Tyler, that was pretty funny when the guy was getting pissed caused you got in my car and left lol Forgive my ignorance here, but you must be modded like HELL to be hoping for 13's out of a V6 firebird N/A. If it was me I'd be happy with 14's, Don't they run high 15's stock ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam1647545489 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 who would have thought Sam went the fastest all day.lol TEHEHEHE 9.7@140 isnt to bad, been better, clutch is getting replaced tomorrow. Erik I think the clutch was slippin all day seeing I was 5 mph down on a usual run. It will usually trap 145 or so and go 9.50's. Oh well still had fun and I am glad you like the addition to the 7 we put on friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam1647545489 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 the red notch went 9.89, i went 10.20 and some one went 9.80's or something on direct drive r-1. I did get a new best of 10.42, with passenger. Big thanks to sam for sweeping up rubber and guiding me in the water box. Anything I can do to help Josh, I wanted to see a 9.9 run out of your car. But it still was running decent for the track prep. Thanks again to you for the ride, that was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was me I'd be happy with 14's, Don't they run high 15's stock ? it is modded, but not as well as one might think. it has mild ported heads with stock valves, a mild cam, full exaust, 3.73 gears and a 3500 stall. and yea, mine ran 15.8 stock. 14's arent bad, but it still has more left in it. the headers i have on the car now cant flow enough for stock car past 5100 rpm, let alone mine (plus mine doesnt shift until 6K). I have bigger fuel injectors for it cause a few guys i know that are running the same cam i am (with stock heads) are maxing out their injectors. Ive also been told by a few people that the slicks im using on it are hurting me cause they are to small and its hurting my shift points and such (tuned for 26 inch tall tire and slicks are 24.6 inch). This car should be at LEAST at mid 13 car by time i get all that corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboRust Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Ive also been told by a few people that the slicks im using on it are hurting me cause they are to small and its hurting my shift points and such (tuned for 26 inch tall tire and slicks are 24.6 inch). not sure about the shift points, but the short tire does essentially raise your final drive ratio.. however a 225-50 has so little sidewall and so little contact pacth that its got to be hurting you. you've already got the rims, step up to a 255-50-16 and you'll see way reduced 60' times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
