Default What will I run?

I am just curious what you guys think I will run at the strip.

All mods are in the sig.


My ls1 buddys told me I was going to run a 14.0 1/4 mile!!! with the work done to my car. Simply because one of their other friends ran a 14 on a cold day with exhaust and a few other upgrades.

I was pissed to hear this. Especially from a guy that owns an srt-4, (aka "NEON TURBO")

let me now what you guys think I will run with and with out the 100 shot of nitrous.

Thanks

My buddies bolt on LT1 A4 car w/out a converter or gear went 13.1 on a cold night.
His exact mods were: Hooker LT's, 58mm TB, dyno tune, Cold Air kit, and stock 16 inch street tires.
Ran a 8.50 in the 1/8, and 13.1-13.2 in the 1/4.

You don't appear to have a very different setup then mine and I just ran a 12.6 last weekend on a shakedown run without any fine tuning. The main differences are you have gears and I have a stall, but you also have a few more mods as well. I would say with a good launch you should easily be in the high 12's...

I totally agree. I've seen bone stock LT1s in mid 13s, which is considered "freakish", but also, possible. The bolt-on record is 11.80, so 12s should be definate. Good luck.

there are other variables that need to be taken into consideration. Track elevation, weather conditions, vehicle weight. On a sea level track,in the right conditions, I see no reason why high 12s can't be achieved.

i have a 94 trans am A4 i had cai,pulleys,3.73,foil, it ran 13.52@101.2 1.91 60ft and it was hitting the rev. limiter shifting into 3rd. i just put LT and 4in y-pipe,hypertech, and it went from 8.77@80.6 to 8.42@82.4 both with 2.01 60ft so your car should run 12.7 to 13.0 on motor and 12.0 to12.2 on spray
