  • what would I run?

    I have a 99 bird with the Y87 package...3.42 gears, LSD, but no mods yet. Within 2 weeks I will have a TSP Rumbler. What kind of times am I looking at on the 1/4 before and after the exhaust?

    Low 15's after a bit of practice. Maybe a 15.0 after the exhaust, don't expect it to make a HUGE difference.

      What is the cheapest way for me to break into the 14's after I get the exhaust and a little practice?

Get a good run, it's hard to say. I am Y87 with 3.42's and got a 15.6 with a passenger in the car. With some practice and a solo run maybe I can get 15.3, with intake and Alum DS maybe 14's MAYBE.

          Some people don't run low 15's with Y87, so give us a good run and we can tell you what you need for 14's.

          And when I say 14's, I mean high 14's.

            remove seats and spare and jack and anything else you can poss. find to remove let engine cool get there when the gates open so you have plenty of time for the engine to cool. if you just want to get a 14s timeslip remove drivebelt for 1st run only. this along with drag radials should get you a 14s timeslip but it wont run this time over and over again. also raise front tire pressure I run mine at 55psi

              I'm running 3.42's and an open diff and I ran 15.232 with a 2.175 60'. The cheapest way would be to get a good set of tires, FTRA, the exhaust system which will be install in a couple of weeks, and learn to launch the car.

                What is FTRA? I'm planning on going one day as early as I can so I can get some practice launching. Should I turn on TCS when I run? Without it I have a feeling my tires will just spin awhile, costing me precious time.
