another 1/4 mile question

[trav_19]

i know theres a lot of these and what not but i was looking over the rules for my local track and i was wanting to know about where i should be to accomidate where i will be at...because i really dont want a cage...and if it goes 13.49 or faster i need one....i dont think i will make that deep this coming year but whats your thoughts?

i will have full aftermarket exhaust
lowering springs dont know if that really plays a role..?
100 shot wet nitrous
i will say stock rear gear because i dont think i will have the 4.10's in but possibly
it has a shift kit
smog eliminated


i believe that should be in for this year...i cant think of anything else you guys think i will be low 14's with stock gear?

 

[NotQuik]

low 14's high 13's is good estimate with a clean pass.....mid 13's aren't out of the question especially if you get gears installed.

 

[trav_19]

really maybe i should leave the gears out this season...i really dont want to put a cage in.... i know of twice i will be going to the track this year....maybe more but unsure.... and i cant see a cage for that...its more a street car....but once the 347 goes in i think i wont have a choice on the cage

are you sure that its 13.49, that just doesnt sound right to me.

maybe its cause the track i frequent is VERY laid back. there its a helmet is needed at 12.99 or better and a cage is needed at 11.49

Trav........are you reading Milan's.............It is confusing but I don't think you nee a cage unless you have a vert until 11's

oh thanks for clearing that up for me will...i thought that seamed kinda slow to need a cage lol.....good to know.....but looks like my 93 will never be a track car because im not putting a roll bar in a vert what kinda times does your car run will?

what kinda times does your car run will?

Subscribed. Whatever it is, I better beat it.

11.50 - 13.49
Roll Bar or Roll Cage For Convertibles

That says that for a Vert faster than 13.49, you need a cage. I know that the track I usually go to (Muncie, IN) they're less particular on test and tune nights, but they'll be more strict during regular bracket nights.

No problem Trav....

Best I've got and it was at Milan was 13.51 @ 99 mph with a 1.8 60' foot.....

now what does that tell ya.........lol.....I'm sure the car is capable of lower and we'll see once the 4:10's go in.............car is great out the box and through second but falls off in 3rd.........a lot of peeps on here say the 'slushbox and the 3:73's are not maximizing the powerband.........I've got a set of Pulleys I got from Don and I will have the gears before we meet up.....I'm hoping to see lower........
We can get 'Hazard" and some of the MI fella's to go and have a good time...

My friend with the LT1 wants a rematch ..he ordered a Aluminum driveshaft and a ported BBk TB........so we will see....

and Paul.....kiss my A@@...... LOL.....don't make me get a bottle too...:SNSign:

 

[gcomfx.com]

You know you're skeered.....

The bottle will definitely maximize your powerband. LOL You'll have too much gear most likely. Just depends on the shot you run and how far you want to twist that needle.

That reminds me I still have to call Andre about my stall. See if it'll need to be restalled or not.

 

[drakesdad]

Paul.....I won't mess with the bottle...........just because I'm not a big racer....................ie...went 3 times this whole year.............maybe down the road though

 

[trav_19]

with the bottle i will get a nitrous pressure guage...but is there another guage to monitor the nos...maybe a boost guage or something?

A/F ratio on a wideband.

 

[trav_19]

thanks gfcox! lol so a boost guage would be useless
