Default What do you think my car will run???

My car is a 96 Formula A4, bone stock it ran 14.45 spinning all the way through first cause of the crappy tires I had at the time. Now I have a ramair box with SLP lid and K&N filter and I had the shift points changed. So do you guys think it will run 13's now?

I ran high 13's stock so as long as you get traction its very possible.

I think most LT1s should be capable of hitting 13's stock with a good driver and traction, except the heaviest of them (like fully loaded auto/2.73 Trans Ams and stuff)

You should have no problem if you can get at least like a 2.10 60' time.

You should hit 13.9 or just above. I ran a 13.5 on drag tires with a speed density tune, chambered straight pipes, and all the free mods. Traction is key

Man, hearing about all these Stock cars running in the low 14's and high 13's makes me wish I were closer to Sea level. My **** with CAI, Full-Exhaust and 4.10's only did 14.1@99 MPH, in SLC, Utah.

Thanks for replys. I think my time would have gotten better but I got to the track to late and I only ran once and then they closed the track. I think I am going to be purchasing a exhaust cutout here soon and try that out. Hopefully it quits snowing here sometime.

Yea it's all about the 60' time general rule is every 10th you take off your 60' is worth 2 10th's in the 1/4. That's why I only ran a high 13 with a good launch I can gain close to half a second by getting my 60's down to a 2.0 or so, just gotta wait for the tracks to reopen now. So yea with a good launch you should be able to get some high 13's. It’s all about practice though.

I ran a 13.9 at 101 with a 2.3 60' before I got my longtubes. I ran a 13.8 at 102.8 with my longtubes with the same 60'. The key the running good times has alot to do with getting a good 60'.
