I finished getting baseline numbers for my 1994 Z28 tonight as I took it to the track. As stated before, I'm starting this build from scratch and keeping track as I go. The car is a 1994 Z28, A4, with 2.73 gears that is stock with the exception of ZR1 wheels and Eibach lowering springs. Rated 275hp and 325tq it dynoed 230 hp and 273 tq to the ground. I had previously g-teched it just for comparison's sake. It ran a 14.1 @ 100ish on the g-tech.

Tonight I got the final baseline for it at Lebanon Valley Dragway. I left the car untouched except for changing the oil (conventional oil) and setting the tire pressure to 45 psi front and 35 psi rear (changed to 30 psi after the second pass).

My first run I spun to a 14.79 @ 96 mph with a 2.40 60'.

Second pass was not much better with a 14.63 @ 96.5 mph with a 2.25 60'.

At this point I was beginning to think that maybe I just got a slug. I was pleasantly suprised with my final 2 passes.

14.33 @ 98.0 mph with a 2.20 60'
14.32 @ 97.5 mph with a 2.14 60'

Nothing earth shattering, but at least the car is running what it should for what it is. I would not have been happy going home with a 14.6, lol.

Now I can move on to the next stage. I'll be getting and installing a Magnaflow cat-back, K&N CAI, airfoil (the Thunder Racing Kit), a 1LE elbow, Nitto drag radials, and Royal Purple oil. Then it will be back to the track and hopefully a 13.9 second pass unless the weather kills my performance.

I'll be holding off on the dyno until I get more hp mods than those listed above. At $100 a pop for 3 pulls on the dyno, the track is just more fun.


My first 2 runs were against some civic that ran 18 and then a 16.1. My third run was a sleeper CRX that ran a 12.7 @ 120 mph! I killed him off the line and then he started creeping back, but it turns out he was still spinning, lol. Once he got traction then the multiple bus lengths started, lol. My last run was against a 12 second Nove or something. I didn't really care as it wasn't a street car. Over all a fun night!
