I have the following mods on my 00' Trans Am. What kind of times should I see in the 1/4 mile?

-SLP Lid
-LS6 Intake Manifold
-Pacesetter 1 3/4" LT's
-Pacesetter Off Road Y-Pipe
-SLP Loudmouth Cat-Back
-Spec Billet Steel flywheel
-Spec Stage 3 Clutch
-245 street tire

**Also, I bought the car used and the suspension has been lowered. What should that do to traction? Better or worse?

With decent traction (1.9-2.0 60') you should run 8.50's in the 1.8th and about 12.7 in the 1/4... at about 110mph... :drive:

I couldn't believe it!! I'm pissed. First run was 14.01 @ 101mph. 60" was 2.20's don't remember the exactly. I'm shifting @ 6,000 rpm. Am I doing something wrong or is there something wrong with my car???

well your 60 ft is not good, since you are lowered you will probably need lower control arm relocation brackets if you cant get that 60 ft down.

you are down almost 10 mph, thats the bigger problem

The 60 isnt everything , 2 weeks ago i went to the track for fun (My car has a problem missfiring for a month now) and did a couple of 2.2-2.6 60 and never seen the 14s. my best was 13.5 , and my car is 2000 to and exactly same modes except for the True duals.

with a good traction and good driving skills you should be in the 12.4-12.7 Range, I did 12.6 on BFG street tires with a bad 60 , but my car was healthy that time.

I drive the car real good, but it just doesn't get down the track like it should. My mph is still way too low. I don't know what it could be. It's not misfiring. In fact it seems to run pretty smooth, but I'm just lacking power. Dyno numbers were around 280hp and 300 ft. lbs. of torque at the wheels. I think that's pretty damn low considering the mods. Has anyone seen this problem before?

280hp/300ft.lbs :confused:

Based on the your power definitely it's not your driving buddy they your numbers seem to be way too low for the mods she has i'd recommend ya to check out the whole ignition (Spark Plugs or plug wires) or induction i'm sure there's something holds your power back !!!
