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?

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?RedLineVSix <br />95 Patriot Red Trans Am, M6, 3.42\'s,no rear tires<br />(SOLD!)97 Silver Camaro 3.8 Liter A4 3.42 + LSD, 1pc DS, and one messed up speedo :) -

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

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.Comment

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 ****)

My run was:
60' 2.3282

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?1995 black firebird,t-tops,3.4L M5 Comp cam,gutted cat,Cold Air,80 series flowmaster,limited slip rear end with 3.42 gear, Hurst Billet Plus, 17\" American Racin Torq Thrust IIComment

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.1995 black firebird,t-tops,3.4L M5 Comp cam,gutted cat,Cold Air,80 series flowmaster,limited slip rear end with 3.42 gear, Hurst Billet Plus, 17\" American Racin Torq Thrust IIComment
