Grady, thanks for the input but what does the 1320 mean? lol, sorry if I sound like a noob.

When it comes to weight reduction, I've done it all. I was only running the driver's seat and nothing else. I know I have some practice to better my shifts and driving skills. My timing is at 14* and my fp is at 39psi. I need to take it to the dyno to get everything dialed in correctly, so there goes another $50-$60.

1320 means, 1320 feet (1/4 mile).

Are you speed shifting or lifting off the gas in between shifts? I have picked up a couple tenths speed shifting in the 1/8th mile. I know its hard to do when your afraid of breaking stuff. I have a hard time getting myself to do it with street tire, but my tranny has about 150,000 miles on it. I still don't know if I'm going to speed shift when I get my Drag Radials. I guess it depends on how close I am to my goal.

Nope, no powershifting. It was my first time so I wanted to take it easy. I know my tranny won't hold any powershifts as it is, so I'll see.

i powershift my t5

 

[Therian]

i like to rebuild my t5

fixed

 

[Jackie Chan]

fixed

sorry i like to drive it hard....no rebuilds yet aside from the initial one when i bought the car. 10 150 kit passes, and 10 blower passes along with about 60 na passes in the low 13's and high 12's....knock on wood

i have seen just as many of my friends break their tremecs3550's/tko's and such as i have stock t5's.

well, if you're not powershifting yet, that would probably get you in the 12's on a cool day, but dont do it, lol. i dont think powershifting proves much... you could also launch in the redline with nitrous blasting off the line, but it is still a stock driveline so stick with the normal shifts, if you are cutting those times already with a vert just port that intake and make a cai for what thats worth... you've got 12's in there!! awesome times!

 

[SQUEEZE&STROKE]

Are the tires a true slick? Or are they M/T ET Streets? (The newest radials they came out with? Tire pressure plays a major key depending on which set of tires you have.

 

[Blackened302]

you know, i didn't think about it when you told me, but.... htf are you missing 3rd w/ an aftermarket shifter (tri-ax)??? that's it, my friend, you gotta hand it over to me. i'll need it soon--we're putting my engine together this weekend, you wanna go over and help out?

btw--sweet times, man, glad it's finally working out for you. you proved a few people wrong, and it's only gonna get better.

When it comes to playing around at the 1320

The 60 foot is where its at
bad 60 foot is a bad et ................ unless you got mega hp

i gotta agree 100%

my old set up was iron gt40's, explorer intake, stock cam, 150 shot, and stock 2.73gears. went 12.91 @ 110.68 with a 2.1 sixty foot

this year on my current set up (in sig) went 13.6 @ 105 with 2.4 sixty foot

Obviously, my times sucked, but the mph was there. i can only imagin what i could have gotten with 1.8 sixty foots

"but my tranny has about 150,000 miles on it"

LOL, me too...It whines at me all the time like a nag.

You car break into the 12's, but your either gonna need a bit more HP mods to get that 102mph to a 104, or alot of weight reduction with some mad POWAshifting.

Paul, give me a call, I'm off this weekend so I can help out. Thanks guys. For some reason, I just know I can hit a 12.99 with just porting my intake and with a power pipe I'm borrowing. Lower psi and front runners with a harder launch will get me there. HOPEFULLY I don't break anything.
