From what I gather from the trans guys, there's more line pressure when the trans is in OD for the 2-3 shift. It seemed to work for my stock trans with a shift kit on the nitrous. Before it hesitated on the 2-3 shift when left in D for the whole run. Now after it shifts to second I shift from D to OD and the shift is firmer and put me in the high 10's from a previous best of 11.08.
It looks to me like your times are where they should be with you/your car not being an all out drag racer. You can always squeeze a little more here and there.
My 93 Z with stock a4 and 2.73's, LT4 HC kit, hooker LT's and ebay Cai & m/t dr's ran a 13.5 @ 104. 2.1 60.
With my 2.73's I trapped 104mph in SECOND gear. No slow 2-3 shifts for me
3.73s are here waiting to be installed.
I now have a cut-out and a MSD6al, once I get the gears knocked out its back to the track. Prolly next spring.
My trans is on the factory build with 122k miles. Still chirps 2nd. Once it goes its going to get a 3200 stall with lockup.

so im guess its comparable to the LPE 211/219.. hmm im going to have to look into it.
dont feel bad my Brodix 180cc headed 10:1 355 with a voodoo hyrd roller 231/239 535/550 with 1.5's went 13.6 @ 102 in my chevelle with 355 gears, 4spd manual 3k clutch slip launch, and a 2.25 60ft with dr's...

Verdad Gallardo Well the Hotcam is a tad bit larger (218-224?).
With the Drs I def do not get the 2nd gear chirp. Hell I could hardly burnout!
I didnt have wheel hop untill I installed subframe connectors. Before, the tires would spin but not make any noise. After the SFC, they scream and bite and.... hop.
Ive got some LCA relocation brackets that I hope will solve that. Plus Im thinking of boxing in the stock contol arms.
Those Chevelles are heavy pigs. But damn sexy pigs.
My first car was a 69 2dr ht Chevelle. It went 14.2 with a 350/ powerglide. I didnt know much about that engine, it was inplace when I bought the car. It did have a lumpy idle though, headers, performer intake and electric fans.
I miss that car. Heres an old pic I recently found of the " bondo bucket beater"

does the car have quite a few miles on it?
on an 80k mile motor, with LT's, CAI, and a tune, I went 13.19@103, and an 8.49@83 with a 3.23 and street tires, on a 2.00 60'.
I'm not sure what the elevation and all that crap was, that's just what the timeslip said that evening.
what kind of specs are on that cam? I assume they aren't very radical, to get buy with a stock converter.
if you're happy with the car, that's all that matters...

With full exhaust gears and tune I'm running 104 and the DA when I was doing this was over 3000....idc if you have a4 or your DA is 2600...with full bolt ons and a cam (idc if its small or whatever) there is no way you should only be running 103 mph. My friends bolt on lt1 is running 106-107 in the quarter when the weather was bad too...actually it rained 15 minutes after his last run
It seems like comparing apples to apples but its just not the case.
His day at the track and your friends day at the track have so many
variables that could easily make up your friends MPH and
his estimated/ corrected MPH.
Track prep, humidity, temp, condition of the car, mods, condition of the
driver (maybe the OP is a heavy guy, maybe your friend is a little guy).
If it hasn't been mentoined already, where do you live? I see mountainous terriain in the background of your pic.
EDIT- I just noticed in your sig something about AZ. Love that state and love the desert, but the altitude there can be a KILLER! What city do you live in?

i just actually looked into my 2-3 slow shift so hopefully i can try the little trick i found in the auto tranny section and that should help the shift happen faster.
