At least I dont ever feel the spin. And it feels like I get off the line good. What parts can I buy that will help my car in the 60? --

And that was my first run with a 50 shot and I have a wot switch. Any other parts, I have the nitrous kit and im goin to run a 100 shot but I want to try and get my 60 time without the n20 first. --
Posted By: IROCZman15 On: 06-02-2007 @ 22:31:03 Reply | Top | Edit what rear gears are you running? 3.73s would help get the 60ft down, but you will top out at a lower speed (not at the strip, at the highway); also some rear suspension stuff, coilovers, adjustbale chocks lca's would help u launch better --

along with most rear suspenison mods (better tq arm, airbags, etc). you could also try free stuff like removing the front swaybar, not running on a full tank, and anything that helps with weight transfer. my guess though is that practicing your launch should be the first thing you do. maybe not hitting the nitrous on the launch (if you are). practice practice practice. --  Posted By: 91_gta On: 06-03-2007 @ 12:51:32 Reply | Top | Edit Im hitting the nitrous at the end of first. And I already have 3.73 gears I never thought my 60 times would be so slow. The mustang I beat by about a 1/2 car or a car, pulled a 2.0 60 time. Same with the lt1's I beat Should I try hitting the nitrous sooner like when i hit 2500-3000 or what do you guys sugguest? -- [ Edited on 06/03/2007 @ 12:55:29 ] Posted By: roubenbird On: 06-04-2007 @ 01:00:59 Reply | Top | Edit wow your beating LS1's and your barley cracking 13's. they are the suck at driving i guess or where they GTO's? --

"What does matter is that the current GTA carries on the idea of the first Trans Am proudly and deservedly. It's still the most mature and sophisticated ponycar. It still has character. It still has muscle. And it's still worthy of the name."

Track temp? There is alot of things that can vary from day to day and can help you get your car dialed in. A convertor would help alot IMO. In basic terms you need to get the front end up and keep the rear from squatting. Unhooking the front swaybar and adding the twist in rear spring spacers to help prevent squat. --
