i ran a 15.568

89-90mph is a good low 15. like between 15.2-15.4. ur ET is pretty close to what it should be. i had a trap speed of 89 and ran a 15.81. so its a good low 15. i came up with that by looking around at other peoples time slips.

I ran a 15.5 with 88mph. So probably around that time. Got a little spin at the start though.

meh, that was last summer


the whole summer i worked like 15 hours/week so i honestly had NOTHING better to do than gut the crap out of it and make a run for the track

i'm really curious as to how much that actually helped....

my best was in 03 running a 15.7 with a 2.2 60ft and 87.9 mph

now since my tires are lousy i cant get any better than a 2.42 60ft time and 15.9 at 88 mph

I'll be trapping 90 or above this year with the new mods

on a g-tech I ran a 16.4@94mph
that was about the average time out of three runs with the ground wet and me spinning through 2nd. so does that mean if I could hook up then that would put me in the low to mid 15's?? im new to the hole time and trap thing. Also that was the first time I've ever actually tried any thing like that, but this season I will be going to a real track.

before w/ just the intake my best 60' was 2.258
which ended up being 15.563@88.87

now that i have the motor mounts and the short shifter w/ different(z-rated) rear tires (put the stocks back on the front) i ran a 2.343 for the 60' and total time of 15.568 @89.58

Different for different cars.

You got a car that makes alot of power in the Top end...you can have bad-good ET's with high Mph.
I got my time with an 88mph...and that's about how fast I can go with that mph.

i dont think i'm gonna hit 14s like i wanted to anymore b/c someone dyno'd with the same cams as me and lose a couple hp and some tq until 5700 rpms then power kept build and looks as if the peak hp is after our rev limiter (he has h/e...i dont but every other mod is the same)...i would say i'm gonna run about a 15.3 maybe lower if i'm lucky. i was told 13-15whp gain through the rpm band w/o any low end loss but i guess we were lied to.
