14.0 at 99 mph
14.0 at 99 mph i think i did pretty well for my first time drag racing my TA, i had 2.3-2.4 60 foot times though, thinking if i improved those i would hit 13s
best run was 14.0 at 99, 2.3 60' and worst was 14.185 @ 98.25 mph 2.4 60'
i guess thats good for just cai, shorties, and exhaust?
half tank of 91 octane gas
heres a video of it

My dad was able to run a 13.8 at 99 with a 1.994 60' with basically the same mods and hes not a very good racer. Flowmaster*, eldelbrock shorties, K & N CAI, and a cutout 1/2 tank 93. without the cutout open he ran a 13.9.

like i said, my 60' was 2.5 and tires were at 45-50 psi
i wasnt launching at all haha
and based on the trap speed i think i could do a high-mid 13, also had full tank of gas and only running 91 octane, i wanted to put in 110 but meh

I have heard that LT1's have more low end so spinning may become an issue.
Don't take this as advice from a pro, because I'm far from it, but it sounds like the best method might be something like launching just above idle, around 1200-1400 rpm and ease on the throttle as you pull off the clutch (imagine both feet attached to a string looped over a pulley, as one goes down, the other comes up at the same rate, you follow?) And for pete's sake, drop your air pressure to at least 25-30... 50 psi... come on man!!! LOL!!!
You can get in the 13's, probably fairly well into them, .80's maybe!

My 95 Z28 hardtop had 2.2 60 foot times with 100 mph trap @ 13.987. Hooker exhaust, CAI and UD pulleys. I tried several things like tire pressure and break torquing but my best time was with stock pressure and a 1200 rpm launch. Now, for the real racers to correct this.
