Default My first pass at the strip

Was digging in my center console and found my timeslip from my first and only pass I made a few months ago. Car is 95 Trans Am w/ 120K, A4, 3.23. Only mods are a crappy ebay cai and flowmaster catback.

Reaction .9875
60ft 2.0871
1/8 9.1468 @ 77.39mph
1/4 14.2375 @ 96.40

I think this a bit on the slow side, even for an LT1. I didn't get to make any other passes to get an average. What do you guys think?

Seems fairly average to me for the mods and mileage.

Default new mods

Went back to the track this weekend with new mods. Went 13.98 but couldn't run anymore cause I didn't have a helmet. Changed from 3.23s to 3.42s and replaced the flowmaster with a Magnaflow catback, the ebay intake with a K&N cold air, and added an airfoil.

Weather was better this time if I remember correctly. A little cooler with a little less humidity.
