The last time I went to the track the best time I could get was 14.39 at roughly 98 mph and I think this was on 7 cylinders with street radials.

On 3/22, I'm going again but have added Drag Radials, 4:10s, Crane Ignition, and have resolved the 7 cylinder issue by replacing a burnt out plug wire.

How much better should my times be. Below are the mods from the last trip to the track...

Man I would hope you can dip into the 13's with that setup!

DEEP into the 13's at worst.... Mid to high 12's with a good launch.

I'd say mid 13's @103.2 being a convertable with a roll bar and auto. One way to find out run it.
Post some times when you do.
Good luck

Well with your list of mods if your car was a 5spd coupe, you would be in the 12's.....Since your car is a conv, auto with a shift kit and converter...I think you should be running about mid 13's at around 103+mph...

I figure on adding about .4 tenths for an auto and .2 for the convertable top...

God luck...
Maybe I'll have my T5 built by then and we could race.. [Big Grin]

I was thinking the same thing (mid to low 13's) but it has been one disappointment after another.

Just when I add something new, something else happens and the good times go out the window.

Black94 50 - Cool come out to Sac on the 22 if you have it built and we can race...even though I'll probably loose. My name is Tony by the way. [Smile]

what kind of 60' times were you pulling?
 
Posted by twstd50 (Member # 1981) on :
 
my 60' times were in the 2.20 range. Hope the DRs and the 4:10s will drop me into the 1.9 range.

I'm pretty sure that's an easy 12 second combo, just get the launches down and a properly matching torque convertor.

edit: I have a similar combo but because of the 5-speed I can leave at 5k, that's a big advantage. If you could leave at 3500 or higher it would only help.

I agree with you... I think I need a higher stall converter. With my street radials, I was leaving the line at 1800rpms and was spinning like crazy.

The next time I have some money, I think I'm gonna invest in a 3000 stall converter.

good luck, hopefully we will see some 12 sec times being posted on here from you, and better 60's [burnout]

I'd say you'd hit 13's easy. Looks like a nice 5.0 setup [patriot]
