even with the weight of the car including yourself i'd expect atleast 103-105 mph. My 95 with stock long block and minimal bolt ons trapped 100 at full weight with 3.27 gears. I do believe you are off to a great start however, I also think you have some power left within the tune. PRACTICE is the best mod anybody can do, myself included! Also, what are you shifting at?

The guy said it is full weight vert and he weighs 300 lbs.

Weight kills performance.


He isnt beating it either...of course there is more left in it.

get some 3.55 and some tires...even just the 3.55 would be a big help getting all that weight moving

even with granny shifting it i'd still expect 103-105 and IMO that's expecting on the lower side of what it can potentially trap. I do agree some 3.55's would make for a nice all around gear and definately moving alittle easier.

You need traction.... BAD!!! a 2.4 60 foot is a terrible time. I forget who said it but 1 tenth off the 60 foot=2 off the ET time. I wouldn't doubt it either. My car on the g-tech ran a 15.5@93 and its bone stock with 3.73s and full exhaust, but it spun ALL the way through first, which didnt do anything to the trap speed, but does eat up alot of your 1/4 mile time. Get DRs or slicks and try it, you will be in the 13s for sure!

Man that's strange. My best pass was 14.7 stock w/ catback and h pipe. I had shitty 2.3 60's and it was kinda hot.... This is in a coupe though. Something doesn't seem right...

0*c is 32*F and 100*c is 212*F so its about 85?

Lol exactly :). At least Im not with some of the members here in Denver, the are 6000FT i believe above sea level, or a mile I believe. But elevation plays a huge role :). I'd love to go to like Florida or somewhere like that to drag, gain a couple tenths without doing anything :p.

Yeah like people are saying get some sticky tires and watch the times drop right off. From what I've seen with my car .1 on the 60' is huge at the end of the 1/4.
