[QUOTE=AronZ28]Forgot to mention I ran both of those times with the jack and spare out, and about 2 gallons of gas in the tank. I'm also running the stock 16" wheels, if you have some bigger, heavier aftermarket ones could slow you way down.[/QUOTE]

For sure. I actually noticed a big difference when going from the 16" wheels to the 17." It felt more sluggish from a roll and down low.

when i made my runs i ran the car with the jack in and the spare tire, also i had a bunch of junk in the trunk cuz it was a spur of the moment thing to go to the track....lol...i agree with TORK?, maybe she's just a late bloomer...lol...im guessin that a new rear end is soon to come with a better gear ratio, cuz i feel im gettin outta the hole good, its just that at the end she seemed to fall on her face.

I'd bypass that new gears idea and go right to a stall. That way you can still keep your 2.73 fuel economy. Plus it would net you better results at the track.

If I were more concerned with go than show thats what I would do. Maybe after I do some aesthetic things I'll worry about making it quicker.

thats not to bad for a stock car with 2.73 just put some 3.73 and you should do pretty good...

What was the date and time you ran? you could figure the DA to see how much it affected, but either way your mph would still be a little low.

Run some seafoam through it, then change the oil, spark plugs, and fuel filter and see how it runs then. I'd be willing to bet it would help.

first time ever at the track, hot as hell after an hour drive through traffic in 80-85 degree heat. 2.73 gears and shitty street tires, stock with just a loudmouth catback....ran a 13.5@106 with a 2.14 60'ft


dont know if that helps you at all but DA can make a huuuuuuuge difference. if you add gears AND/OR a stall, you'll see a pretty big improvement

11@night would be concern for really bad humidity. humidity can hurt you more than heat. i would rather run in 80 degrees with no humidity than 50 degrees with 60% humidity
