how do I get to the 13s

Re: how do I get to the 13s

13 sec slip:

CAI
Headers
Cutout
Minor weight reduction (~150 lbs)
Abbott's N/A cam and supporting valvtrain mods
3500 torque converter
4.10 gears
LSD
LCA's
PHB
Aluminum DS
Bilstien rear shocks
Drag radial tires
Mild tune


You should hit mid-high 13's on a cool night.

Or....instead of a cam/valvetrain and the torque converter, you could substiture a 75-100 shot of nitrous and you'll see 13's too.

BTW, wishingmachine, quit bench racing without experience of actually racing. You are not helping the OP.

I completely agree with this formula for 13's in a V6...except for the part about the PHB and aftermarket shocks; those may not be completely necessary...but everything else sure is. Plenty of people have gone on into the 13s with this list of parts, and are making far less than 310 crank HP :rolleyes:
If the car is a manual, then just put "driver-mod" in place of the torque converter, and you'll be in mid-13s all night long.

Get some drag radial tires and aftermarket LCA's, and you should get 13's with some practice :)


Dont worry too much about altitude and humidity if you are using nitrous ;)

Re: how do I get to the 13s

the lcas are defiantely on the drawing board and the relocateing brackets since i am lowered. and i am doing a 15.7 at 86 with out spray. reation time is a .5.

Re: how do I get to the 13s

reaction means nothing. the 60 foot time is the most important part. if your 60's are say... 2.3 and youre running 15.6, cutting .3 off the 60' will put you in the low 15s no problem.

ive always gone by every .1 off your 60' translates to .15-.2 off your et.

I KNOW THAT! it was just a way to put it...u get 310 or more hp out of a firebird/camaro ull be in the 13's...like i said slowdown, screw you

my 60' are actually 2.3-2.4 consistantly. How do i lower that, is that traction issues, or low end hp. I have only been raicing something like 4-5 times now, so still kinda new to it.

Stickier tires and practice. Low-end HP has nothing to do with it...once i got in the groove of racing, I could consistantly cut faster 60's than LS1 cars, with mine and their cars being on street tires.

It's the wrong way to put it. If you're making 310 hp in a V6, you'll be in the 12's, unless you can't drive.

Re: how do I get to the 13s

96greenmachine definately gives bad advice, i would have to agree.

david8399: get that nitrous running right, a good tune, and some DR's and youll hit 13s easily.

Obviously not.

ya i kinda figured given your mods the 60's where not as good as they could be. practice makes perfect. just learn what you car likes as far as tire psi and launch rpms and you'll see improvements in no time.
