I'm gonna go to the track in a few weeks, cause we have a test n' tune every saturday, to see how low i can go with the stock engine....besides my fart can
so far when i go i'll be running:

255/50/16 Mickey Thompson street radials on 16" wheels
traction control arms
TTR motor mount
TTR trans mounts
Exedy hypersingle stage3
B&M short throw
Stage2 axels
maybe some drag bags for the rear springs
remove rear seats
remove passenger seat
remove spair tire

what do you guys think i'll run?? I race looking in the official 1/4mile thread and people are running low 14's stock, so i'm hoping that maybe, just MAAAYBE, i can hit a 13sec pass with these mods.

and heres a picture of the M/T radials

 

Good luck! Definately get the drag bags.


Got any cooling?

 

except for ice on the blower between runs...no. stock engine remember

With drags and weight reduction you should be in the 13s. All that stuff you have listed, you better be mid 13's or lower.

 

People have cut 14.1, 14.2 on a completely stock car...drags should be good for at least a few tenths off that. Plus weight reduction, yeah, 13s are defintely a possibility. You may need to dump the clutch at a decent rpm to take advantage of that traction, though, but your drivetrain should be up to the task.

 

mid 13's?? really?

yeah i plan on having the WOT box w/ the launch control installed the next time i go. not this time though. that way i can lower my 60' time and shift at WOT

 

I think you'll run mid-high 13's.

 

mid-high 13's like they said haha

 

how about with the WOT box w/ the launch control? and a 50shot?

 

low 13's.

 

maybe i'll get meth, h/e, dual pass w/ option b and a good tune and i'll have a nice, reletively cheap AND reliable 12s car

 

I've seen quicker times with less....so you should be good for your goal.

 

what did the people have that you watched? and what did they run?

i want to see how low i can go without touching any engine parts

 

get it to trackkkk plz i really wanna see 13sec u have amazing mods

 

haha i haven't ordered anything yet. but i plan on spending about $2,500 by this weekend

 

stock cars + slicks = mid 13's all day
same car with 75 shot = low 13's

60's+2.7+full exhaust+slicks = low 13's all day
same car with a 50 shot = high 12's

built motor+slicks+125 shot=11.90's

You'd be surprised how much the driver factors into a quick time.

 

what would 650whp + traction mods be running then???

midnight bump

 

have u been to the track before? or is this the first time

 

i've made a few "easy" passes in my cousins 89' 5.0 but this will be my first time with the 'balt. and i don't expect to do anything spectacular on my first trip. but i'm just talking about what is possible with this particular setup

 

dont be shocked if your times are not what you expected....seeing as how it is your first time.

on the plus side, it is good to see your clutch is upgraded and axles, hopefully your tranny doesnt take a **** on your chest...

with those mods, and time to learn the track and how to lanch your car on drags, you can do 13's

best of luck bro.

 

yeah like i said i'm not looking to "go big" i just want to take things easy. but the trany should be good

 

morning bump

 

afternoon bump

 

bump for people who know what it takes to get there
