is 12's possible
 
Is 12's possible with a 94 Ta A4 2400stall.Lt's,1chamber turn downs,3.73's, CAI,pulleys,foil,8.2mm wires,free mods, car is 3280lb , o yea Mt dr's

Formula350 Jun 8, 2007 11:02 PM

Well 12.9 is still 12s ;) So I'd say yea, somewhere in the high 12s is doable. Depends on some Earthly factors too. Sea level, barometric pressure, track temp and quality. Not to mention the driver.

TravisMcGill2000 Jun 8, 2007 11:14 PM

im in north Ga and the temp is going to be in te mid 70's. i have been drag racing for 6 years just new in the lt1 world so i got my fingers crossed for 12.7's to 12.9s

OutlawZ Jun 8, 2007 11:17 PM

I think with that stall you're more likely to get low 13's.... keep in mind these things generally run low 14's stock..... With a bit mroe stall i'd think you'd have 12's in the bag.... But with a great launch it'll still be possible if you're a great driver...

TravisMcGill2000 Jun 8, 2007 11:22 PM

my car ran 13.53@101 with just 3.73's and cai 1.93 60ft

GreatWhiteZ28 Jun 8, 2007 11:28 PM

Don't be suprised if you stay in the 13.teen area...Mine only went 13.33's with a 2800 and full bolt ons at Sea level, no head wind and around 60-65* temps with a 1.89 60ft. I'd look into at least a 3200 or so to get the 60ft down to do a high 12..but it's deff. possible, IMO your going to really need a bigger and efficiant stall

OutlawZ Jun 8, 2007 11:29 PM

hmmmm then you've got a nice fast stocker..... kinda like mine although mine was a 1LE which gave it a nice weight advantage.... I ran 13.77@102.5 bone stock even with the GM air filter.... but not all do it....

was that 13.5 with your sticky tires????? cuz that is a mod.. ;)

What have you installed since the 13.5 that is above and beyond the best pass you've made????

urbanhunter44 Jun 8, 2007 11:35 PM

12s are definitely doable.. i ran 12s with just headers/cai/tune/tires.. and i've seen that duplicated many times. Just get that launch down and you're golden, getting 12s out of bolt on LT1s is all about driving.

TravisMcGill2000 Jun 8, 2007 11:42 PM

the 13.5 was on 245/45/16 street tires. since then i have added Lt's,hypertech for the shift adjustments,2400 stall,rebuilt tranny,pulleys,foil,1 chambers and dumps, weight reduction, and drag rad. and 160* stat

TravisMcGill2000 Jun 8, 2007 11:45 PM

my car is the w rated or somthing like that it came with 2.73 ,small rear wing and hard top so that helps with weight

StealthFormula Jun 8, 2007 11:56 PM

I definetly think so because with a CAI and Full Exhaust only I was running 13.4's

1SlowFormula Jun 9, 2007 12:31 AM

As stated above your stall speed is a little low on the converter, but it may be possible, the mod list you mentioned isn't too far off from mine and you are at least a couple hunderd pounds lighter since at my last weigh-in my car had a raceweight of 3490#...

Formula350 Jun 9, 2007 01:15 AM

If you still don't make 12s with that setup, you'll for sure hit it with a real tune in place of that Hypertech.

Chris95Z Jun 9, 2007 02:34 AM

I agree, def possible esp with a good 60' which the sticky tires should have you covered there.

Hot94Z28 Jun 9, 2007 03:57 AM

Yeah I think you can get it done.

titter Jun 9, 2007 04:07 AM

You will get there ... 60' is your friend. On those mt's and stock suspension you should be able to cut 1.6's or better.

If it doesn't make 12's, I would think about a larger stall ... a 2400 is damn near stock to me ... but I also haven't been in a vehicle with less than a 3200 in awhile.

engineermike Jun 9, 2007 10:23 AM

The LT1 bolton record is in the high 11's. A local guy ran 11.96 at about 112 with bolton's only. Do a search for SAR2K on camaroz28.com.

Haven't seen a LT yet run 12's. Only LS's.

Rowdy94 Jun 9, 2007 11:03 AM

I think you might pull it off. There's no way to really tell until you run it down the 1320 though.

Try to go on a perfect weather day. Low humidity and a nice cool night would be best.

You're going to need all the help you can get.
