Default 1st time 1/4 time

Well would have like to hit 13's but guess its not too bad considering it was my first time at any track and with 2.73's in the rear.

1st run 14.20 @99mph
2.134 60'

2nd run 14.32 @98.10 mph
2.174 60'


I am thinking a nice set of LT and a fat stall...soon..........

Those are some decent times considering you have 2.73's.

I have a set of 3.73's on my list,

I am pretty sure i have a bad egr valve or bad 02 sensor also , so this may have hurt it, also i never raced before ever, reaction time was .796 and crapy 60' time also

It was very humid at the track and quite warm , my second run i ran against my brother, 02ss A4 I matched his 1/8 mile time but he beat me by .5 in the end 14.3 vs 13.8

actually the 02 doesnt have any effect at WOT and the egr shouldnt matter either if it is stuck closed

well if the 02 is bad it could be causing that at idle and cruising, just not at WOT

no offense, but i dont know how you can say that. i thought most stock, good running, f body cars run low to mid 14's... 100% stock.

hes got a few mods, ide say you should be able to hit at least high 13's. get some LT's, that should help a lot with your setup

Get into the 2.0/1.9 or lower

You already there, its just the launch bud


My freind was cutting 1.9s 1st time out and on allseaons, with hardly any prep! Just work on the launch

I ran a 14.0 @ 99 with Longtubes,ORY, SLP Loudmouth at the time, CAI, Wires, Plugs, and Tuned. You cant compare a 2:73 geared auto car to a 6 speed 3:42 geared car. It also does consist on tracks, altitude, track prep, 60ft times and driver. But i could not for the life of me break 14.0 on street tires. Now a nice sticky tire, would drop the 60's which would then increase the ET.

A bad o2 can affect WOT negatively if it is detecting a false lean condition, because it will sometimes keep the erroneous correction around during WOT operation.

Not bad for 1st time out with the car. I hated my 2.73's, the 3.73's realy woke the car up.

Most of those times for low 14s I'm sure are with 3.23+ gears. He doesn't really have any power adding mods. So keeping that in mind and this is his first time ever (not the best 60'), I think that's right on.
