runnin 14.88 Posted By: formulateez On: 06-02-2008 @ 13:31:29 Reply | Edit What ides does anyone have need your help, or ideas -- 1987 formula 350 5.7, 3inch exhaust, hooker headers, bbk throttle body, cold air intake Posted By: Pocket On: 06-02-2008 @ 14:18:58 Reply | Top | Edit Thats about right for a stock/minor mods L98 -- "If you have complete control over the damned thing, you're not going fast enough." - Carrol Smith Posted By: 91gtaws6 On: 06-02-2008 @ 18:24:59 Reply | Top | Edit I was able to run 14.56 with a .455 reaction time. Only tried to run twice that was the best but it still sucked cause of the reaction time. 1991 350 TPI Posted By: fast82Z On: 06-02-2008 @ 22:15:01 Reply | Top | Edit Reaction time has nothing to do with e.t. You could check the ignition timing to see if it goes to 36-38 degrees total.

My best run in my Z28 was: Reaction: .157 I1: 2.506 I2: 6.494 I3: 9.722 MPH: 76.418 ET: 14.835 MPH: 96.396 M.O.V 1.525 (whatever that is.) I had fun. The first run sucked SRT 4 beat me. My Reaction time was .845 with a 18.372 @ 55.817. Not the low 14's I was looking for, but if I had taken out my speaker box and amp and lose about 100 pounds I should do a little better. I could use some better tires as well. I either spun like crazy or had to take off just about from idle. Coming off Idle gave me my best time. I've only been once though, I want to go back but my clutch is slipping. I got on it one day and hit 3rd. My engine was revving but I wasn't spinning. When I let out of it, I smelled the clutch.

I had a .962 RT, I spun off the line giving me like a 3.2 second 60', and my timing was set @ 16 degree's ADV base (which was so bad my car stalled 4 times on me when I stopped to pickup my timeslip on the way back). So I am hoping to do a little better next time lmao. --  Posted By: formulateez On: 06-04-2008 @ 17:23:25 Reply | Top | Edit my third run finals numbers, i understand probably, none of it. please help me get better times. i basicly punched it right off the line, reading some of the other messages you think that i should roll off the line then punch it? please explain these numbers to me, as well as some tips on how to better these times.does anyone understand why i had better time at a lower mph. r/t .820 r/t 1.054 60' 2.224 60' 2.220 330 6.195 330 6.168 1/8 9.545 1/8 9.499 mph 73.18 mph 73.46 1000 12.442 1000 12.380 1/4 14.893 1/4 14.847 mph 92.11 mph 88.42 -- 1987 formula 350 5.7, 3inch exhaust, hooker headers, bbk throttle body, cold air intake Posted By: fast82Z On: 06-04-2008 @ 18:29:16 Reply | Top | Edit r/t is the reaction time, and the best possible is likely a .500. Everything else, other than mph, is the time from when your tires left the starting line to the time it took your car to travel whatever the distance is. I'd say there's probably another 2-3 tenths to be gained from a perfect launch to make your 2.22 numbers into 2.0-1.9. The slower mph with the faster time is pretty normal, usually it means u got a better start that left less time to build up the mph. -- 1982 Z28, 383, D-1SC intercooled @ 16.5psi, trick flow heads, solid roller cam, 3.73's, th400, 4500 stall, trans. brake, fuel injection, 10.01@135, 1.51 60' AIM:CHATV400 Posted By: LeadFootedRacer

things you want to consider is traction. traction is key. you could put a 500 shot of nitrous on it, and when you hit the button, your gunna eat the wall. do not "roll" off the line, you need to launch the fastest possible without spinning your tire(s). tires, LCA's, springs, drag shocks/struts all things that'll help with weight transfer and stick. -- 1987 Trans Am - 5.0 Auto - Flowtech Shorties - Flowmaster American Thunder - Spohn LCA's & Solid Sway Bars - Summit Drop Springs - SOLD 1989 K-5 Blazer - 5.7 - 4" Rough Country Lift - 35" BFG All Terrians - Dual 2 1/2" Pipes & Flowmaster Super 44s 1984 Firebird - No Motor or Trans - Checkered Racing 4 Link Backhalf - M/T Sportsman 31x18.5 on 15x15 Weld Pro Stars Pics Seen HERE-- Fbody.com Site Donator -- Posted By: Archangel On: 07-02-2008 @ 15:51:37 Reply | Top | Edit There is no general rule for launching. That depends on what car you are driving. Powerband, tires, etc. Looks like your 60' times could be better. Try heating up your tires(dry) before you stage. Try stomping on it first. If it spins too much then try a less aggresive launch for your next pass. You have to race your car a little so you get to know your car and how to properly race it. Good tires would be the best thing. --  '91 GTA L98"What does matter is that the current GTA carries on the idea of the first Trans Am proudly and deservedly.
