Last night I got off early so I decided to make a few runs down the drag strip. Previously my quickest ET was a 15.454 @ 88.97 MPH with a 2.18x 60' time. This was last fall in very cold air and very low humidity. My car then a a new tune up, less than 1/8 tank of fuel, and absolutely nothing in my car including the rear seats.

Last night I managed to run better than that on all four runs. the best being a 15.363 @ 88.70mph with a 2.197 60' time. I was shocked. my car desperately needs a tune up, had a full tank of gas, the rear seats were in and I had a bunch of junk in the car. Not to mention the air was not as optimal as last time. I wonder how I managed to knock off nearly a whole tenth when nothing was in my favor? Oh a just for the record my best reaction time was an .027 Very Happy

Now to see what kind of improvement my headers and Y-pipe will make. Twisted Evil

way to go dude! That's good news man. I forget, are you running a 305? TBI or TPI?

He's a TPIer, and the only guy I know who can have his car run crappier yet go faster... Grr

I mustered a 15.2 with a 2.0 60ft in my old '85 Maro. I bet you could do it!

I'm sure I could pull that off if I could pull a better 60' time. I think I would need either a stall, or better gears. On my launch, I stall up the converter a bit then just go full throttle without a hint of wheel spin. I've tried flashing the converter but the engine stumbles off idle.

I think an honorable mention should go out to Derek as well. He finally broke into the 15's with a 15.909 @ 84.95mph

with the 3.73's your MPH in the trap will go up a bit too!

What's your theory on that Chris?

MPH is indicative of power.... His ET will change.

The headers and Y pipe have scared the carbon out of the factory cast iron boat anchors lol.
Headers and cat back should net a tenth or two. When my 87 was basicly stock (305) it ran a 15.03 @ 93.?? mph with just a set of headers, cat back and MSD ignition parts. This was with all of the interior in place, spare, jack, etc.

I think he's somewhere in Honda Civic land with 2.4's

Hey, 2.185 is my best!

Damn haha. That's quicker than my 60' time with my 13.6 run.
