Getting into the 13's?

Killercanary · 08-26-2001, 05:13 PM

If you tell me your best previous MPH, then I can tell you if you have a shot at the 13's. Put it this way, without DR's or slicks, if your not running like 99mph or so, its not going to happen, unless you can pull a 1.9 60' out of your street tires, but 99% of people can not do this in a 5.0. I hit 13.83 at 98.55mph in my 95GT convertible, but that was with an edelbrock intake, 65mm T-body, full exhaust, pulleys, 13* timing, 3.73 gears, and Nitto dr's with 1.91 60's. Now with heads, cam, and a few other goodies I've jumped to a 12.92 at 106.85mph with a 1.85 60'.

P.S.- I have details on my website as to what each mod netted in the 1/4, from stcok till now. JFYI- An offroad X pipe, 3.73's, 13* timing and HD clutch took me from 15.2 at 90mph to 14.96 at 91.5mph.
