mild bolt on ls1 ... 14.7 @98mph okay this was my first time running the car, car is a mild bolt on 2000 z28 (mods in sig)
r/t .198
60' 2.163
330 6.259
1/8 9.539
mph 77.05
1000 12.347
1/4 14.703
mph 98.89
so yeah my car ran this really shitty time and i did several more passes and it did even worse
but the next day i found out my fuel pressure regulator was unplugged
i guess i forgot to plug it in after the intake swap?
but do you think it will run better since i plugged it it?
i got a bunch of **** because my ls1 didn't run 13s.

Yeah it was the evap . But before I ran the car wouldn't idle and wouldn't hardly start. But it seem like after I plugged it back in that I gained some power back . It idled perfect and started perfect.
It's and a4 with 2.73 gears with 18s on the back
Idk what to it should be a high 13s car with all the stuff that's done.
I just got an or/y put on so maybe that will help .

Car should be doing way better than that without any mods. 2.73 suck. 18" wheels are probably not helping. You have not told us what you have for tires or what the DA was. I'm guessing you ran on street tires and spun bad. But what concerns me is that low mph.

Something's not right. Your MPH should be at least 101-104 regardless of 60'. That stock converter is hurting you a lot more than the gears. Get at least a TCI 3500 at minimum in there and run it again. Between now and the. Put it on the dyno and see if it's down on power, the MPH is way low.

Yeah I know , I got so much **** cause my friends stock 2v ran the same as my car. But I plan on getting headers , a tune , and rear end from a friend , it's a 10bolt with a good locker and 3.73s . And maybe a stall. But I'm hoping the smaller tire/ rim will help me gain some secs.

Man I would say get a Compression test done or check the plugs or something. It HAS TO have a problem somewhere to run like that.
Pretty funny a wounded LS car will still have a good race with a Mustang lolz....not the new ones though....those bitches are no joke !

I think the 18's along with the 2.73 gear is what really hurt you. Try it with the 17's and nittos to see if you get any improvement. If not, something is wrong with car.I would still think that it should mph and et better than that though...

Yeah I know, if I don't get any improvement ill check the plugs and do a compression test. But my car is really high mileage with 192,000. But I'm pretty sure the 18s killed my at the track.
