Default 1st Time down the track (TAD)

Well here's my times...keep in mind, I've NEVER been down a dragstrip, so this was my cherry run,

1st Run (Right Lane) :

1/4- 17.73 @ 87.41 mph
Reaction time-.6568
60ft-2.9466

2nd Run (left Lane) :

1/4- 15.03 @ 91.49 mph
Reaction time-.6946
60ft-2.2701

3rd Run (left lane) :

1/4- 14.84 @ 93.30 mph
Reaction Time-.5289
60ft-2.2309

4th run (left Lane) :

1/4- 14.79 @ 92.50 mph
Reaction Time-.2782
60ft-2.2314

5th run (left lane) :

1/4- 15.26 @ 92.01 mph
Reaction Time-.6206
60ft-2.5801

I would say pretty darn good (14.79 run) for a stock car with just an intake, and full exhaust on radials (new nitto nt555's) @ 32 psi.
My car is:

90 LX notch w/135k miles
Motor is STOCK from pan to throttle body.
Suspension is STOCK
Mods are:
BBK short ram intake tube with K&N conical filter
FRPP 1 5/8 shorty headers
2.5 offroad H-pipe
Borla XR1 mufflers to 2.5 LX tailpipes
3.55 gears
5 lug swap
Stock t-5 w/pro 5.0 shifter
01 cobra wheels with Nitto 255/45/17 NT555's.

And that's it.

Really really would like to get a set of slicks and see what the car would run then.

Don't forget you also have 3.55's. I might have run some times like yours if I had your gears

Can't wait till we go again! You definitely improved after a couple runs. Next time my carb shouldn't load up all night long like it did.

Next time dude, I'm dropping tire pressure and bumping timing. Figure that will get me a little bit faster.

Hopefully next time we can round up a set of tires between some of us and at least get one or 2 runs with stickier tires.
