Default quarter mile question?

took my bolt-on 90lx with an aod and stock 3.27s to the strip this summer. have a cat-back, cai, 65mm tb and 133k. clocked my second run ever- 15.4 at 90mph! does that sound about right? i think ive could have hit 15.2 is that pretty good?

Looks like a good run for what you got. With more track time I'm positive you could bring that down some more.
Over a 3 weekend period when my 87 LX had almost 200k on the clock I started with a first night best of 15.2 / 90.6 mph. That was with a 5 spd & 2.73 gears, k&n filter. Second weekend I put on my hollowed out cats and playing with the tire pressures got me a 14.9 / 93 mph. 3rd weekend moved my timing from 10 to 14 degrees initial, playing some more with tire pressure and working on my launch gave me a 14.7 / 93 mph.

I agree above...seems SLO...I ran 14.73 at 95.7 mph with my 88 GT AOD, 2.73's and only Dynomax mufflers & 2-1/4 old SVO H-pipe, car had about 180k miles at that time...I later ran a 14.21 at 99.6 when I added 3.55's....

my 60ft times were in the 2.2 range! compared to other stangs running mid 14s why did fall flat at the 1/4?

2.2 is a pretty bad 60 ft. get some gears and maybe some drag radials and get that 60 foot down...
