Best I could do was 2.04 with TCS on, on my BFG Gforce KDWs aired to 24psi.The second launch with TCS off was just plain ugly...

damn,I was hoping 1.8s[:'(],I am thinking if someone was able to pull 1.5s consistantly on drag radials and had enough power up top to keep on pulling they would be pretty hard to beat on the
streets even with na/310whp(ish)
At 310 rwhp you will not have enough power to pull 1.5's even with a 4000 rpm converter.

+1


310 rwhp in a full weight S197 is only going to be 1.70 give or take.
If you want to run 1.47 or so you better bring some power to the party.
Leaving on a 150 hp shot would certainly help.

Im thinking the best 100% Stock Auto Pass Ive seenwas somewhere in the 2.0's

I know the best 100% Stock Manual Pass Ive seen was a 1.84.

On street tires and with very basic boltons (NA), I got a 1.94 60' launching at 1200 rpms on about 22 psi in the rear tires. I ran a 12.95 that pass. That was before the 4.10 gears and DRs.

I think it should be clarified whether the OP wanted times onbasic bolt-onor blown/juicing cars because that makes a HUGE difference.

no FI/juice,just pure NA bolt ons,gears/tune etc.
street tires most interestingly.

I just pulled out the slip of the 12.950 run on street tires. My 60' was 1.945. That was the best I could ever get on street tires. I couldn't launch at anything above 1200 rpms due to excessive tire spin.

To compare, with 4.10s and DRs, my best 60' so far is 1.860. I can definitely bring this down with practice but I am a beginner on DRs still (I've only had them at the track twice, before that I'd never had DRs on any car before). I'm hoping to get the 60' down to around 1.80 and eek out a 12.50 in the 1/4.

The best I could do with my current mods is a 2.2 60' [:'(]with the car spinning and sometimes fishtailing on the 1-2 shift resulting in 13.6-13.7 passes[:@]at about 105.










Those are stock times. I would have thought better with your mods.
Not exactly stock, all the ones I've seen are between 13.9-14.4 for stock autos, I've heard of only one that clocked 13.6

13.7-13.5 are usually for manuals, besides the only "power" mods I have is a tune and pulleys, the delete plates only helps with forced induction, which I plan on doing in the near future.
And as I said earlier, even with a good launch the car spins wildly in the 1-2 shift costing me alot, I'm sure with DRs I'll be in low 13s, I expect a 13.2
