-C&L Plenum
-K&N FIPK
-180* Thermostat
-BBK offroad X-pipe
-SLP Loudmouth Catback
-4.10 Gears
-Nitto Extreme 555R Drag Radials 315/35's on deep dish rims

i also removed my backseat and spare tire. these are times i was running bonestock. i was expecting a 13.6. i have an automatic so my launches were limited to 1500 RPM launches. i still think it should be a mid 13 second car. i was hoping for 12s when the nitrous is installed in exactly one week from today but if it takes a second off I'm still low 13s. what do you guys think the problem is?? thanks for the help.

Same car with a 5 speed would be faster, my buddy has stock tune 2000 gt, with the same mods as you except no pulleys or plenum and only 275 zeon's and runs high 13's in high altitude up here in Canada.

You should be faster than that man. Check out my mods, and my times in my sig. Keep in mind that time is in the 1/8th mile with a kick *** 60ft.

You gotta work on ur 60s. Try getting them to a 2.0 and you should see some 13s.

Get a higher stall converter, it will work wonders for that 60 foot time, at which point you may have trouble hooking on those Nittos, (Sorry but I hate Nitto DR's they don't hook worth crap). Meanwhile can you break stall the car any higher without spinning the tires? You also may want to try an off idle launch, don't stall it up at all, just pull to the line and wack it.

Ever .1 off your 60' will probably get you .2 off your 1/4 time. Get some lower control arms and practice launching with the right tire pressure, you should drop your 60' down to at least 1.9, which would cut .6 off your 1/4 giving you a 13.4

For what its worth, I've cut a best of 1.76 60' on 245/45/17 Nitto drag radials. That was with stock shocks, struts, swaybar, etc. Only suspension mods were 4cyl front fox body springs, control arms, and subframe connectors.

I don't knoe about the automatics but I think for your mods your trap speet isn't good. I got a 5 speed and look @ my mods. I've been runnig the same tiems you r But withou traction. (no tires) and gotten way better mph. 100-101mph. Maybe that's normal with th automatics.

yeah i dunno because this is what i was running stock.

its shifting into 4th though and im not sure with the auto if it should be in 3rd when im finishing across the line. maybe i should raise my rev limiter?

the nittos hook up on the street but not at the track they spun a bit. i did heat them up pretty good though before each race.
