Most stock aod foxbodies still run low 15s. Something is definitely wrong with your car, probably something with your transmission. You should be in the 14s no problem.

i dont think the times are that bad for a fully equipped GT
Dont listen to this statement whatsoever. No auto foxbody should run high 16s, that is complete bs.
^^^^+1....my old 98 S-10 with a 4 banger went only .3 sec slower with a couple bolt ons....no way a sports car should be even close to that....

I didn't go thur all the thread buy alot of it is in your mods

your T/B is way too big also what is fuel pressure?..what is the tracks attitude?
ORIGINAL: Stevens91gt

well i went to the track recently and ran a 16.799
i know it's really pathetic
i have a 91 gt w/ an aod
i have a trickflow street heat intake manifold
70mm TB, EGR spacer, C&L 76mm MAF
bbk shorty unequal headers, bbk hi flow catalytic converters
Flowmaster cat back, UDP's, plug wires, msd coil and box

could there be something wrong with the computer?
it's an aod so it's not a "bad driver" mod haha
should i get a chip or something?
i know ive heard you guys say a chip really isnt worth it
without having more major mods..but im confused

how could a run so slow when ive raced an auto LS1
and lost by 2 car lengths

and a supercharged 350z ran a 15.00 1/4 mile
w/ a good driver
