I ran a 15.47 on the run before my trans blew which was the fastest its ever run. Now that I've got a 2500 rpm stall and a HD trans what do you guys think? Are 14's possible? My best 60' was 2.20 before the stall and trans work. Thanks!
 
I would venture to say yes. You have 4.10s that’s going to help you out tremendously. You need to find some traction and bring those 60' down. Hell advance the timing it free hp, lower rear tire pressure to 25 psi inflate front tire psi 40, remove front sway bar(install after you finish racing), remove some weight pass seat, rear seat,ect... good luck.
 
Well the answer is no. The best I could get was a 15.42 on drag radials. This is getting ridiculous. The freakin Diablo chip cost me 2/10's. It shifting at all the wrong rpms, like holding 1st to 6200 and 2nd to 5800. I turned the chip off and still couldn't get past 15.42

I know the vert is heavy and all but I'm getting frustrated.
 
Man are verts really that much hevier? I ran 15.2 when my car was bone stock, not even a k & n air filter. And that was street tires and stock gears by just pressing the brake and launching at like 1500 rpm's. How much do those verts weigh?? I would think you should be able to pull 14's no sweat with the stall converter. What were your 60 ft times like??? Did you lower the tire pressure in those d/r's to like 15 psi? They wont hook up unless you lower the tire pressure and roast the **** out of them to get em nice and sticky.
 
60' was 2.26. The tires were at 15 psi. I burned them for a good 5-6 seconds at 3500 in second. It weighs 3405 or 3585 with me in it. One of us needs to go on a diet.
 
hrmmm...i think you need to buy my cobra intake when i take it off . i think you should get pretty close to 14's. im hopin you dont have ur stock hpipe on there. if so then you need to buy a new one and ill put it on for ya :) . i think you will be close tho. after my second gear gets fixed, i want to go to the track bad
 
I'll take your cobra intake off of ya when you're ready as long as your available for technical assistance with the install. Yes, the factory h-pipe is still on. :nonono: I'm waiting for the great state of Illinois to send me an emissions notice before I take it off. I know as soon as I take it off its gonna come.
 
i hope i don't have the same trouble NEEDA5.0. i just got my cobra intake installed and am waiting on the 4.10s as well. looking at your signature, by the end of next week, i'll have everything you have minus the subs(got control arms), stall and the chip :D i ran a 15.4 @ 92 my first time out, hope with these mods the times get a lot better.


send pm on chip
 
I have a 95 AODE vert with 4:10's, 3000 stall and DR's + 1 5/8 shorties, 2.5 h-pipe and dumps and I'm running 14.6 with 1.9 60ft. Before I got my chip from JMS I was having a lot of shifting problems. and couldn't get out of the 15's. I'd try giving JMS a call.

so i'll have shifting problems with the 4.10s. your time is pretty good considering you don't have a lot. how much was the chip and can you provide US with number.

thanx
