My arse handed to me:(
 

Yea, those ss ls1's arent to shabby, i raced one tonight on street tires he was going 13.1's @ 106 all night, i cut some good 60's on m/t's and had em, but his a4 just pulled bye me, he's a cool guy though, i talked to him for a while, he has a lid and maf, i need some afr heads with an edelbrock intk, maybe a cam.

Ouch!!!! No shiznit! Those are fast. At least he doesnt sound like a complete a**hole. Most T/A and Camaro owners are like that.

;)

oh yea, well u know, anything that traps 105-107 dead stock has my respect, he may of had cuttouts also, he was kinda loud, but it sounded good, he spanked all the other mild modded t/a's out there too, i had a good run with one t/a that ran 13.8, i ran 13.7 (spunn tires, psi was at 30lbs) he trapped 103 though, started pulling up around 1000 ft.

the ss had an 8.4 1/8 @ 85 mph, he said 2nd gear pulls like a mofo.

porting my intake and adding TB, and edelbrock heads soon:)

Sounds like he has an aftermarket stall.

Sounds like your car is doing good on the sticky tires. What kind of 60foots are you getting?

Get some gears in there, that will really help you out!

sky my best 60 with these stickies is a 1.899, really not that good, and that was a high rpm launch, i didnt realize how bad i need gears until i got these tires on, im thinking now, since i drive the higway alot to work, maybe a 75 shot to get it off the line better, and keep these gears, but i know gears are the way to do it.

My cars suspension is terrible, on a hard launch my car pulls to the left hard, powershift to 2nd pulls it hard the other way? but i guess thats the name of the game, upper and lca's are on the list of things to get.

I would have expected a better launch on the stickies. Guess they were just too much for the car. I was hoping you'd have enough power to get it out of the hole. My estimates with slicks are obviously pretty optimistic since my gears are worse than yours by a long shot.

Sounds like you don't need much more to start cloing the gap on him though.

unit, i was actually spinning them to 2.0 60's with 20 psi, then when i go lower psi, the motor doesnt bog, but has a hard time accelerating.

they arent really overkill if i improved 3-4 tenths, im not disapointed, just thought a 1.7 was possible, i still need practice, and closing the gap would only consist of the edelbrock heads and a cobra intake, im getting a good deal on a cobra intake, with 24 injectors, and 75 maf, that should help me a bit, but i know im still gonna need longtubes to make any real good trap speeds, maybe some porting.

A 1.7 would have put you into the low 13's easy.

You know unit, sometimes combos work real good until you change something, i swear i had gobs of low end with my stock h-pipe? oh well.......

Yeah, I can feel my car needing more gear with what it has when I put slicks on.

3.08's just aren't going to cut it. I wouldnt expect better than a 1.8x 60' w/ those gears.

If you drive the freeway a lot go with 3.55's.

I have 3.73's and a SMALL 225/50/16 tire and its not bad on the freeway at all.

I had 3.08's, i put these 3.27's in, but with these tires, you have to have 3.73 0r steeper to get any decent short times.
