taking guestimates......

[fbirdgt01]

so i ran a 15.29 @ 91 MPH with a blah 2.24 60' can't remember the humidity but it was in May bone stock, with a k&n, full weight, 25 psi rear, 36 up front.

I will be taking the back seats out, spare tire and jack, also raised the air box and took out the air silencer can i expect a 15.1???

Might be close, although I'd guess in identical conditions taking those out might take off a tenth.

15.324 is my guess. Depends on track conditions.
Remember to remove your air filter.

You're joking, right? - Running a car without an air filter can cause serious damage.

(Not trying to be mean or anything, just an FYI. I don't think it'd be worth the little bit of hp gain you'd get.)

Removing that amount of weight from the @ss end may make you spin :(

You could, in theory, run slower. Trut me, I've been there and done it :(

yeah that's what i was thinking james... guess the only weight mod i can do is my big @ss....LOL

The weather conditions. Heat, humidity, pressure. It is a little hotter than it was back in May

[fbirdgt01]

well i'm talking about late september.. and believe me... i'm not racing if the DA is ridiculous... i will NOT do that to my car. especially since i don't have any thing but stock intake

[hawgs]

Is this a top fuel dragster or a intake/exhaust V6 Firebird? ;)

Just go race and have fun; you're thinking way too much about it for a low 15 or high 14 second pass. I'd understand if you were going out to break records... but just go and have fun and see what happens. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Don't be taking out the filter unless you're at 14.000 and want to hit 13s. Too much risk for nothing really. Do real mods first.

[John_D.]

A 15.19? Then you're talking about a tenth of a second off. A 15.10, then you're talking about two tenths.

It takes about 100 lbs of weight reduction for one tenth. Or about 8-10 hp.

Doesn't sound like you're taking 100 lbs off, and I wouldn't expect the silencer removal to be 10 hp. Between the weight reduction, and the intake mods combined, you might see a full tenth.

2.24 60's is all I could manage on street tires with my 3.42's and lsd. When running NA anyway.

[fbirdgt01]

i am NOT taking the filter off.... lol i would never do that. I'm a girl, but i'm not dumb i went 15.29 was thinking with better tires, and my upgraded rear which is posi, with the weight mods, and air flow mods... (also intake might be in the works) i may be able to see 15.20's or 15.1's dunno. have to race and see.. was just looking for people who've been there done that.

i dont have too much experience on the track...but i have experimented with taking out the jack/spare and the rear seats...it didnt really make a difference that i could notice...so i leave them in now and am putting the seats back in too...you'll probably run about the same...maybe a little faster...i dunno about .1 of a difference though...but obviously our cars arent exactly the same so...give it a shot...see what it does for you..and go from there
