what you guys think?

im wondering what i would run at the track now that my car is a manual.
My best with my auto was a 15.1 at 88 with very bad trans slipping. And ill be getting an aluminum driveshaft also
car mods...
pacesetter headers and y pipe
borla xr1 muffler
160 thermo
slp ram air intake /w whisper lid
275/40/17 street tires
5 speed spec stage 1 clutch
pro 5.0 short shifter
ebach springs
lca reloc brackets

so pretty much the only things that are different is the trans and the driveshaft.
Think that will be enough to get me into the 14s?

15.0-14.999

[98 3.8]

Re: what you guys think?

He's adding a DS, SPEC clutch, and short shifted manual transmission. I think he can hit the 14s if he can drive.

too many other factors than that to say anything faster than 14.9999

I think you will hit 14s... with it once you get driving it down...


powershift for quicker shifts
tranny is lighter
5-speeds generally put more power to the ground
better gearing


the shifts will be firmer and better, with a spec and 5-speed. If conditions are the same as the 15.1, I see 14.8s possible.


If you can use less smaller lighter wheels.
