Ok so mods are in my sig, lemme know what you guys think. I only went to the 1/8 th mile track tonite, it was my first time in like a year, so a little rusty. Oh and I took the chip out.

R/T - .603
60' - 2.019
1/8th - 8.834
mph - 80.61

What should I do next based on my times and the mods I have now. My plans were the Accufab 75 mm TB, Steeda lowers and adj. uppers, Subs, and a dyno tune with the Predator when it comes out. How does this sound? Thanks guys.

Take those 3.73's out and get at least 3.90's.

Mine is a daily driver too and I love my 3.90's. Put 4.10's in it and you will run 8.5's next trip to the track.

based on the times you got now start thinking practice rather than more money on mods to get faster. Driver correction is your best mod

Well I need a tune bad too, and suspension...my car's not running right, and it's idling really funny. So once I get this stuff fixed, I'll head back to the track.

you have C&L MAF, flowpipe, and exhaust. you don't need a tune yet. If it's idling funny try cleaning out your IAC and reconnecting it. If it doesn't work try changing your fuel filter and maybe some new autolite 764 copper plugs. that'll help you regardless.
Other than that you're not doing bad at all..

when you run the 1/4 next time at the track try pulling some extra weight off. Spare tire, jack, spoiler, and right side headlight. If you can access the front sway bar pull that off. when you're driving on the street i recommend you put that front sway bar back on. A good 9second burn out on your nitto 555's at 24psi and avoid waterbox..

You should be doing much better then that, I can pull a 8.7 with a 1.9 60ft with my mods in the 1/8. I did that with the rear tires at 16 psi and the front at 40 psi with no spare tire and trunk gutted. With your mods you should be doing 8.6 or so, keep working on that launch.

ok this is a picture of the plenum but if you look. Right in front of the plenum there is a cylindrical shaped unit with the black cord connected to it. That's your IAC. around 1 inch long and inch in diameter..

Get some DRs and practice. You should be able to hit 1.8-1.9 at worst and that will make a big difference on the big end. Right now your car is slow for the mods you got on it.

That is about right. Your main mods are gears , exaust and Plenum.
Those of you that think that is slow, do you have times???? Times will pick up a little with practice, but until you get some sticky tires and your 60 ft time down, thats right on.

That's about a 13.7 -13.8 1/4. That is slow for a geared, modded GT. I was 13.5 with less than that.
