damn someone else needs to chime in here!
so ur saying that a 99-04 GT traps 94 in the qtr? now yes i have seen that quite a few times, but the majority of them trap 97-99 stock that i have seen.
so to say that they are going from 74-98 on the big end, means that they are gaining 24 mph there. i dont see that happening.

I understand where your coming from man. I dont think one could pick up 24mph either. Maybe im an idiot. Our track could be throwing out bad numbers for real. Ive never seen it, but I dont guess it means it cant happen.

PS> nice video

i just recall alot more trapping 97+, rather then 94ish.

Get some DR. need work on the launch. Auto or manual. If manual might work on your shifting, just a guessing though

I still havent hit 80mph in the 1/8. and I have seen a couple 8.65's and 8.66's.

See, this guys running what be 13.40's in the 1/4(which is great for a decently modded 2v), but he cant hit 80mph either. It just doesnt make sense. I understand what blazer4.3 is saying, but this guys numbers arent making that true either. I dont know. lol

Well I know i'm not an 04, but my best run I trapped 80.18 in the 1/8 and 106.05 in the 1/4. Not sure if that helps any

Everyone is just rule of thumb, everyone will run different compared ot others at there local tracks. weather plays a role, elevation, DA, mods, and drivers. I can pull my timeslip this weekend and get the time of the run and get the DA' of a weather site. But If i can rember correctly DA' was 3200' or something like, then used a calculator and the corrected time was 13.2xx@102.xxx, so at sea level i would be 80+ in the 1/8.
The mods limiting me now are exhaust, only thing touched is the mufflers, and those are just weld in flowmasters. Still have all 4 cats[:'(]
RT 0.681
60 1.985 <-- not hooking up 100% launching on a 5 grand two step, think it likes launching on the 4.5k two step better
330 5.575
1/8 8.667
mph 79.460
1000 11.353
1/4 13.633
mph 98.670

from my experience elevation makes a HUGE difference in performance. i used to read bout people getting mid 13s with their bolt on GTs only to find out that at 5000 FT the best that i could run about 95mph in the 1/4 and my best so far is 14.65 [:@]


edit: i would love to have an idea of what my could run at sea level where can i find a calculator that does that??

Elevation and temperature make a huge impact on your 1/4 mile times.
