Another new personal best with bolt-ons
Another new personal best with bolt-ons Last night, I went to Lonestar Raceway out in Sealy, TX for the first night of the season. The weather was perfect, however the track left a lot to be desired as far as traction. Nobody was getting any traction save the full slicked cars. Anyhow, the car was running hard but the track just wasn't biting but that didn't keep me from getting another personal best.
Mods:
AS&M Mid-length headers
SLP 2OTL Catback
K&N CAI
GM 3.73 Gears
MadZ28 Tune
BFG Drag Radials
60 Foot: 2.09
1/8 ET: 8.56
1/8 MPH: 85.57
1/4 ET: 13.19
1/4 MPH: 106.46
Not too bad for stock stall and horrible traction. If I would of had my 60 foot in the 1.8 range like I usually do, I for SURE would of been in the 12s, and I don't have rockers, higher stall, EWP, and I'm full weight minus tire/jack. I don't have a video because I went out there alone to just get away from things for a while and enjoy myself.

i ran a 13.03@103 so you have the MPH for some high 12's easy with better traction. I saw you have 3.73's so Im assuming you have an A4, ever think about getting a small converter? Good luck!
sweet times man... i def know what u mean by getting away and just having a good night at the track... i am also a bolt on LT1 guy... ur mph is impressive i need a tune, stall, and gears bad!
Thanks guys...I really do think I could get in the 12s no problem. I would get a stall but with my future plans (which won't be too far from now), I'm going to just buy a 12 bolt, either a built 4L60E or 4L80E and I will just do the converter then. The tranny still shifts hard as **** with about 60k on it. I was spinning for a good half second on each shift.

I think your 3200 has a lot to do with the low trap speeds. Apparently higher stalls do equate to lower 60 foots and ETs, but slower trap times.

good running car you got there, congrats on the new best...
But, damn I am jealous of all you guys down south who are racing now, I still have to wait another month before I can try for a new best...

4L60E w/ converter weighs 180 lbs wet.
Just something to think about. if you dont plan to daily drive TH400 is good too. for DD id probly go with built 4L60E.
People running 4L80E's make lots of power 500rwhp +
with a built 4L60E you can run about mid to low 11's and maybe 10's if your lucky.

Thank ya
Think once you bolted on every piece of suspension onto that car how fast it could go... with a nice stall... on just the stock motor.
I got a turbo set-up... so goign to do all suspension/chassis for now and see how fast the stock motor can go with a lil boost
Def good times though!

They are not a sponsor here but the company that built mine has done a few 4l60e's that have been on setups like that and some with even more, I wish I could post a link for you but that's not allowed...
