My weight with me in the car and 11 gal of gas was 3540 or something VERY close. I just listed ALL my mods. Yes, he was pretty stock, no lid, nothing, i looked under his hood after the race. BTW, my friends 98 Z28 A4 ran 13.3@105 with just a chokemaster out back.

Okay, 3500. I thought those cars weighed less than that. I don't know where I got 3200 from.

Sure they do kyle, Hellion makes a bolt-on which will do just that

Seriously though, I have heard of low 13's w/bolt ons, slicks, and MAD launching and suspension tweaks. Very low mph for the ET though.

Nice Kill stanger..


People never believe me when I tell them my motor is just a stock bolt ons with 160K. There always like "how much did it cost you to build that LT1 and put it in your car." Car idles smooth, and people ask me what cam I'm running. Maybe they just get confused by the open cutouts on the headers

Yeah, I think 25th is on this site too.

I don't see how his car dynoed 270 rwhp (305ish at the flywheel) when it came with 225 fwhp stock...

Those usually run a little faster than M3's (same motor in Z3 body, detuned to 315 bhp here in the states).

The company who built my motor said I should see 13.4 or better in a full weight fox GT with my gearing.
Good kill. I know its not in your power level but my friend has a nice foxbody with a 302 twin turboed and its impressive. I dont mean to bring up an old post on this thread. Although the z3 m coupe or roadster had the 3.2L m3 engine from the 97-99 run with about 240hp/236lbstq. I think they are suppose to be in the low 14's/high 13's. Although the new m version of the z4 is suppose to have around 330hp. I would think that youwould be able to pull one fairly easily unless he wasnt stock.

TY, well, ran into some complications with the carb swap. The pushrod guides the company used were PLASTIC! (WTF!?) and we are replacing them with metal from my old 302 (no damage yet done). Also, a few rocker arms were hitting the baffles in the valve covers (adding thicker Fel-Pro's as adviced by ford to the valvecovers). All in all ,just minor stuff but GLAD!!! to have caught it before the plastic guides totally failed. Anywho, carb swap will be completed sometime next week.

Don't worry about the haters. Anyone who seriously doubts your kill isn't
too bright anyway.

the EFI ran TERRIBLE and dyno-shops could not guarantee a fix "we will try for $500" did NOT please me.

That's funny what you just said about the Tweecer. Two of my 5.0 buddies use them and they don't like them too much at all.

Good job on the Camaro though. My friends cars are basically the same. One of them actually runs the same setup minus the X-cam in his notch. He's running the B-cam instead. I keep telling him to get something other than the letter cam, but he likes it. I'm not a fan of those letter cams personally. The other one is running a Trick Flow kit, and it pulls HARD. Again, nice car.
