"94 Trans Am" AGAIN
Some of you might remember my thread about a guy on another forum with a 94 Trans Am with manual tranny and convertible. His mods were gears and full exhaust and he was saying he ran a 13.3. Well here is his latest post, and just so you know, I call total B.S:
I was at englishtown, which is a slower track than i usually race at. Car was at 3620 lbs with skinnies, full exhaust, 4.10 gears, and 255 bfg drag radials mounted on steelies.
1st run
55*
front tires at 50psi, rears at 20
launched at 3500 and bogged HARD
60'.....2.037
330....5.666
1/8....8.626
MPH...83.58
1000..11.170
1/4....13.307
MPH...105.53
2nd run
57*
Tires same, launched from 4200 and bogged hard again
60'.....1.899
330....5.433
1/8....8.372
MPH...32.65
1000..10.909
1/4....13.045
MPH...105.59
3rd run
no temp
Tires same, launched at 4500 and still bogged
60'.....1.855
330....5.385
1/8....8.308
MPH...83.32
1000..10.831
1/4....12.955
MPH...106.17 NEW BEST
4th run
no temp
Tires same, launched at 4800 and finally didnt bog
60'.....1.820 NEW BEST
330....5.335
1/8....8.265
MPH...83.10
1000..10.792
1/4....12.920 NEW BEST
MPH...106.03
I still think i could have left a little harder on that last run, and the weather was probably somewhere near 60* so the car's still got more in it, and the next time ill be at atco, hopefully improving to a 12.70 or better.

RE: "94 Trans Am" AGAIN
Sorry about the confusion. These are the slips the guy with the Trans Am posted on another forum. Its a 94 TA with manual tranny and convertible, he has gears and full exhaust with DR's and says he ran a 12.9.

RE: "94 Trans Am" AGAIN
He has ported heads or headers or something you dont know about... I run 8.7 @ 83mph in the 1/8th... he is making some good power ...ET is possible with great traction and nice 60fts but I wouldnt expect to see more than 102mph with his mods. Strange.

RE: "94 Trans Am" AGAIN
Just so you know, this guy is on www.ecotecforum.com and he is too far away from me to race, otherwise I would. Not that I care if he is lying or if he is tellin the truth, I just figured I would get some answers from you guys on how he could run these times with the mods he has. Here is a full list, which he hasnt ever posted until now, so maybe he is tellin the truth:
Englishtown scale puts me at 3620 lbs raceweight...want my full and complete mod list for my 12.92 pass? here it is:
!a/c
Taylor 8mm spark plug wires (mod?)
NGK TR55 plugs (mod?)
Pacesetter longtube headers
Pacesetter offroad y-pipe
Borla catback with open plate
4.10 gears, stock posi, ta girdle
Spohn tubular lower control arms
B&M ripper shifter w/ lou's short stick
And i was on 3.5" weld prostars up front, with 255/50/16 BFG Comp ta drag radials on steelies out back
Also, i have popped the valve covers and there are stock LT1 valve springs, stock rockers, and stock pushrods so the motor is definately internally stock.
I will hopefully have video on tuesday after i go 12.80s or better at atco

RE: "94 Trans Am" AGAIN
Hmm.. with those mods I can see it. Looks legit.
He is a bit heavier than I was after A/C Delete... I ended up being 3500lbs even with fuel...
Headers REALLY opens up the LT1 ... 20+ rwhp isn't unheard of.
