first time to the track and im a lil sad

[FireFighter]

well the best I ran was a 16.044 with a 2.3 something 60' with a trap speed of 86. I have an auto with open 3.08 rear. Will the slp cai and gears bring me close to a 14? I might even go with 3.73's cause that 16 sec run sucks. Any help or pointers?

LSD and gears will help. That run sounds about right. I was right around those times with my 3.08's. I'm happy with my 3.42's and lsd. Huge difference.

I think with 3.42's w/ LSD and you'll be under 15.5's.

I don't remember seeing your car at the track Friday.

I saw someone in a 97 Green RS. He said he wasn't on here much but mainly on cz28 and fbody.com...

Dont complain man.. i have 3.42s, HPP3, Lid, 2.75 Catback, FRA and cutout and run a 15.8 at 85 mph..

[FireFighter]

no i was at the track sunday. How much would the 3.73's take off my time?

[1Bad89Coupe]

That's not too bad at all...

[whiteshark]

Thats really not bad for a car with your mods, infact it's pretty *gasp* average. I ran a 16.2 with similar mods except no full exhaust. good slips cost money, gears and cai will definitly help.

i went 15.4 on 3.08s/open diff all stock

At this point you're kinda pissing in the wind. I think there is alot more in the car with some practice. It actually takes some skill to drive well. Don't just throw parts at a car, you'll end up wasting alot of money. Think about what your personal goals are, and plan accordingly. First of all, do some basic maintainence. Change the plugs and wires, the fuel filter, put a clean airfilter in. That right there should help you pick up some MPH for under $50.

15.7@88 with open diff and stock.

[FireFighter]

the car only has 41,000 miles on it so nothing needs changing plus I have a K&N Filter. My R/T could be better but I really don't know what else. How are people running mid 15's stock? Does higher octane help? I will also no have all my fire gear or sub box in next time I run so maybe I will see a high 15. Thanks guys. Kepp posting.

[naptown]

WOW me and you have the same car practicaly I have 41,110 miles and have a intake, headers are installed but i dont have the car because its not finished

[SLOWBRAEATER]

with a 2.3 60 ft it sounds like your spinning, I have news for you, if you get 3.73 you will spin a he** of alot more, you will need a set of drag radials, Hawgs when you ran that run were you on drag radials or street tires?

[Dominic]

Practice in my M5 took me from a first ever run of 16.2 to a current best of 15.2 and consistant 15.3 and less.

You need cooling, you need gears, you need LSD, and you need PRACTICE. Just keep at it, and it will come. I recommend a fan switch if you dont already have one too [img]smile.gif[/img]

[FireFighter]

I probaly spun because I didn't want to do a burnout with my 18's. I had my 18's on and my firegear in the car ( I had no choice) When I raced, I am going next friday with no box, gear and my rear 16's on so hopefully a high 15. I thought a 2.3 60' was good for stock.
