Some of you might remember my thread about a guy on another forum with a 94 Trans Am with manual tranny and convertible. His mods were gears and full exhaust and he was saying he ran a 13.3. Well here is his latest post, and just so you know, I call total B.S:
I was at englishtown, which is a slower track than i usually race at. Car was at 3620 lbs with skinnies, full exhaust, 4.10 gears, and 255 bfg drag radials mounted on steelies.
1st run 55* front tires at 50psi, rears at 20 launched at 3500 and bogged HARD 60'.....2.037 330....5.666 1/8....8.626 MPH...83.58 1000..11.170 1/4....13.307 MPH...105.53
2nd run 57* Tires same, launched from 4200 and bogged hard again 60'.....1.899 330....5.433 1/8....8.372 MPH...32.65 1000..10.909 1/4....13.045 MPH...105.59
3rd run no temp Tires same, launched at 4500 and still bogged 60'.....1.855 330....5.385 1/8....8.308 MPH...83.32 1000..10.831 1/4....12.955 MPH...106.17 NEW BEST
4th run no temp Tires same, launched at 4800 and finally didnt bog 60'.....1.820 NEW BEST 330....5.335 1/8....8.265 MPH...83.10 1000..10.792 1/4....12.920 NEW BEST MPH...106.03
I still think i could have left a little harder on that last run, and the weather was probably somewhere near 60* so the car's still got more in it, and the next time ill be at atco, hopefully improving to a 12.70 or better. __________________
Sorry about the confusion. These are the slips the guy with the Trans Am posted on another forum. Its a 94 TA with manual tranny and convertible, he has gears and full exhaust with DR's and says he ran a 12.9.
He has ported heads or headers or something you dont know about... I run 8.7 @ 83mph in the 1/8th... he is making some good power ...ET is possible with great traction and nice 60fts but I wouldnt expect to see more than 102mph with his mods. Strange.
Just so you know, this guy is on www.ecotecforum.com and he is too far away from me to race, otherwise I would. Not that I care if he is lying or if he is tellin the truth, I just figured I would get some answers from you guys on how he could run these times with the mods he has. Here is a full list, which he hasnt ever posted until now, so maybe he is tellin the truth:
Englishtown scale puts me at 3620 lbs raceweight...want my full and complete mod list for my 12.92 pass? here it is:
!a/c Taylor 8mm spark plug wires (mod?) NGK TR55 plugs (mod?) Pacesetter longtube headers Pacesetter offroad y-pipe Borla catback with open plate 4.10 gears, stock posi, ta girdle Spohn tubular lower control arms B&M ripper shifter w/ lou's short stick
And i was on 3.5" weld prostars up front, with 255/50/16 BFG Comp ta drag radials on steelies out back
Also, i have popped the valve covers and there are stock LT1 valve springs, stock rockers, and stock pushrods so the motor is definately internally stock.
I will hopefully have video on tuesday after i go 12.80s or better at atco
