Dissapointed

[Fear_Factor]

After all the mods i did to my car i only ran a 16.6 :( . i was almost sure i would run something at least in the 15's. do you guys think with the stuff i have done that i should be in the 15's, if so what could be wrong?

[raxxus]

Man, don't get disappointed! I ran a flat 16 the other day, And I have a 3.8 with 3.42's and lsd and minor mods! Of course my pcm isn't programmed, but I had bad traction and stuff. Try again some other time, did you post your whole times list? Maybe you just aren't getting a good enough of a launch?

[Fear_Factor]

No, i was getting good launches. i had minimal spin. my local track just got resurfaced, so its pretty nice now.

[Fear_Factor]

What is a decent 60' time?

[raxxus]

anywhere from 2.3/2.2's on down. what were you getting?

[Fear_Factor]

my 60' time was a 2.382

[mr_man]

You shifting good [img]tongue.gif[/img] ? i definately think you should be faster than that.

that's 1 of your problems. @ least, get it down below 2.30. another is your 17" rims.

[Tiago]

I really don't think its that bad considering what you have.

[SLOWBRAEATER]

those 17s are hurting your times

Well, we need more info
Track conditions (weather etc)
What did you do at the track for preparing? (sit there w/ the car idling, tire psi and so on)
First time out w/ this car (experience)?
MPH?

1995 black firebird 3.4L M5
Comp cam &lt;--- what kind?
gutted cat &lt;--- gutted stock?
homade ram air &lt;--- I tried this, slp is better
how is your home made kit done?
80 series flowmaster &lt;--- muffler or cat back?
K&N filter &lt;--- drop in? conical?
limited slip rear end with 3.42 gear &lt;--- ok

Hurst Billet Plus &lt;--- does nothing

17" American Racin Torq Thrust II &lt;--- are they heavy?
Bridgestone Potenza 730 245/45/zr17


going to track soon to get times [img]smile.gif[/img] &lt;--- my guess is not much track experience huh?

I'm just trying to get feedback

[WickEdSix9838]

YOur 60's can be improved

I hit 2.0 flats, I have a 5-speed, and 3.42s with LSD.

I also have a 1le tranny mount and a 21mm rear sway, those might help my 60's over what you have. I also have a poly torque arm bushing but it didn't really do wonders for my 60's

You shoudl be able to get it down to at least 2.1, they say .2 in the 1/4 for every .1 in the 60'

Can you post your entire run, I would really like to compare it against some of my runs since you have a 3.4L, 5-speed and 3.42s.

Comp cam :206/212
gutted cat : i gutted it
ram air or cold air is a dryer vent from aor box to infront of air damn (took out extra plastic ****)
80 series flowmaster : muffler
K&N filter : drop in

My run was:
60' 2.3282

1/8 10.651
Mph 65.06
1000 13.891
1/4 16.635
Mph 81.72

It was about sunset and a little cool. i think i launched about 2700 rpm's. i have been to the track before and im pretty good on a stick. i was speed shifting when i ran and i shift about 5500. although do u guys think i should have to hit 4th or continue to run 3rd out? i hit 4th on this run. and also how bad do u think the 17's hurt my time?

[Fear_Factor]

in the lanes i put my hood up and tried to keep it off. my psi was about 22 lbs. and i have been driving my car for almost a year. although my car was a recoverd theft, so i dont know what kind of condition the clutch is in, but it doesnt seem to slip any.
