Mods:
QA1 14 way rear shocks
3.5 inch aluminum d/s
SLP loudmouth cat back
Hotchkis pan hard rod
Stock air box removed for conical k&n air filter

FYI:
2 out of 4 O2 sensors crapped out per OBD2 scanner - they are pegged in the rich area

DA was 2450
It was DAMN HOT!!!!! 90's plus????

It was too damn hot to get good ET's.... plus it is first time with the car.... I also need to change the O2 sensors because the car runs pig rich. I'll take it back to the track once the temp's are MUCH cooler and the O2 sensors are changed

Last run was the eliminations in the vent - there was a very long bit of down time from run #4 and #5 and the car was sitting at 165 at the beginning of run #5 - all other runs the temp was siting at 210. I dialed in at 14.60 - wizzed passed the other guy.... let off and still broke out. I figure if I kept in it that was a 14.3



I went to one of those online D/A calculators and it figures density dltitude and corrects ET and Trap Speed for sea level.... corrected it came out to 14.0 at 100.37. Soooooooo, once things get cooler and I finish the tune up.... we are shooting for 13's!

[GP99GT]

gotta figure out how to get that thing off the line too

[BonzoHansen]

Man, I bet gears would light your car up more then anything.

[GP99GT]

yeah... 4.10 that sombitch

[12secondv6]

4:10's = no go...... maximum of 3:73's..... this is a daily driver.

[BonzoHansen]

3.73 would really wake it up. A lot.

[GP99GT]

fine, fine....3.73s. do it now. and fix those O2s noob

[Batman]

Yeah get the O2's done, that will probably net you .2. A set of gears ahnd some stickier tires and you'll hit 13.6's all day long

[12secondv6]

I don't expect to be putting drag radials on this car.

I will maximize the suspension to its fullest..... but still stick with a true street tire.

I expect to just sneak into the 13's by the end of the season.... I'll get the O2 sensors done, torque arm, poly mount, poly tranny mount, QA1's for the front, LCA's.... and any fun car toys my wife will buy me for my b day/ xmas

3:73's would be very nice though.... one day

[NLinnear]

There used to be this V6 fbody that was faster that you. I wonder what ever happened to that car. That would have been a good race...
