Default Best stock LS1 A4 w/ 2.73's 1/4 mile times

Just bought a 99 Trans am stock with 2.73's and was wondering what have some guys out there run dead stock with the 2.73's. 2 owners ago was the last time the car was run and ran a supposed 13.3 at 104 or 105. Seems quite a bit low. I will see what it runs myself but it feels faster than my lt1 camaro that ran 13.5's at 102. But i'm trying to see what other people run. Thanks in advance.

And a tune.



Any of the cars I've seen with 2.73s, stock or near stock, ran as good as any 3.23 car.

I plan on setting the car up for future plans. But i want to see how fast i can get it to go with just a lid and a muffler. But i want to start weight reduction. Want to see if i can get to mid 12's stock motor (lid+muffler) and DR's to run 12's with a race weight around 3300-3400 on the high side.

If you need drag radials with a stockish 2.73 car you need to find a new track. On a car that doesn't spin drag radials will slow you down.
