so I just bought a 2000 formula and I took it to the track and it did 15.5 and I know that has to be near impossible this is my first race car so I don't know a lot about it but I know I should be doing high 13s unless there is something different with the formulas doubt it tho I'm also getting codes for converters and 02 sensors any ideas ?

heres an idea, get some o2 sensors lol. other than that clean your maf, check air filter, what exhaust do you have? what size tires are you running? any mods??

 

the car is bone stock I just ordered some longtubes and a y pipe just waiting on them but I was just curious cause I really didnt think that would effect the car especially at wot ?

Get it dyno'd, that will show you were its falling off

 

I did the codes are 420 and 430 Wich is the converters and 137 and 157 Wich are the 02 sensors those are the only codes

I like your username.

Just a personal recommendation, don't a car to track with codes on.
Kinda just asking for extra headaches with possibilities of more stuff to fix.

 

you would think but I've seen some full on race cars have light on and especially with my car is just pretty much exhuast codes no I just don't know if that's why its so dam slow becuase the car is running pretty good

I was really trying to avoid a dyno as I was looking into HP tuners

do you live in colorado?

 

what altitude do you live in? get that **** fixed before you race it again . . . you can possibly **** your engine up if you continue to run it like that

 

If your precat O2s are shot, that is your problem. They control fuel trims. Get some OE front O2s.

Unless you can't drive but you would have to be the worlds worst

 

Can we get more details of the run like 60 ft time? MPH? etc. Don't take this the wrong way but just because a car is capable of running a certain time doesn't mean that anyone can run that time' the driver mod plays a HUGE roll.

 

do a basic tune up (plugs, wires, change/check all fluids - rearend, tranny)
get a couple of new 02 sensors and extensions
when you install your headers/y-pipe, do a mail order tune (unless you get HP Tuners yourself)
welcome to the 13's, maybe even 12's

 

I live in Illinois and I know its not the driver did a couple of runs and had some friends to times all the Same and mph is only 92 and the times were 2 6 10 13 15 I'm not gonna take it till I I install the exhaust I'm pretty sure the hearders and extensions will work if not time for fuel and compression test

lets please see your full time slip so we can see your 60 foot time and your trap speed in particular as well as what track you race at - someone mentioned Denver which is a mile high so you would lose a lot of et racing there or even on a day closer to sea level with poor density altitude ( factors in temp ,humidity ,barometric pressure, altitude)

areyou running premium fuel in the car ? it is recommended and you will lose timing advance on regular fuel which removes power.

is your car loaded down with stereo equipment or have big wheels that are heavy ?

theres a lot of factors and there are many of us here that can help you sort through and get that bad boy running good times.

I wouldnt go throwing a bunch more mods on it until you figure out whats up with it.

 

I'm also not doing a burnout when I take off its not slipping

Im running a stock ta wheel in the rear with a mickey t 255 50 16 the car has no radio equipment in it has no t tops and it not even leather as I wanted a light as possible ls1 the track I went to I went to was the grove (Wisconsin) the track was preped real nice as there was a pretty big event there


Posted from LS1Tech.com App for Android

my 60ft was 2.313 my 1/8 et was 10.153 and mph was 71.41 pretty slow somethings not right really hoping exhuast will help becuase I don't see it being anything else


Posted from LS1Tech.com App for Android

 

What are you doin when launching? Thats a horrible 60ft with drag radials...

 

I know and I was foot braking around 1500 rpm then launch I also did not do a burnout

Since I'm going to assume the car has ran the same since you bought it, if there is something wrong with the car it seems like it would have been like that from the get go. You may want to take the car to someone who knows a little more about these cars to give it the once over.

I'd do all the regular "tune-up" items to see if that works before anything else IMO. Only then would I take it somewhere to see what the problem is.

 

ok well I don't want to sound like a Dick either since I need some help but if you read the thread I know how to drive and the car needs o2s and converters I just wanted some opinions

92 mph trap is super low - thats just over what a v6 4th gen f body would do stock , you definately have something wrong mechanically
