The Bullitt and myself did not farewell last night. Reaction times were consistantly over 1 second. 60Ft times averaged 2.2 seconds. 1/8 mile times averaged 9.4 seconds and mile per hour was consistantly 77mph.

I was racing against my buddy in his slightly modded 95 Trans Am. He was killing me up to about half track and then I started pulling in. However, I could not beat him across the finish line. His reaction and 60ft times were better then mine ever time but my ET and MPH hour was better everytime.

I need information on how to better setup my Bullitt. Here are the specs for mine and his car.

Trans Am: Stock 16" wheels running 30psi. He has added exhaust, K&N filter, tubular K-member and Eibach pro springs. (LTO engine, rated at 275hp)

Bullitt: Chrome 03 Cobra wheels with big 18x10.5's in the back running 25psi (62lbs each), K&N filter, 4:10 gears, Long tube headers, catted H-pipe, and flows welded in.

He said he hooked really good all night. I could get off the line with minimal wheel spin but spun bad from 1st to 2nd and a little from 2nd to 3rd.

I am looking to get a set of Pro Stars or Drag lites to remedy my traction and weight problem but still need help with inceasing my MPH and reducing my ET. I will work on my Reaction and 60ft times.

Here is one of our best time slips.
1.011 ----Reaction---- .704
2.226 ----60 Ft------- 2.212
8.867 ----ET @ 594 FT- 9.006
9.445 ----1/8 ET ----- 9.617
77.72 ----1/8 MPH ---- 73.61

He finished first by .1358 seconds.

Not bad times considering the lack of traction you had. You definately need the slicks.

don't worry about the reaction time. just nail the launch
you should be going a bunch faster than that.

you really don't need to set up your car better. you need to learn your car better & drive it better. sorry to sound harsh but that's the reality of it. with your mods you should be well into the 8's in the 1/8th.

i ran at my local 1/8th & got:

react. - .046
60 ft - 2.195
330 ft - 5.977
1/8 et - 9.045
mph - 80.18


& that run is with only l/t's & prochamber, so just practice a little more & you should lay it to that ole T/A
now i need to go re-learn to launch on 3.27's instead of 4.10's (but i won't have to deal with them for long ) i couldn't cut a decent 60 all night

somehow I misread the post last nite (was so tired)

in a BULLIT with LT's, H pipe, AND 4.10's??? You should be much much much faster
I went 8.8 @ 79.8mph in my 99 GT with only MAF
