you have in there? Im trapping at about that now with my mods, but a 2.73 gear... haha

the gears are stock to the TA. so i guess that is a 3.42? sorry but this is my first f-body have been a stang guy for years so not quite up to specs on these things. i also noticed my posi was not 100 percent. can they be rebuilt or do you just have to buy a new one?

yea launching on street tires was tricky. i was so scared to spin that almost every run it bogged cause i was leaving off idle to 1200 rpms. the hydrolic clutch will take some getting used to because there is no feedback from the clutch fork to the pedal.

Those times are about average for your mods. Trap speeds are really good. I am trapping at 102 with all my mods but I am running a 13.4x and pulling 1.9x on Nittos and 2.0x on street tires

If you can't break into the 12's with a hotcam, then yes.. something is certainly wrong... what's the MPH?
