Ok would you mind throwing out some numbers for me? How many tenths will each mod i named shave off a 1/4 time?

You can't just throw out numbers. It doesn't work like that, bench racing is very different from real racing.

Work on your launch, its the most important part of the run

What do you mean it doesnt work like that. When i spend 300 dollars on a mod i would hope it would cut a tenth or 2 off my time otherwise what use does the mod have. And yes the launch is very important thats why i figured the lsd would help me shave 3 tenths. I think my numbers are right on the money. If you scroll up and read what everyone does in the 1/4 compaired to their mods they come up with the same times i said. Im trying to break sh¡t down here not get criticized so if you see some numbers wrong correct them for me.

you cant go by mods. if that were the case shenanigans(eric) would be running 16s. his car was "stock"(free mods only) and ran low/mid 14s.

Work on your driving, you can easily shave off .5-1 second off your time.

First of all he does have mods. The only way to get a 14.4 without adding stuff to your engine is by removing stuff like intake, exaust, belt and weight.Reguardless of what you might think removing stuff from your car is modding it. Each thing your remove will shave tenths off your time. My car is a daily driver i need my intake,exaust,belt and bumbers and stuff so i have to add mods to my car to make it go faster. I add a mod i shave a tenth or 2, I add another mod I shave another tenth or 2, and that my friend is how it works. Why the hell would you add something to your car if its not going to make it go any faster (with the excepttion of supporting mods like spark plugs/wires, injectors suspension and such).

I think 16.5 is a very respectable time for a 100% stock car my first time on the track. It has been about 1 year sence i did that run and in that time i have developed a much better launch style but im still peg leg and could benifit from a LSD which in turn would shave tenths off my time.

Ace: yea eric has mods.. but when he ran the 14.4 he was stock.

[vanbibber]

erics car is daily driven ace.

[maxcamaro]

ace you have no idea what your talking about man

[Fbody3400]

Its bench racing. Your lucky your not getting flamed worse than this, imagine me saying "well i put an intake on the 3.4, so thats +12 cause thats what they advertised. Also put exhaust, thats another 15 or 20 hp. Hi flow cat should add about 8 hp, so now my 3.4 has 200 hp from Intake and exhaust." We need a thumbs down graemlin so i could say :thumbs down: to bench racing.

[Ace]

Oh my bad i didnt know his car was magical and was the only stock 3800 fbody to run low 14s.

Im not getting flammed more than this because they all know my numbers are not far off.

:rolleyes: yeah its magic. eric has no reason to lie to us. and IIRC has witnesses.

nobody has said anything about the numbers becuase there isnt any way other than comparing with other peoples mods and 1/4 mile times. that doesnt mean **** to me. just becuase you have the same mods does not mean you will run similar times. every car reacts different to mods. so all we can do is sit here and wait for you to go to the track and come back with times.
