1st runs at track

[FASTEDDIE Z]

I finally went to Atco tonight . I guess its about average .
My 2:73 gears are killing me

My best run was a 13.4 @104.3 mph
60 ft - 2.04
330 - 5.79
1/8 - 8.80 @82.2mph
1000 - 11.35
1/4 -13.49 @104.3

I got to beat up a turbo civic wee-tech and a old CRX with a turbo ( this one suprised me )
The only problem is Im shifting into drive (3rd gear ) at the 1300 ft mark .
My best was tapping the limiter going through the traps in 2nd gear .
YES ,2nd GEAR My average speed was 104 -106 mph
I had 6 runs in an hour . My worst runs were in "drive" ( 13.60's )My best were my shifting myself (13.40 -50's ). 1/2 tank of gas ,engine @210 degrees at the B.O. box .Flat punch at 1100rpm on the converter on 245 50 16 Goodyear eagle gt tires . No traction problems at all . Im hoping the 3:73's and a good tune will put my in the 12's . Then its converter time

3.73s + converter=traction issues. Better look into some DR's. What mods are done to the car?

Only a Magnaflow C/B ,SLP lid and a k&N so far. Trying to get a baseline time . Then do step by step mods . The 3:73's ,p & p throttle body ,! EGR ,!air ,Msd wires ,NGK tr55 plugs (has the original plugs - 95k on them ),180 * thermastat and a tune will be in the next week or 2 . Then the converter and drag radials ,then headers , then cam and intake in the spring Suspension is in there too ( somewhere )

Thats not bad. My best with my 3.23 car was 13.25 your mods.
When I went 12.50's after my Yank SS3600 and tune.

X3 on the DR's. They are an absolute must after the stall, unless you like spinning the tires at a 50 mph roll.

You picked up 7 tenths with just a converter and a tune ? Nice !!

Looks good for a 273 car...you shouldnt have any problems hitting 12's now.
