I'm really looking forward to bolt-ons. Since it ain't my DD I'll probably do a 4,000 stall with 3.73 gears and full exhaust with a lid.

Yup. ET Streets with the converter and hopefully that will hold me over until I can get my exhaust, lid, and tune. Because by that time I'll definitely need tires haha.

Don't rely on butt Dyno. My car felt like a tremendous turd stock, it feels slow as crap modded. Every time I get my slip at the track I'm surprised at the results. Feels like a 15 second car.

I hear ya lol. Not that 8's are fast (1/8th mile) but I didn't think my car had it in it.

You will be blown away by what a stall and gear swap will do. A friend of mine went from stock 2.73s and stock stall to 3600 stall and 3.42... night and day change.

If this is not a DD 4k stall and 3.73 gears sound perfect.

Is it realistic to expect a .5 gain (1/8th mile), provided I have traction? I currently run 8.9's.

My friend dropped more then .5 secs from his stall/gear swap... but it was in the 1/4 mile... idk how much of that you can expect in the 1/8 but i imagine most of it is in the launch.

edit: Actually here you go I found his time.... 1/8th was 7.894@87.52... this is just boltons, 3600 stall, 3.42 gear, and nitto DRs.

Then .5 in the 1/8th may be a little much. Because as-is I'm already pulling 2.0 sixty foots so unless it's gonna drop me to a 1.6-1.7 60' otherwise stock I don't think I'm gonna pull low 8's.

But then again, my sixties are with 235 all-season tires and 2.73 gears, so with a 4,000 stall, shift kit, and 3.73's 1.6-1.7 sixties may be possible. I'll just have to see I suppose.

My friend pulls 1.7x 60 foots all day long with bolt ons and the mods i posted earlier. You will absolutely need a DR once you get a stall if you want 1.7 or better 60 foots.

I'm gonna try to run ET Streets as long as possible, but if traction becomes that big of an issue I will eventually take the dive and buy drag radials.

To be honest you should gain a lot just by running in good weather and basic bolt ons... I ran 8.6 bone stock on 2.1 60fts in pretty good air. Getting down from 8.9 shouldn't be too difficult I wouldn't think.

But I don't want to have to depend on negative DA for a decent ET. I think my runs were at 1,700-2,000FT DA and the actual elevation is about 1,200FT. And until I fix whatever is making my car stutter off the line and through low RPM's, I think I'm stuck running 8.9's-9.0's.

I have no doubt I can run an 8.6-8.7 bone stock without issues.

You won't need negative... but even 2000DA vs 0DA makes a big difference. Reality is being NA you do kind of need to rely on negative DA to run great ETs. I remember when I first got my LS1 car all I could get from it was 13.4 and 13.5 passes. I ended up running just a few weeks before the first snow hit the ground before I managed to get a good time out of it. I don't even run the car in the summer anymore because the times are so bad.

Do you still have your 8.6 time slip? If so what was your 60', 330', ET, and MPH exactly?

I carry my 8.9 slip with me in my wallet. I've been called out on my time a few times now.

My wife actually did much better but didn't have the same conditions...

I need to figure out why I'm losing so much towards the end of the track.

RT .126
60' 2.086
330' 5.911
ET 8.997
MPH 80.915

It seems I was right on par with your 8.6 run until after the 330'.
