I finally ran my car yesterday at Great Lakes Dragway. My best run was 15.902 @ 87.38mph. Not bad for stock. My K&N intake comes on wed, and my Flowmaster exhaust comes on saturday. I was thinking of getting 2 spare donut tires, and put them on the front. is this a good idea or not? I am also going to take all the seats out to save some weight. I cant wait to see what she'll run then.

donuts are NOT safe, unless your track really sucks they wont pass them at inspection.
15.9 is what I ran stock 96 A4 w/ 3.08s full interior
Sounds like you're about right on for a stock 3.08 open rear car.
what 60' did you pull? Or just post up the whole timeslip. -
i think those mods, a little weight reduction, and a 3.42 LSD would serve you nicely [img]smile.gif[/img] ..donuts are not a good idea because they wont handle well and are not made to withstand speeds that high<b>12 SECOND DUAL STAGE DRY NITROUS POWERED 98 A4 V6 CAMARO<br /><a href=\"http://www.mysickcamaro.50megs.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.MySickCamaro.50megs.com</a><br />Best ET: 12.82@103<br />Best MPH: 104.7<br />Best 60\': 1.75 - Stock TC</b><br /> </font><blockquote><font size=\"1\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif\">quote:</font><hr /><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Originally posted by Shodown:<br /><strong>1DV6 runs 12\'s...enough said. </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Comment

Typical donut tires are speed rated at 55 mph?

Way to go!
I TRIED to take my car to the track this weekend too. On the way there though it started mis-firing like a mofo. Turns out ignition coil for cylinders 2 and 5 was fried. I was able to buy the replacement part, and get it fixed at the track.....just for it to start to rain :(

Take out rear seats, spare tire, jack, rear seatbelts and you should be able to run a little quicker. 15.9 for a stock 3.8l with 3.08 open rear end is about right. I ran anywhere from a 15.71 to a 16.14 with an average 2.41 60'New Toy Red 94 Formula LT1

Now that i think about it the donut tires is a bad idea.
I pulled a 2.433 '60
my goal is to be in high 14's by end of summer. Where can I get a 3.42lsd, and how hard is this to install?Comment

Where can you buy those gears?
Honestly, just get a complete V8 rear.
You would get:
V8 rear sway bar (19 mm vs 17 mm on v6)
LSD
3:23's or 3:42's
Rear disc brakes
I paid $250 for mine from an f body salvage yard.
If you buy gears brand new they are almost $200, LSD can range from cheapie $100 to good one $450.. then install.Race car - gone but not forgotten - 1997 firebird V6

I’m new. I actually don’t own a Camaro or firebird. I do have a 2000 Camaro 3.8 fly by throttle and 4l60e. This is installed in a 1980 Triumph TR7...2 weeks ago -
Not much going on, replaced my Kenwood double din stereo with a Pioneer double din, the Kenwood had problems. Then replaced my power inverter for my reverse...3 weeks ago
